There are a couple of things against it. Firstly, they no longer manufacture my wheelchair. Which makes kind of sense I suppose. My Nippy is small, for wheelchairs that is, which means that she can be used on public transport. She has very good maneuverability (I can turn her on a five pence piece). She has a goodly range which is essential in such a hilly area as Brighton and the brakes on her are instant. Another essential ... especially when you are trundling around in a pedestrian area with people always cutting across. Secondly, I haven't £300.00 never mind £500.00 ...
But, and here is the real value in having a decent wheelchair repair service, they may be able to fix my current control box; given that I got her dried out as soon as possible and therefore have hopefully limited the extent of the damage. It will still cost between £100.00 to £200.00 and I will just have to hope that it is closer to the £100.00 ... I've been saving up towards the time when the batteries needed to be renewed so can use that and just pray that my batteries will last just a little while longer.
I have a spare brand new (with receipt) batteries 12 v 10amh , for an electric wheelchair or can be used on small mobility scooters! I also now have a Spare mobility scooter! as I no longer go out I actually have two not being used ! I have no qualms on loaning whichever is more suited to your needs! I would hate to see anyone stuck when there is something that can be done to help ! and as you were there when I needed help I see no reason why I cant return the favour ! we all fall out at some stage ! and I am offering the hand of Friendship! it is now up to you either call and say no ta or say "When can I collect"!!! ball is in your court now Mims all the best hope to hear from you soon Dell
