the other difference is that battery box - on my chairs - you have to remove the top seating to get to the battery box - these chairs you dont which is nice
but other than that - i rather get a quickie P222se chair over this amysystem - i also heard they are working on a lithium package -
they killed it by adding those casters in the rear -

Its so tippy that I am afraid to fully tilt.

Tilt, and if it has lift/recline aso, then do all 3 simultaniously while an assistant is threre. But do it while reversed up to a bed. So that you can safely test stability. If it tips over, as my own modified Salsa chair does, then you just tip about 2 feet and it sits against the bed.
If it doesent tip, have the assistant pull the chair backwards carefully, to see how much effort is required to get an idea on how safe or how likely it is to tip over. If it takes 15 or more lb you are safe. If it takes less, then reprogram it so that it doesent allow as much recline, or tilt. Or do that so it just restricts you only when the lift is used or whatever safe mix is best. Again this all needs an OEM programmer. And then remember that this applies to level surfaces only!

In my own chair, I moved the seat back, and so am responsible for the danger. But you have got to know, regardless. Or one day you will do tilt/recline/tilt, and it mat tip back over. Best to test. I trust nobody!
Burgerman wrote:Yes but WHAT are we measuring?
I am guessing at seat?
If so, then I dont think anyone would notice 6mm. Adjust seat tilt base setting, and lose or gain an inch. Change front tyre type or pressure, and it will change as much as that. Even tyre wear. Remove the seat base plate, save 4 or 5mm.
"Amy Systems I noticed that they speced a flared front caster feature to make room for the center mount foot platform. I spoke with them and they told me that it is a necessary mod to get the power platform. They also told me that it would not widen or lengthen the chair. "
what exactly is that?they speced a flared front caster feature
