I can only write reviews and detailed info on chairs I know well or own. There are thousands of different ones and worse they all have different versions and options, and they change them and make them worse or better every year! I need users that have some engineering and powerchair knowledge to review their chairs for me. I do very in depth reviews like http://www.powerchair-review.fsnet.co.uk/sunrise-medical-quickie-f55s-f55.htm And http://www.powerchair-review.fsnet.co.uk/USED-f55s-sunrise.htm Or http://www.powerchair-review.fsnet.co.uk/modified-f55s-sunrise.htm 4 very long pages Or the latest ibot http://www.powerchair-review.fsnet.co.uk/ibot-4000-transporter-full-review.htm 6 very long pages I need the same depth of info about everyones chair. But most people dont know enough about them or have the interest to do this. So we are stuck! -- Self explanitory... www.dynamometer-info.co.uk www.nitrous.info www.more-power.info www.wheelchairdriver.com

For those of you who provided resources thank you. For those who decided to chastise me for not using Google. You never bothered to ask if I had tried when you came down on me. All I was asking for was a listing of some product review web sites. Someone was kind enough to provide same. I fully did not expect to be lectured at. As for additional information, I cannot provide it. I was doing a search for a friend who needed something for getting about on cruise ships and at ports of call. We found a few candidates. Once again, thank you to those who provided resources non-judgmentally. As for those misguided others...I think you know what you can do. :-P -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
