Lifestand LSC.

This is a stand up wheelchair. When stood up this achieves a very straight leg instead of the Z shape many stand up wheelchairs produce. Standing up is a very smooth action, and the independent reclining of the backrest keeps you balanced better, when you are involved in various activities such as taking pictures, if you are a high lesion like myself. The arm rests uniquely lift up and swivel, creating not so much as a chest restraint, but a barrier you can lean on to stop you falling forward, but most of the time you don’t need it. While you are stood up you are able to drive around in the wheelchair, but only on a flat surface. There are also two solid knee restraints, to keep your legs straight when standing.
The wheelchair drives lovely, with a good top speed 8k/h. The various speed settings makes it infinitely manoeuvrable. The knee height is good, and the positioning of the wheels mean if it’s a lot easier than most chairs I have used for getting in and out of places, especially under tables and such in restaurants.
The joystick has a blue button, pressing the button five times achieves five different speeds. Pressing the red button, and then using the joystick, enables you to 1. Stand a wheelchair up and sit down. 2. Move the back rest. There are two indicator switches, which if you hold the left hand down turns the lights on the front.
The wheelchair charger plugs into the front of the joystick. It takes about 2 ½/3 hours for a full charge. The LSC can run up to 8 km / h and can drive 15kms with autonomy is 2 hours about. gel dry cell batteries 4 batteries FIAMM cyclic FGC21803. I went away on holiday, and was using the wheelchair quite a lot, and the new batteries were dead within three months. This is the poorest aspect of the wheelchair, even with very low usage; they’re only last about 14 months.
The dimensions are, the width of the wheelchair at the back from the outside of the tires (the widest point) is 69 cm. The length of my wheelchair from my anti-tippers touching the door to my toes is 112 cm. Seat base 46 cm long, and 43 cm wide. The weight 90 kg. tyre 200 x 50 front tyres
rear tyres maker's name Vanonni 4PR tube tyre 300-8 maximum load 350 1a-2804-4
I really liked the wheelchair. I like the look of it, I did have the pushing handles cut off, mostly from aesthetic reasons.
