Permobil m300 curb test

- Permobil M 300's stability tested on a 2 inch curb. I did this test to compare the M 300 against the QM 710's more advanced suspension design.
If you or someone you know owns either chair, please share your experiences here. Thanks!

That is a very impressive test of the independent front and back wheels, would never attempt at in my TdX SP in Australia. I know it's not a recommended way to go down a curb but it is nice to know it can be done. I'm looking at getting a particular share or another model had tried to find out as much info as possible. Thank you for the video
Being a e-chair user for over 20 years myself I am appalled. Taking curbs should NEVER be done this way, as it is a sure way to unbalance both user and chair. Use ramps and if not possible, confront the obstacle head on: drop both front wheels off the curb using your mid-wheels engines to break the fall and ease the drop. Then ease the rest of the wheels off the curb. Note for midwheelers: if the curb is too high the suspension will be maxed out and it is possible that the midwheels will lose contact with the surface. Only way to handle that situation is with a push by your friendly neighborhood spiderman, or whoever.

you were thinking like myself.Danger uneven curbs
That's real iffy. Over 6 in curb and you would probably topple. Chair repairs are expensive and getting hurt is no fun either.
I've had the Corpus M300 for five years. I can take curbs like that straight on.
hey sorry to bother, can it go UP a curb like that too? Thanks
thats a good way to get hurt. But, it's nice to know it can be done in a pinch. Yeah and I agree with James if you want to do it, go straight, not sideways.
I think the idea was to show the independent suspension of each wheel while going down the curb at that angle compared to a similar QM710 in another video. It makes me wonder though if the Permobil would have been trapped if you went straight forward. I also wish there was a Q6 Edge video. Thanks for the information.
I use the M300 to get up 2.5" climbs onto the local light rail (tram) and around local kerbs. Apart from Marjin being entirely correct that this is a horrific way to treat a M300 and opening the angle like that is the easiest way to ground any chair in a hard to move manner, the drive wheels can manage the tip and the 'helper' is in a stupid place if the chair tips. While it does show the independent suspension it's pretty biased saying it's less sophisticated than the QM710 and Q6 Edge given they're both easier to beach and harder to recover from, plus the tracking systems interfere with normal driving - especially on adverse cambered slopes.
I ended up getting the new permobil f3 and now I see they have a new design called the m3 for their m300 replacement. It looks nice. Wish it was available when I was getting the f3.
I've just gone ahead with a F5 for the VS package even though I really want a M5 because I ride a lot with my 3 year old boy on my lap. The M3 is fantastic from what I've seen but the reality is that the front wheel drive is less likely to overheat, get stuck and comfort is generally better, plus public transport and kerb climbing is better and you don't have to worry about castor issues the M300 once had and a few other things - the F series tend to have bigger motors so the M3 is now an 'indoor/outdoor' chair - but in 4 years I guess you're hoping for the M3.2?
Yup, pro's and con's for both, but I really miss being able to turn in tight places with a mid-wheel drive. Still getting used to the front wheel drive, but it does have it perks too. Thanks for the info.
Driving off a curb at an angle like that could lead to tipping over sideways. You should go up and down curbs straight on.
That curb was a little uneven. I'd like to see it done on a level curb.
How to go ON the side walk?
