It drives so sweeetly too. At high speed the steering is so sensitive, immediate and precise and not mushy n time delayed as u remember it.

I told u (n showed u) Invacare have completely re-designed it since those pics were taken. Why Invacare still use that type of sales bumff n those pics, god only knows!

U did test the type in these pics, which is now obsolete. (Cars change year by year. So a car model might be deemed as crap in 2011/12 but might be good in 2013/14!)
That link, still uses the old Storm 4 pics. It doesn't look like that now. Invacare have said that they need to update that bumff.
If u are a heavier wheelchair user, u will effect the c of g and the handling, quite dramatically, (unless it is adjustable. Which it isn't on the Storm 4.) bringing the c of g up n forward quite a bit. Making the chair very 'nose heavy.'
If I was heavier and as u can't adjust the c of g, I must admit, I think I would have had probs with this chair. It is 'obviously' for the lighter wheelchair user.
Maybe, as the site administrator, you should take down your post/review on the Storm 4, as that is now obsolete and also your comments on this post/review, just leaving the one's about wheelchairs in general.

If the user is a lightweight, the CG may not be so terribly far forward, but with someone as heavy as John (CG of a seated person is about 1.5" ahead of the belly button) it will shift a long way forward. It really does look like it needs a movable seat mount to adjust it for different weight users.

>>> YOU, obviously don't read. Which also defies logic and basic physics!(Altho I am not quite sure how physics plays a part in human nature!)
