Has anyone used a MobilityPlus wheelchair?
Hi all, apologies if I've put this in the wrong category.
I am ambulatory, and have recently started using a folding powerchair to manage pain (HSD), fatigue (CFS), and difficulty standing (POTS). It has made such a difference already in helping me get back to things I used to enjoy but have been unable to do for a while.
I'm currently using a Pride iGo plus, but even though it is considered lightweight for a power chair it's not something I can lift and so am looking for something ideally I might be able to lift (or at least be easier for my family to lift so I feel less bad asking them getting it in and out the car).
I've come across a company called MobilityPlus who do a folding carbon fibre power chair called Nova.
I will obviously be trying out some different ones before deciding but just wondered if anyone has anything positive or negative to say about them! I realise I can't have everything I want all in one chair but I would like something sturdy enough still to cope with rough surfaces as the pavements near me aren't exactly smooth and I do like getting out in the countryside too (although I've found that smoother than the pavements to get there!)
