i see - its very close - hard to tell but i can see it - - all this time - i would have never known - that settles it - i been using an Hybrid for a decade without knowing -
i never heard of the term Hybrid for wheelchairs till a few years ago with amysystem chair - till then - i never knew one existed -
MWD FWD RWD - all i knew - under sunrise here - the 6x6 and P222 chairs are under the RWD section - always have been - and never once you seen the word Hybrid -
how would one know giving that info. i knew i never liked the anti tippers on the chair - but i got them off the ground and that satisfied me enough - the rest of the chair is great - no wonder they were giving me a hard time to get them off the ground - they didnt want to do it
so tell me this now - is the P222se chair also an hybrid - or would that be a RWD ?
all i ever had was quickie chairs - P220 - P222se - same chair just faster - then 646 and 636 with the HS motors - and bounder -
the chair in stock form - i was able to get up the steeper hills without an issue or tipping back - front end lifted just a bit - in stock form
the chair became more unstable on hills after i changed to the tires which lifted it up higher - and moved the seat back a notch -
overall it feels better this way to me for about 95% of the time - its only when i run into steeper hills which it then is not as good and too tippy feeling -
i rather have it good 95% of the time and deal with the hills - i avoid the ones that i feel are too steep - sometimes i find other ways around it - but sometimes in parks etc, a few i went - i didnt like it much - i am not able to fully go everywhere because of the shorter base and larger tires
so this settles it then - i have a hybrid
our choices of RWD are getting worse and worse - i though sunrise was the best and now not so sure - if they dont bring a RWD here -
they are off the list - i dont count the Rival - its RWD but dont like it at all - invacare - never had one - dont like that either - no Rnet - no motor option -
only sunrise has a motor option that i know off - that leaves V4 RWD only chair left - i am glad i got my 636 now -
makes no sense to me - if a true RWD 500R - or what ever its called - is more stable - longer base - why not bring it here and forget the hybrid - why would anyone choose a H over the R model ?
in the city i dont feel limited with the short base - only on steeper hills - i have to watch out -
the only way to be more stable now with my chairs are to use stock size tires and have the anti tippers on the ground - i wont be doing it so i have to just watch the hills
i been using my chairs this way for over 6 years - the chair i got stuck with was the P222se on hill - thats a very light end - lifts easy
6x6 chairs - i have to ride the hill on the anti tippers which dosnt feel that safe - i avoid doing that if i can help it
no wonder the seating on these things are moved forward more - i will still move it back a notch on the new chair next week and try it that way for some time -
i want a RWD chair now -
