Do you have pictures? I haven’t had much of a chance to investigate any of the details. It looks newer than 10 years, I’m only going by the people I got it from.terry2 wrote:I have got the Sedeo Seating on my Puma 40. It's very comfi and waterproof.

Have you had many problems with your motors? Good to know! I’m not using my legs but I still need my kidneys!

It’s quick release and I can just swap it between my chairs.i could just see if there’s a sedeo Backrest that would suit me. The sedeo system is quite impressive with its ease of adjustability.
This chair has 6mp motors is currently in FWD, I really like that it’s reversible. It has the swing away leg rests but they’re powered. They appear to be kinda flimsy though. I plan to test it as FWD, I’ve only ever had RWD chairs. It has a power tilt with elevation, which I’ve been wanting to try out an elevating seat. It’s r-net but only a 90A controller. It has really skinny wheels and tires though which I’d definitely have to change if I end up using it.
Im in Canada too, so availability of some stuff might be more complicated/expensive to ship. I’ll look through the order form and check with my OT see if I can get a Backrest and not modify anything.rover220 wrote:http://www.sunrisedice.com/asset-bank/assetfile/32780.pdf

Several big name chairs I've seen recently look pretty much identical to earlier Chinese offerings too, as if companies are just sourcing complete chairs from China and up-badging them, rather than the Chinese version being the knock-off copy.

As for oddball chinese chairs, they are what they are.

Basically right - if you look into it, there are only a few makers for motors, chair control systems, actuators, and so on... So the chair makers are all getting their major parts from the same few places, many Chinese, some other countries....
The individual manufacturers may design their own frames and brackets, possibly a seating setup (unless they get the seats from the same few companies that make seats for the auto industry, which is likely on scooters and the less fancy power chairs) but everything that bolts onto them is coming from the same few suppliers
