My only complaint is that it does NOT come in a choice of colors. I really wanted it in red with a foxtail instead of a coontail.

Easy to Transport. Fast. Powerful Motor. Long Battery Life. Comfortable.

This chair needs a rumble seat. All the hot chicks who live at Golden Age retirement home want a ride ; this makes their husbands mad but who cares?
The seat cold be water resistant because the rapid acceleration can make my Depends leak.
One nice thing is dealing with tailgaters, one jet blast and the front of the little import is melted

Two things I realized when I received my concept wheels: (that should have been mentioned to those interested in the product):
1. I can't stop this thing. There are no brakes to be found anywhere. With such a powerful motor it's hard to imagine how the engineers who designed it overlooked an equally powerful braking system. If you order one of these bad boys, you'll need to get some kevlar lined gloves like those you use with the downhill wheelchairs.
2. I can't find jet fuel anywhere close by. The closest jet fuel supplier is at a nearby airport. They charge an arm and a leg which I can only spare an arm for! (I'm a legless bloke)
by Joe Stub from Mobile, AL
Pros:
Durable. Good Value. Beats wait at airports. High Quality.
Tired of people starring at you? Well, give them something really to stare at and have them stand behind you when you're ready to take a spin so they end up with "more than" egg on their faces. You won't believe the smooth ride this chair provides and I'm taking mine for a jump over the snake river which would do the late "Evil Knievel" proud!One thing you've got to remember, keep your mouth closed while cruising. Unless you're into bugs that is!
by Dean the poolshark from Heaven, Mi
Pros:
Good Value. High Quality. Durable. Fast. Reasonably Priced.
Cons:
No wings. Brakes suck.
Best Uses:
Impress your friends. Robbing bingo parlors. Quick trips to the store.
This wheelchair is the best product I have ever purchased. Don't sweat the high price, it is well worth it as a getaway vehicle after you rogb the local BINGO game.

I had the chance to trial one of these chairs at the wheel chair expo in Dallas last weekend. This is an excellent concept, but there are a few notable flaws. First of all, as other reviewers have mentioned, anti-tip wheels would make it much easier to accelerate quickly without tipping backward. The chair handles well for open roads and long trips, but can be finicky in the market or in tight urban congestion. A lower-powered city mode would be a great benefit here (rumors have it that this will be available for next year's model). The seat is surprisingly comfortable with gel padding and lumbar support, but lacks height adjustment. While the chair's suspension is adequate, the steel frame appears somewhat thin for this application--it doesn't seem to pose a true safety risk, but tends to rattle and flex at high speeds. All in all this is a great chair, but I'd like to see some improved features and handling before putting down the money to own one of these. I still rate it four stars for the innovative concept. EDITOR'S NOTE: The manufacturer claims that the frame rattling issue has been addressed and the final release version features carbon fiber reinforcing throughout.

When reaching speeds past 110 MPH, the front wheels would rattle back and forth causing a severe vibration in the seat. At 150. the vibration makes it difficult to steer and the brake handle won't catch. I selected the ejection seat option and used it once I realized I couldn't stop quickly enough at the intersection. Upon ejecting, I observed the safety features kick in cutting off the engine and the automatic drag chute came out stopping the chair at the intersection. As I floated to the ground, I steered the parachute and made a perfect landing right back into the seat! Next time I'll read the manual more carefully, but they need to do something about those rattling wheels!

Cons:
Weak Motor.

I have to give this product a poor review. Zero to 300 in 4.2 seconds? Not a chance. Try more like 4.8... which it turns out will just get you an expensive ticket by the local cops.
by 395 from Bishop, CA
Pros:
Feel of freedom.
Cons:
Brake torque is tough.
Best Uses:
Retired chics dig it. Great in the drive-thru. Running over blind people. My kids can't run from me.
I really like the feel of jet propulsion between my legs. Being an 88 year old man, I miss the rush of anything between there any more.
