VerPal Lightest Carbon Fiber Electric Wheelchair 6101

Like the chair very much, when I can get it to turn on. Most of the time the ON button does nothing when pressed, unless THE BATTERY CHARGER IS CONNECTED. Almost impossible to use the chair under these conditions. Have contacted Verpal numerous times but with no help.

At this time I am impressed with the quality and technology in the chair. Have not had an opportunity to try it for a long distance. Only tested the operation of the controls on my basement floor. Ask me again in 30 days when when I have used it to get into the Dr. office and other outside locations.

I love my Verpal wheelchair. I am 72 and have permanent knee damage that prevents me from walking long distances even with a walker. I bought it for a cruise and extended stay in Florida. On the boat I used it when I had a bad knee day. But it was essential when getting offshore on six islands. It allowed me to traverse the lengthy distance on the dock and to travel almost anywhere. It managed on rough surfaces and steering was great. It was a bit difficult to maneuver on slanted surfaces and steep ramps going up. In those situations it climbed up but the front wheels lifted off the ground. It never came close to tipping but my wife stayed behind me to make sure.
The battery usually had plenty of power although it still hasn’t completely charged as the instructions promised. I am not sure if it is defective. It came with a back seat cover missing which I need to address with the company.
Its weight is a huge positive feature. It folds into a small package that can easily be lifted and put in your car. I never had a problem with public transport. It can navigate on grass and bumpy surfaces.
I was constantly stopped by people asking where got it and saying they have never seen such a small chair. I weigh 165 lbs and am 5 feet nine. It’s is a small chair and may not be suitable for tall persons. I also wouldn’t recommend it on travel for older persons because you have to be on top of the surfaces and ramps. But it would probably be ideal for older persons for domestic situations.
Carbon giber is definitely the way to go.

If you're looking for a lightweight convenient mobile chair, look no more!

The primary reason for buying this chair over other "power chairs" is its light weight. 30 pounds with the battery is pretty good and makes my (the caregiver) life so much easier loading and unloading when going places.

That said, there are a couple things. First, the right motor has a little bit of play in it, allowing the chair to move about 3/4 of an inch, while the left motor allows no movement at all.

The other thing is sometimes, the chair will not turn on. The only "fix" we have found is to press the battery level check button on the battery. Unfortunately, my patient cannot reach that button and would be stranded if the malfunction occurred when I am not there.

We would like to obtain a second battery so as to have one fully charged while we use the other, but we cannot find one on the site.
