5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of kit

J.D.R. · 11 November 2024

Bought for my father who can no longer walk due to dementia and is in a care home. The care home has its own wheelchairs, but these are all small wheeled "transit" models, with solid tyres (typically marketed as "unpunctureable"). The transit chairs are fine indoors but when used outside, the ride over any distance is pretty uncomfortable (especially given the general state of the roads and pavements).The large pneumatic tyres on this Mobiquip all terrain chair make a huge difference when taking my father out - he is much more comfortable and has stopped flinching every time we go over a bad bump. This means that we can go much further afield than before and opens up a lot more possibilities in terms of places we can visit etc.It arrived quickly and the only assembly required is unfolding it and putting on the front foot supports - instructions on this could've been a bit better but I got there fairly quickly. It is quite lightweight and folds up into a really compact shape, so it's fine parked in a corner of his room in the care home - we just use it when we want to take him outdoors. I also found it easier to push than the transit models.For anyone worried about getting punctures in the pneumatic tyres, the outer tyres are pretty thick mountain bike-style ones, which should offer a degree of protection. It also comes with a replacement inner tube and a bicycle pump, which attaches to the underside of the chair. I wasn't expecting that and thought it was a nice touch. For the money, I think this is brilliant value, especially when compared with prices for similar wheelchairs elsewhere. I didn't want to spend a huge amount on the chair because it is not going to be used day to day - only when we want to take my father out.Some reviewers have commented negatively on the little anti-tip wheels at the rear. I haven't found these to be a problem. I haven't got them fully extended so that they rest on the ground - they are one notch up from that (so they are a few centimetres off the ground). I think that is probably enough to stop tipping right back (and in any event, my father isn't able to propel the wheelchair - so there would normally be someone behind it pushing and hopefully able to stop any tip-up). In any event, the wheelchair itself feels pretty stable, so I would think there's a reasonable chance the anti-tip wheels will never actually be needed. The brakes also seem very robust and are effective in stopping wheel movement once fully engaged.

This chair has been a life saver so far. I haven’t used it for long so I cannot speak regarding consistency but overall it’s been amazing so far. The all terrain wheels live up to their name and the anti-tip wheels are a life saver. It is easy to do wheelies in to get over curbs and the anti-tip wheels allow you to get up ramps without fear of falling back. The adjustable armrests allow for a more comfortable position when self propelling and it is also very easy to push. For the price it is an amazing chair. It even comes with a tire pump which attached under the chair and a spare tire inner circle incase of puncture on the go.Could not recommend more.

This is a great wheelchair for the price. It folds up well, so that putting it in the car is not a problem. It is very versatile in that it makes a fairly good self-propelled wheelchair as well as a good transit (pushed by carer) wheelchair. The flip up arm rests are a bonus for some. It is also reassuring that it has anti-tip small wheels at the back, which gave my 13 year old confidence to do 'wheelies" knowing that she couldn't really hurt herself (but great for older customers too who need to tilt the chair to get up kirbs etc). The push/pull handbrakes that can be reached by the wheelchair user work well. The chair also looks super sporty and cool, which is especially great for younger customers. It is comfortable, but it would benefit from the addition of a separate thick cushioned seat, because the original one is quite thin though slightly padded.The only minor complaint I would have is that there are wheelchairs out there that are easier to push/ manoeuvre for users who are in their chair much of the day, everyday, but these come at a different price point altogether. The wheelchair can deal with problematic terrain like cobbled streets (like we have in the old parts of Liverpool city center).All in all, it's a great wheelchair for people who don't need to be self-propelling all day, everyday. Those people might need to go up in price to find their perfect wheelchair, but if their budget limits them to under £450, I bet this is the best one they'll find.

We bought this wheelchair to use for an amputee. This chair is not only sturdy and lightweight but perfect for anyone that is slightly taller. Previous wheelchairs have been a lot lower to the ground causing a poor posture and creating back ache, whereas this one is great for my fiancé as he is over 6ft tall. It's is light and very manoeuvrable for me to push as well as for him to self propel. The cushions are comfortable and the all terrain wheels are great on grass. We are yet to try it on other terrains such as gravel and compacted sand. Would highly recommend for a permanent wheelchair user.

replaced a solid tyre wheelchair. Highly recommend this chair. First time out with it to an arboretum. Mixture of hard unpaved tracks, loose gravel and for good measure pushed it over a few tree roots growing into the pathway. There is no feedback of vibrations through the pushing handles and it took all surfaces with ease and comfort.
