I recently bought the Phoenix because I need assistance in walking longer distances. Big box stores became impossible for me to walk to my CIDP disease.
I have ridden it around the neighborhood a few times and also went to Costco with it. It handled both jobs well and barely used any of the batteries' capacity.
The two batteries give you so much distance that I'm confident I will have much more than enough for anything I will be doing. At my current rate I will only need to charge every week or two.
It is also easier than other wheelchairs to load into a vehicle since it is so lightweight. I'm sure I will get better at loading and unloading it as time goes on. I looked at a few other chairs that were 45 to 50 lbs and I would really hate to have to load something that heavy regularly. I'm sure I would throw my back out doing that.
I am very happy with the purchase and look forward to many years of use with it.
