Based on your follow-up, the symptoms suggests an issue with the electromagnetic brake, most likely not fully disengaging, placing drag on the motor, causing both the veering and heating of the motor (and the speed bump was likely just coincidental). I understand that you're in a difficult situation, so I'll appreciate it if you'll please email me your powerchair's serial number and your full contact information to...

Hi, I have a 4000R with high speed motors and love it. I live in Arkansas. I found I have plenty of torque but to each his own. What I'm trying to point out is just what Big24fan said David, try them out. Only you can be the one that is or is not satisfied.

LOL, no Terry he did not. At least I can't find it, lol. But he is sending an armrest cargo bag. You know use ladies need our purses and you know I will use it. That is so nice of him. I did not exspect it at all. How sweat of him. How goes your order, Terry? Is NSM giving you any more trouble with the order? Or is the insurance company still playing around?

Mark, Actually two very informed DME types told me that I could make my 34 pound travelscoot go in reverse with a reverse polarity switch. I love to travel by air but my legs are getting weaker and I need to use my legs to back the travelscoot up. So being the mechanic and scientist I am, I did a google search and went to www.1728.com and learned that one reversed the polarity in an electric motor by using various types of switches. This was...

Glad youre having fun WindJammer. You rock on gal......

Hi Mark. The rep's name is Ralph Appoldt. The provider is Care Medical, Salem, Oregon, branch; the name of the tech who has been working on my chair is Eric. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.

Mark, I think she is asking if the flow if electricity is reversed when when you back up your scooter. Bob

Hi Mark, I've been a fairly silent member of WJ for years now (under 2 names). I value your opinion and integrity when commenting on finding the right chair. After over 38 years using a chair, I know me pretty well. I'm getting ready to get a new power chair and my vendor likes the R4000. I saw one in the store. I use an Invacare Arrow right now (about 6 years); previously a quickie p300. My question for you is: from your viewpoint...

David, I might be able to give you a little insight on this matter. I used a Ranger-X (about the same as an Arrow) for about 9 years before I got a Q6000. The Q6K didn't suit my needs at all because it just wasn't as good outdoors in steep loose terrain as my Ranger. After about a year, circumstances allowed me to get another chair and I decided to go with the R4000. The R4K suites me much better than the Q6K and is quite similar to...

Mark after several months my provider's tech returned to my house yesterday to make some adjustments to my chair. While he was here he mentioned the reminder settings for my chair. I had actually forgotten about the issue and decided it was never going to work for me. The tech said the problem now is that the company (A&A Home Health) doesn't want to buy the new programmer that is required to setup the reminder features. The...
