PMV - Personal Mobility Vehicle Review Site?
in [Wheelchairs]
|
From: Brian K on 8 Jul 2007 19:40 I've looked in Consumer Reports and didn't find much. Is there a web site that reviews the various motorized wheel chairs and scooters? Is there also someplace that tells what to look for in purchasing a PMV? Thanks. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

Then go out and find, evaluate and test lots of chairs after you have narrowed down whats possible, what works, whats good (and whats not! like front/mid drive...) what you need and what you like. Then after you think you know ask again here with your choice and your requirements and see if any of us have any ideas or problems?

I also tried variations as well as "Personal Transport Vehicle". Google dropped the ball with this one. Sure there were TONS of listings. But they weren't focused and I don't have the time to go paging through hundreds of pages that aren't on point.

Don't expect people here to do your research for you. If you don't know how to narrow down your Google search, maybe you're in over your head as far as net research is concerned. Google didn't drop the ball; you are just unnable to play the game. |
