Could well be. Although he said permobil. But that was in the title so may be just search bait. UK source. Not that US guy that the other bits came from. The inhibit bits look the same. And it came with a allow mounting bracket not shown.
In a month or two I will be looking for a sunrise seat, lift tilt recline unit, if you find one! Missed one on ebay recently due to a shortage of cash...
Any sign of the the bus cables? Looking forwards to testing my new permobil 120A power module to see if its been permobiled... I suspect there wont be an issue. If there is then I am after an OEM permobil programmer or it will go on the bay. Need to make a spare chair that saves my bum. Maybe fit it to a BM2 rebuild.

Isnt their stability module just the usual PG one?

i wish everyone was as sensbile as you. i supplied a new sunrise q700m to a chap with a chin control and he was adamant he didnt want a harness mounted joystick. he now complains the joystick is not sturdy enough and moves around relative to his chin position when he is using the chair. he also wont use a harness making the issue worse

Talking to wheelchair companies many don't understand and keep trying to sell powered swing away mounts. They have no idea how useless that is. If you read BM's set up threads the first thing is hand position and solid base. It is no different with chin control only it is impossible to achieve so you find the next best thing and 1/2 inch bar 1m long with a heavy joystick definitely isn't it! I don't understand why your customer doesn't trial it, there are a number of options depending upon how you want the harness to fit. I have Switch It hoop around neck and Ottobock chest with straps over shoulders. Mo Vis multi joystick on adjustable sliding quick release to easily swap. Also got a QR on top of backrest and joystick slides in to be used as an attendant control no need for a costly second joystick. That is from 6 years like this and wanting to have a chair I could use individual to me but it isn't really most high level tetraplegics should probably have a similar setup.
I should of added get a chest harness to stop upper body slumping, he will never enjoy driving his chair slumped out of the side struggling to reach the joystick as it bounces around

I wanted to look at specs and tech details to see if a single centre footrest, was an option, and if they had grp24 batts/4 pole/6mph/rnet 120 options. And a price. Their website seems to want to tell you nothing useful and send you off to a useless dealer. So I cant buy one!

Where are all the details, options, prescription forms, tech info, prices, with various configs, etc. How can I even consider if its suitable if I cant find anything out about them?
My friend subsequently opened battery box and found 62AH batteries. Evidently they quote c5 rather than c20 rate.
