Everything I have seen looks too good to be true or remains very heavy.
I look foward to your responses

If the batteries not lasting as long as other kinds is the biggest drawback, to me that's a reasonable tradeoff for something so light that folds so small so easily. I don’t have access to an accessible vehicle and I will be travelling.
Unless there's some other major flaw with this design that I'm missing, I'm ok with a battery I'll need to replace sooner in return for something that's so easy to put in a car.

squid wrote:Hi! Haven't flown with it yet, hopefully soon. In general with lithium batteries I believe you have to take them on board with you separately. My girlfriend has a similar folding power chair and they made her check it at the door of the plane. I think they'd make you do the same with the PW-1000XL.
