Seems to be reliable goes 3 different speeds & reverse zero turn 360 degrees keep on on battery level so you don't get stranded bring charger incase of charging is needed 8 mile distance before charging.
My husband bought me this chair as my walking was getting bad with MS. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to operate, however you will slide all over the place if it's wet and since I live in Seattle, the epi center for rain, this is problematic to say the least. But if you take it very slow you should de okay! The battery life is iffy and you run out of juice pretty quickly.
The chair was purchased for my husband who has mobility issues due to MS; thought it would assist in him getting around the house and outside. However he did not find it easy to operate. He wanted me to see about returning it but since it's past the 14 days we're stuck with it and out the cost of the chair that will never be used by him. It might be a good option for some but not for anyone that has mobility and/or memory issues. Sometimes 14 days is not enough time to evaluate a product.
After two years I like and recommend BUT this can't be a full-time chair. Driving with two hands is fun. Really fun actually and nimble and intuitive. But carrying things when doing so is a challenge. So it's not great for home. But the worst is that you can't go anywhere when the ground is wet. Sit and spin. I'd pay more for this device if it had bigger, better rear wheels and a bit more power. The backup beep is annoying AF. I'm disabled - not a dump truck. I'm now driving a Falcon for travel which is slower and janky but more powerful.
I received my chair as a gift, thinking it would help relieve strain on my shoulders. Don't get me wrong its a really neat electrical chair. But since I've gotta use either my crutches, wheelchair, or walker. Using this isn't able to maneuver if there's a high slope on sidewalks or driveways. I've tried so unless someone is with me to hold myself up then be seated again. All in all it's fun and in order to use I'd need an able bodied person with me to use
The chair was purchased for an 89 year old friend of mine. I made the decision to purchase because the chair is light and easy to load in my small car. There is definitely a learning curve; however, I believe it will be a good purchase once she gets the hang of it.
This chair makes it so much easier to get around. I was having problems using a manual wheelchair on my carpet. I just wasn't strong enough to keep pushing myself around all day. The Zinger Chair drives right through with no problem. Thanks Zinger.
On level ground the ZInger Chair is pretty good.
It is very dangerous when trying to drive it down or up a ramp, especially where turns are involved.
It's not going to happen.
Why? Unless you are pulling up on the direction levers the chair is in neutral - no control whatsoever.
Think about that!
Plus both tires require 42lbs of pressure - lose pressure, you can lose control and not everyone has an air compressor handy.
My grandfather is on oxygen and I purchased this for him because pushing a normal wheel chair began to be too difficult for him. He loves the speed and comfort of the Zinger chair! He even has me looking for a "backup mirror" for his new "toy."! Haha.
He has been able to spend more time in the living room with the family which is a true blessing from God. The Lord Jesus has given my grandfather comfort in these last moments of his here on Earth and I'm grateful that this chair has provided an easier way for us to spend time with him!
So with the pandemic its been hard getting my Zinger repaired. My next step is that since I have the replacement caster wheel assembly, but no idea on how to put it on until I'm able to get to a "bicycle repair shop" I'm just going to have a friend drill out the broken part from the wheel and the fork and make a temporary attachment to each other. Since this is the broken wheel no harm no foul.
Please note that this review is based on Customer Service. Not the product, because this is a great product. I have MS and I've been coming to terms about having to use a wheelchair. Not me. That's not gonna happen. So When I saw a commercial for the Zinger I thought ok its not a wheelchair. I can do this. I ended up buying it on ebay. I saved $700. It was brand new. Fell in love with it. Had it for 2 months. One day I decided to go to grocery store. As I crossed the street up the corner ramp my Zinger almost threw me to the ground. Apparently the caster broke. Had a friend come pick me up. Called on a Friday to get a replacement. I was told no one was there to answer my question about part replacement. It was late. So I was asked for my contact info. Told they would get back to me Monday. Didn't happen. So I called back. Was told to take photos of chair. They gave me a forwarding email address. Waited for a day. No return response. I called back. Was told that I was given the wrong email address. So they gave me another. That email didn't exist. I finally gave up on the company and found part on ebay. Thank God. So great product awful customer service. What I would still like to know was this broken caster just a stroke of bad luck, or should I tread gently? I should also mention the name of the company was First Street
