I have had contact from Sunrise in Ontario and they tell me a Q500 R is available in North America , but don't know when the Q700 R will be available

I have no good options for RWD Chairs.
i get it and i agree - to try -
would be helpful to have real help who is thinking on the same page also - then you make a basic plan - get the tools needed and try it
you have to accept the facts also - it can work - it may not work - or your not able to do it - if all goes to waste - or takes a year etc,
as long as you accept the possible outcomes - its fine
like gambling - the chances are your goin to loose - if it bothers you that much - or you cant afford to loose what you gamble - dont gamble
if your OK with loosing - then you have a chance -
buying from the UK - would be an option - but not many will for one big reason - insurance - money - most dont have the money to buy one outright - with seat lift - tilt etc, -
then the fitting - you have to make sure - at least get close as you can fitting wise size etc, - then make minor adjustments
Shipping - and repairs - that would all be out of pocket for someone - not cheap - not many can afford that - and if some can - may not want to invest when you can get it free -
if it came down to NO RWD chairs here - which is very close to that now - the best option would be to reverse seatting -
if you have a few backups already - you wont need to rush to do it - and it may actually work out in the end - you get the free chair and do the work yourself -
i rather hire a tech and do it that way - if all planned out what needs to be done - maybe a few weekends and done -
i wonder how the 500H would ride if moving the seat all the way back
bigger tires in the rear to lift it - air tires all around - dosnt look that bad of a chair - at least can get 8mph motors still
i wish the V4 RWD could go 8mph
