I have previously owned an electric chair and must say the 7000 is superior and extremely well constructed. Travels over stone driveways ,grass, and even into my camp area in the woods with ease. Up hills and down beautiful auto braking systems. The front footrest and the back wheel locking switches are easily accessible while still in the chair. Foot rest comfortably lifts and tucks away for getting in and out of the chair. The arms are long enough and sturdy enough to boost yourself out of the chair. This is a blessing and makes for a safe and steady exit. The chair even looks classy to boot.
