The terrain course is set up and run by TGA mobility, not Naidex, so when they saw me gliding round as if the pathetic obstacles weren't even there, they asked me to leave. grrrrr.

Supposed to offer better control with adaptive motor load compensation etc. Well its rubbish. Take it fom me, a chair with the old pilot plus, or even the R-net system, with 100 or 120A power module is at least 10x more accurate and controllable if correctly configured with an OEM programmer. Dont believe the hype. Its just like all the rest. With crap loads of turn acceleration/deceleration delay etc. You cant hit a spot at the dining table, and a doorway is more "hold your breath and pray", than relaxed intuitive steering. And the thing hadnt enough Amps to turn in place properly on the edge of a ramp or heavy carpet. Run away!

I have the rear wheels made in the UK now and use tubes with the tubless tyre, this enables the tyre to be used at the correct pressure without the risk of being knocked off the side wall when hitting a curb or door frame, with the addition of sealant it's almost impossible for the tyre to go down.
No centre caps as they were to be fitted, this is not an advertising photo, it was just for my reference really.
The arm- pad base has been upgraded to 5mm thick alumnium now, which combined with the arm-pad sponge assembly, is easily strong enough to bear anyone's weight.
So yes, all problems have been ironed out, next is developing the chair and making improvement upon improvement, and some innovations, I'm not sure there is a market for the chair to be mass produced, time will tell, I am extremely happy with how things are going as is, so long may it continue!

Yes hegar, with several small grooves where the bead seats, they are (very) difficult to get on and off (totally) without a proper bead breaker, but they can loose air when forced against a door frame or curb by an in-experienced user.
