I have a traditional mid wheel drive. Powerchair and I can do hands-free shopping and carry twice as much! I have a bar on the back of my chair with buggy buddy clips and can carry multiple heavy bags. I don’t need to use my hands at all I would definitely give the Powerchair one point and the Omeo zero points for carrying shopping. The other advantage I have is that I can use a drive from Wheelchair adapted vehicle and can drive straight in and sit in the drivers position using an automatic locking system. I’d like to see the Omeo being used this way in particular getting up, the ramp facing forwards and coming down the ramp facing backwards, I do not believe this would be possible in OMEO.

Yes the Omeo is not cheap, BUT it's an awesome piece of equipment! My wife has MS, she got her Omeo within the last year, it changed her life...

@@AnthosKlox This price isn't what's so bad. It's the Support for ALL these types of devices. No company is big enough to provide extensive support for such an expensive device. When we lost Segway, we lost the whole support network that was the closest we had to a standard. Now it's a huge gamble trusting in any company.
