Hello, I have a Roma Marbella Power Chair. Not very comfortable in joints and back.  Which Power Chairs have a better ride?  Front wheel, middle wheel or back wheel? I looking to get another and I'm lost in the which one?

    I love watching the snow fall.  I don't mind if going out is not in the to do list.

    No, I got it through motobility, it just about goes through my front door. It was not suitable from the start. Back wheel drive difficult even over the small door step.  I've got two dodgy dics, even my neck ached yesterday.

    Motobility have agreed.  I have to pay £50 to end contract.

    o no thats not very good, a i think every ones door is same size , how silly not making electric wheelchairs  smaller in width ,that has surprised me alot , yes you need one which is good for you , did think they all look good people iv seen using them , nothing is worse then being in pain, thats not good having to have to pay £50 to end contract they should be giving you £50 to you for  inconvenience  of that wheelchair.

    No my bungalow was built in about 1950 it's only the newer property with larger doorways.  I could have the door changed, but it's a housing association,  and all the inner doors are too small.  I feel not enough is done to help make a choice in something as large as a wheelchair.  Notability rely on a nominated supplier.  Very sad, 5 months down the line and still trying to find whats best.

    o right the house im in was built in 1950s to trying to get a move to smaller house ,the house is big but the kitchen was very small , they knocked dining and kitchen into one now it is big , did think about bungalow but i think might be to small for me , but they do seem nice , no they need to put there heads together and come up with a lot difference wheelchairs for what is wrong with that  person , i am sure you will get the right one in the end for you it all takes time ,i have not got the spell check on my pc dont know how to get it on here, im no good at spilling
