Emily my wife has had this chair since 2014. Her version is a little different, (really minor). But I did want to point out to others who watch, that if your taking it on a plane you have to pull out the electric cords to the wheels for travel. Also not sure if your chair has it, but my wife's chair came with a travel bag, that once you unplug the wheels and fold it up the chair fits snugly in the bag. It's easy to travel with and in the over 4 years we've had it. Only recently did we run into any problems with the wheels. I got in touch with the company and for roughly $860 they sent two new wheels along with a video to show how to make the change. We are very happy with the chair.
I just got this chair a couple days ago and found your video when I wanted to figure out how to open and close it. Thank you for making such a thorough review! Also you're so cute, I'm glad you are here making videos. I hope you continue!
A very sensible, and if I may add unbiased review, as you would expect to get from an actual user and not the 'sales' person. I now realize that the weight capacity is not enough for my build, so will have to look elsewhere. Your great review has saved me a lot of apprehension, thank you.
I'm so sorry, Victoria, I'm just seeing that I never responded to your comment 😞 I'm terrible! Yes, there are small red levers on the back wheels that you can lift, allowing it to be pushed manually. It rolls pretty easy but it can be slightly difficult on some surfaces BC of the small wheels
Hi Emily, I'm about to buy a light weight electric wheelchair but undecided which one yet. There is so many of them on the market. Please let me know how good this Foldawheel PW-1000XL Power Chair is. Hope your experience with this Foldawheel PW-1000XL Power Chair will help me choose the right light weight electric wheelchair. Thanks for your help in advance :)
I am using same model as Emily. . it's liberating !! as I am polio from waist since 2 years old n got stroke which taken my right hand mobility for the last 2 years pw1000 is for person who want more speed n bigger size seat with others extra features. really 100% recommend it
Thanks so much for the review! I tried and Fold and Go portable chair and it was near impossible to lift! Thankfully I rented it first to try it, so I could send it back. My manual is on its last legs and I would really love to replace it with a portable power chair (I'm a part time wheelie, can't stand for long periods of time). When you say it's hard to handle on smooth surfaces, does that mean you can lose steering ability? Or it's just not as tight a turning radius? What does it do that makes it hard to handle?
Like the wheels will lose traction and the steering goes haywire. It can be kinda scary and even almost dangerous in some instances. I wouldn't feel comfortable being out alone with it, I need someone able-bodied walking next to me to be there if it decides it wants to vier off the sidewalk. This hasn't even happened but I'm not risking it
Thank you for responding so fast you're the only one I know who's gotten to me fast yes it is a very good scooter but yes I would be sketchy too I probably would want to walk with someone next to me they're gonna have to do a little bit more work on it for me I cant do 65 lol
cynthia casey hahah exactly! As long as I'm with someone I'm ok. They just have to understand that you might need a little more help than you regularly would.
Hello Emily, congratulations on your video, it was a lot of help, especially with your beauty and kindness.I am very interested in the model XL but I intend to buy it to be delivered to the house of a cousin of mine in the USA because I am afraid that there will be some problem to deliver here in Brazil.I was left with a question about the time it took for you to get your chair, did it take long to arrive? And you live in the USA in which state?
I'm in California. I believe it took 12 business days for it to arrive but unfortunately, I don't remember exactly as it was almost 2 years ago. It gets delivered via DHL shipping.
I need something lighter and faster than that. I only need one part of the time, but if my legs keep getting worse I may need one all the time. It would be better if I can get God to just heal them but so far he has not. He did heal me of a problem I had with one of my arms after it had been screwed up for several years. I'll pray for healing for you too and anyone else that needs it.
Hola necesito hacer una consulta mi papa tiene una silla y el esta enfermo y necesito saber que modelo es tengo fotos le puedo pasar para que me pueda ayudar
Linda Evans on mine, you plug the included charger to the front of the joy stick. There's a circle with 3 holes to match up with the charging cord. But I do believe they have upgraded the chair since I got mine so it's possible it's not the same. If so, I'm sorry, but I think the joy stick is a good place to start looking
very nice review .YES IT COULD USE MORE SPEED ON IT .CROSSING WIDER STREETS LIKE Detroit and crumbling road and streets you would want to get cross these street quickly or get hit by some fool who;s been drinking all night speed and twerk to handle these roads It dose rise an eyebrow
cynthia casey yes i agree it's too slow! It can be a little sketchy crossing streets. I wouldn't be comfortable doing it alone in fear of getting stuck or not being seen
Brian Carter that's your opinion. My video is what I intended it to be; a review, not a demonstration. I believe you can find other videos here on UA-cam that you can see a demonstration, if that's what you are looking for 😀
Thank you for doing reviews! It’s so helpful!
I’m so glad! I have a newer chair now that I should review

daniel mcgurty thank you Daniel! That's super helpful! Mine did come with a travel bag that I've completely forgot about.
You explained it perfectly, You are a very sweet person easy to listen too.
Hi Emily, thankyou for your review, I've been looking at folding electric wheelchair's for a while now + your review really helped ☺️
I just got this chair a couple days ago and found your video when I wanted to figure out how to open and close it. Thank you for making such a thorough review! Also you're so cute, I'm glad you are here making videos. I hope you continue!
Jo Progo thanks Jo! I'm so glad you found it helpful! I really need to start back making videos, I've been in a funk

I guess it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Ramon Jack flixportal :)
@Damian Israel thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!!
@Ramon Jack No problem xD
i just got mine delivered today. First try, I like it so far. it's very heavy for a weak person. so people should be aware of that.
Hanna Gray I agree It's not as light as a feather but compared to every other portable power chair I've ever seen it win by a land slide
Hi were do you buy the anti tip wheels for my wheelchair88
is it easy to push manually? or does it have that resistance since its electric?

Is it easy for another person to maneuver manually when that happens?
Great review thank you
I do believe the website has the weight at 45 lbs without the batteries (51.6 lbs with batteries).

Hi Emily, my name is Stella. I was born with Cerebral palsy. I have a question about the fold wheel. Can this wheelchair go on the sandy beaches?
No, unfortunately I don’t think it would do well in sand

I gave up @ 05.22.
why have u not told me about this magical chair that i can come steal you away! !!!
Sorry Emily, you should be demonstrating how the power chair performs rather than spending half the video speaking about it.
Brian Carter that's your opinion. My video is what I intended it to be; a review, not a demonstration. I believe you can find other videos here on UA-cam that you can see a demonstration, if that's what you are looking for 😀
