Hi @jimjo16 and welcome to the community! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your electric wheelchair, have you tried contacting the place/service you got it from?

sounds like it could be something to contact REMPLOY about. They are inventors!

Hello @jimjo16. Welcome to the forum!
Sorry to read that. Have you tried calling the company directly? Failing that you can try contacting Which customer service number on 029 2267 0000 to see if they can help.
