    I have one, its ok to use, terrible on rough terrain, and even though I am in the UK and the restricts the speed of wheelchairs, its really slow, the remote control is good to use, helps with loading onto the van, be aware of toppling over in it, you cannot traverse a ramp, so if your path has a sloping ramp going across it, which is steep the chair struggles and has happened to me twice fallen over. The plastic parts are flimsy. The basket underneath is inaccessible. On the drop arms I have fitted two lights from a bike. There is no USB charger. Getting into a bus or taxi is frightening, as the ramps are steep, the protective wheels at the back do not give me confidence, It struggles with UK curbs, the shock to the back is terrible. Also taking apart the motor section is really heavy, and it fills a hatchback car boot up. I am hopefully getting an Omeo soon, this whill chair is amazing in an office however be aware the arms do not clear a desk, and its pain, as is restaurant tables. It fits a london taxi, and a standard uk train. I love the chair, except its slow, and is rubbish on rough pavements, and muddy gravel.

      We just bought a C2. Still testing it. But to compare to the Omeo is a completely different target audience. Omeo will NOT fit behind my 3rd row of SUV when I'm hauling 6 people. It's just a completely different product. The person in Omeo needs core control for the hands free, not possible with us. I have no issues with the basket underneath. I will say it's hard to put the seat back on this when it's dissassembled.

    I have one and have been using it since it’s released.3+ years? It’s been so long.
    Zero maintenance so far. I do not use it on rough terrain like grass or rocky surfaces … it works on some reasonable rough surfaces but why do I want to do that?
    I paid out of my pocket and I consider it’s the best electric wheelchair money can buy for me at any price point.
    Disassembling and reassembling is not too difficult but I need someone to do it for me. One you get a hang of it, you can do it in a few minutes.
    I may get a model F in addition to this when I decide to travel by plane more frequently.

    And it would sink in sand, whereas the Omeo eats sand for breakfast....
