To be perfectly honest I was concerned by the things not said in this video. They all say they have powerful motors and large capacity batteries but not one said what the motors were rated at. Most likely they are the standard 250w motors. But they could equally be the cheaper 200w ones. They also didn't say how many motors. The standard is 2 x 250w motors and that's fine if you only ever want to go on very smooth surfaces. They won't take you up much of a slope. I also noticed every one of them showed them going down from curb but not up on to one and the reason is probably that they do that very poorly as is common with this type of design. To put that in perspective the one that looked best designed for going over a curb says on it's website that it will go over obstacles up to 2" in height (smaller than a lot of curbs). If you want an electric wheelchair you might want to take that into consideration.
I tried the Permobil F5 VS, and the quality of ride was tainted by flutter from day one, and it had random errors on the screen, and it had plastic hubs for the casters. Also, when fluttering, the chair sounded much worse than its predecessor, C500, that took 5 years to flutter. Try Bounder300 or Caterwil.
$30000 bulky chairs, not rain or water and snow proof, I like the standing and elevation models, too slow and mileage should be better, it’s not like we don’t have the technology, wait it will be expensive and insurance will only pay 500 of the 30000. And quit using none paraplegic to try out these chairs
The one thing that bugs me about Electric Wheelchairs is the range you get to a charge, My Quickie Groove R does 8mph and about 20miles on a charge only on the flat, going uphill it eats the batteries, What I'd like to see in the future is chairs that have significantly more range to a charge, if they can do it with cars ,they can do it with chairs
maybe find someone to upgrade your batteries to Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePo4) to solve your rangeproblem, plus your chair will be lighter overall too!
If it is not used frequently, it can be fully charged every week or every month to maintain good battery life. It is detailed in the PERFCARE instructions.
I can tell you this. I have been a Permobil customer for nearly 30 years even before the manufacturer came to America. They originated from England. Every time it is time for me to get a new chair, I always strongly request the M3 Corpus Cristy, the fairy first one that I had lasted me almost 13 years. The motors on them are very strong and reliable which is one reason why I always go with that model and that brand. This year was a nightmare I allowed a vendor to talk me into the F3 series still with Permobil. Folks when you know you have a chair that works for you don't let a vendor or the manufacturer representative talk you into something new because it's the new trendy thing. Stick with what you know unless you see it's no longer working for you. Personally I absolutely hate the F3 series, it is too big, I requested the anti-tip wheels in the front otherwise it is front wheel drive and in my opinion not nearly as stable going forward down the ramp, it is much bigger and more bulky, than anything I have tried to use before. Considering I live alone I am not able to walk I also have to use it in my house it does not turn as sharply overall I just really do not like the chair. Thankfully the manufacture representative recently contacted me do you know as I am very unhappy with the chair and they are planning to replace it with the chair I originally requested which is the M3, hopefully this comes about because otherwise this one very wrong experience almost caused Permobil to lose a nearly 30 year customer I had already decided I would not go with their company again with my next Power wheelchair.
Sir pls do provide automatic signal lights + emergency signsl to all your units which are needed specially when the rider is a disabled person ...! Do you have store outlets / world wide / here in philippines ...?
anything that goes faster then 5mph will not be covered, for those of you in America on SSI or whatever getting your chair for free. Good luck getting anything that elevates. Don't even show me that red granny shit, those chairs are not good enough period.

The Magic Mobility Frontier V6 should be on that list!

well explained, very professional
the m3 is not available in front or rear drive. The F3 is front. Permobil doesn’t make a rear wheel version of either.
Excellent 👌👍
