-Turn Speed Min: The turn speed min parameter defines the minimum turn speed of the power chair when the speed
potentiometer is at its minimum position and when giving a turn input greater than the center deadband, but not less.
# The settings for this parameter range from 5%—100%.
-Turn Speed: The turn speed parameter defines the highest speed of the power chair when the speed potentiometer is at
its maximum position and when giving a full left or right input. When the speed potentiometer is between its minimum and
maximum position, the achievable speed is linearly scaled between this parameter and a predefined low value.
# The settings for this parameter range from 5%—100%.
–Speed Turn Rate Min: The speed turn rate min parameter defines the highest turn speed of the power chair when the
speed potentiometer is at its minimum position amd when giving a turn input greater than the center deadband, but not less.
# The settings for this parameter range from 5%—100%.
–Speed Turn Rate: The speed turn rate parameter defines the highest turn speed for the power chair when the speed
potentiometer is at its maximum position and when giving a turn input greater than the center deadband, but not less.
# The settings for this parameter range from 5%—100%.
–Turn Sensitivity: The turn sensitivity parameter defines the sensitivity of turns when moving the joystick in the left and
right direction. A higher value represents a stronger reaction when giving steering commands.

Fine tune the TORQUE setting. That adds extra torque only at small stick movements, to aid turning and thresholds. It actually adds extra motor compensation, at small stick movements or low speed as you start to turn or move. So set high it makes the chair jumpy when you first touch the stick, left/right/forwards/back. So reducing it makes it smoother and more "soft" feeling.
And what does it feel like if you set forward acceleration high?
And min forward acceleration high?
Test and let me know.
So embarrassing... I think I was struggling with bunny-hopping steering because I waved the joystick around too much by only touching the base! BM you hit the nail on the head. What a speed queen, I can't deal with 6mph. That was because my Vienna is 4mph max.
They may not have been physically ABLE to do the sort of brace hand on pod technique that you quite properly recommend... At least that is the case with many of the quads that I know personally.
(Although at least some MIGHT do better if they had more competent help setting up their stick positions, and better programming might also give some benefit....)

As it is on your image, it will never hit a doorway.
