Power glide
Got for my husband recently as he's too heavy for me to push in an ordinary wheelchair.
Strengths
Saves a lot of effort of pushing as all l have to do is guide the wheelchair and steer.
Weaknesses
Have to use in on flat surfaces, can't go up even a centimeter curb...it stops and takes ages to restart! Also battery is extremely heavy!!

great on smooth surfaces
i was banking a lit on this gadget to take my mum out and about especially in the countryside but it proved to be a real disappointment. as in smooth surfaces it goes well but as for rough terrain as I have to push hard it really defeats the purpose im not sure i will keep it.
Strengths

Weaknesses
wont go uphill nor on uneven terrain

Power Glide
I fitted the item to an Airex LT transit chair, but found that amount of intrusion backwards made control difficult. I then moved it forward on the frame. I am myself disabled, but the chair is for my wife, who has mobility problems. I feel I must relate a possible problem regarding control. when going up a slope. over enthusiastic use of forward motion, caused the chair to tip backward, and drop my wife to the ground, and myself to fall over as I failed to prevent it. It is essential, that anti tip wheels be fitted to the rear of the chair. I have not been able to obtain these from Care Co.
