Originally I intended to build this MK2 Ultimate
true Indoor & Outdoor Powerchair just for my own use.

Timeline
I did it because there is simply no commercial alternative that even comes close
in indoor and outdoor ability / size / finish / build quality.
Unless you know better?

The
powerchair we are talking about is
here
(Part 1

However so many people have emailed me to say that its exactly what they need
(no surprise there then) and did I sell them? Well no
not really.
|
|
I am not a manufacturer, I don't have the backing, the
machining capability, or the "team" that do development, research, or to
organise spares or look at "safety" issues. I am simply interested in ability.
And a powerchair that doesn't get in the way. I just work in a "bedroom" for my own benefit to make what
I need but cannot buy. I don't have the buying power to get things cheaply, or
the funds to build anything other than one component at a time.
I rely on external services for welding, machining, powder
coating etc. My designs and modifications may not be safe (whatever that means)
for all users.
That said there is a group of hardcore powerchair users out there that claim
they want what I have built and could I build them one... Well I might.
|
|
|
But its not worth the
effort to build just one as many of the parts are "one off" components. This
means expense getting them manufactured. Mine were almost free because I did it
myself. But that is just too labour intensive, so I will farm out these jobs in
small batches. And I am considering building a
batch of ten (10) of these "ultimate" powerchairs for the right users
with the right attitude. At a cost of £10,000 UK Pounds.
This will not include any
warranties or any fault repair even if the thing falls in half and leaves you to
be crushed under a bus!
I am not a manufacturer and not a business and don't want to
be one. If you are the type of person that loves warranties and someone
else to accept all the responsibility for you then look elsewhere!
|
If you just want the best chair
that you can get
You will also be required to sign a disclaimer to remove
any responsibility from me no matter what happens to it or you! So once
bought you are on your own. I will not sell these things to safety Nazis...
I will obviously help you with parts or modifications if I possibly can but
I have no spares department! Many of the parts are available from a variety
of sources anyway... Later on page.
They will not be built unless I get
10 (£5000) deposits (all ten deposits). Once I have these, then over
the next few (say 6) months I will build a batch of them the same as the one I
already use now every day. With the same care and attention to detail.
Frankly I doubt I will get a single deposit! Which is fine by me. But its just
not viable to do one at a time.
Once ready then I expect the remainder to be paid by the time
they are collected by the respective owners. And in any case within 2 months of
my having them ready and finished. If not then your deposit will be lost
and I will sell your powerchair to someone else via eBay... I don't have the
room or money to spare here.

What could you expect?
Check out the page three of the ultimate powerchair page.
Ultimate indoor/outdoor powerchair
and then read the 2 preceding pages, as well as the
original powerchair pages. there are 6 of them. And you will have
an idea of why this chair is just better than all the rest!
Then:
- All new 120 amp per channel (240 amp total) control system - the newest
R-Net system by Penny & Giles.
|
- Lights - contact to discuss. These above are sunrise rear lights. No
front lights fitted. These are NON WORKING as no lighting actuator is
fitted. On yours It can be fitted, as can front lights. Your choice.
- All new Sunrise Medical Upholstery
- All new fabricated complete centre section and motor mounting/battery tray etc.
- All new
fabricated footplate (no swing away ones)
- All new alternative wheels and tyres and front casters
- All new 4 pole 6mph EMD Motors (same as the latest Sunrise F55s powerchair)
- All new wiring loom and battery cables
- All new bearings etc (in stainless steel)
- All new alternative stainless steel fasteners
- All new
fabricated adjustable seat mounting plates
- Choice of either the tyres shown above (4 ply, used with or without
tubes, and filled with tyre seal) or puncture resistant "pavement" tyres.
Total width is 25.25 or 26.5 depending on tyre choice.
- Choice of GEL (MK 73 Amp Hour) or AGM Hawker Odyssey 65 Amp Hour
batteries. Gel = more cycles. AGM = more torque and power and fast charging... I use AGM.
- User seat angle and footrest height configured to suit on collection.
Can be altered a little later on by user or needs different length bars
making.
- Seat depth is best at the current 18 inches. less is possible only by
compromising c of g and moving user forwards.
- Tilt seat possible, easily at extra. cost. Its easy to do but adds weight and
expense.
If you are truly interested and don't mind waiting then send me your
deposits! I will keep them until I have 10 deposits. The time this may take is
unknown. After 10 deposits are received I will build 10 powerchairs. Deposits
are returnable if you get fed up waiting! (Any refund charges are not included). Until I get all ten and start
building them. After that time they are non refundable. Since I am
using F55s & F55 donor powerchairs here this price includes me acquiring them on
your behalf. This can be a slow process. If you provide the donor chair then
that means £1000 off the total price since it saves me driving all over the
country finding one.
On these terms I don't really expect to get any deposits. But I am not a
manufacturer and its not viable to build less than 10 at a time and I don't have
that amount of money laying around! So that's how it has to be.
Nothing stops anyone doing it much cheaper in a bedroom at home as I did 3
times!
