For customers that have difficulties to control the fingers or hand in fine tune manner, we can customize a chin control unit. And for the trunk control, I would say we might need to customize another special cross shape seat belt, carer push handles etc. On the other hand, I think you can look into our PW-800AX on our official website of wheelchair88 . We are launching a new version of this model, which is easier to add on accessories, and easier for the carer to assist.

My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him. It is rather narrow compared with US-manufactured chairs, so I think that helps in his case and possibly would for you. Also, if it were really an issue, I suppose you could use some kind of strap around our chest to hold you to the seatback. The benefits of this chair compared with all the other chairs out there on the market would outweigh whatever issues your minimal trunk control presents, which I would imagine would be a factor with any other chair out there that doesn't have an inbuilt strapping system. Hope that helps. My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him.

I'm not sure. There is no strap or seatbelt with the chair. Also the back of the chair is low, it doesn't provide support for your upper back/shoulders. I hope this info helps you decide. I would also say don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer - they were very helpful when I ordered my chair and had some questions.

This chair has been great for my father. It is light enough that I can take it in and out of the vehicle myself. The chair is not for a large or real tall person. My father is around 170 - 178# and 5'6 tall. He would not be comfy in it all day but is good for an outing to the mall but not to sit in all day.

Jim I have found the chair to be fast and comfortable however if you need a chest or lapse drop I don't believe this unit is equipped with that you would have to make your own arrangements also if you do not have use of a right or left and I'm not sure what modifications can be set up for mouth controls. This is a question that is best answered by the staff of wheelchair 88.com

I think so providing you don't have overhead obstructions such as eves, etc. If I remember right there are videos on the net showing various intallations. Check 'em out.

Tight with rear seat down!!! Good with seat up or use hammock plus some other cover to fully cover back area

That's what I bought for mine but i would not buy it again: the chair is too low so you're bumping your behind against the frame when you're in there (not too hard to fix this but it requires you to be creative and lower the strings on your chair).

It does not seem to be a problem. We have had guests using the chairs at the dinner table and also in a casual setting. I have sat on them as well and did not find the back uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I honestly don't think weight is an issue if you are confident you have a secure attachment. On the other hand, as you increase weight you decrease the displacement ratio which may impact comfort.

Michael, your legs would definitely hang over ! You might want to get an extension for the leg rest, do not know if this is an option.

I would considered addressing the issue with you dealership, because if you have airbags built within the seats, it my cause problems. Just consider the matter!

Don't really know abou that particular use of the seat. I'd worry about keeping it in place.

Unless you have back problems as I do you would probably enjoy this bike with the seat as it is. It just so happens the design strikes me right in the lower lumbar area in the very spot where rods were inserted a few years ago. My answer for the problem was to simply put a small pillow at a higher point on the back so it prevents contact with the seat back. Works fine. I might add; over the years I have used recumbent bikes (and other equipment) in gyms and find this one well worth the cost I paid. I expect many years of use.

Yes. You will sit slightly higher than average, but it does not affect motion.

You wouldn't be able to lock your legs under the machine's padded rests because of the angle the cable comes down. It would be rubbing against your head/neck

I have not had that issue at all with this chair. And I spend way too much time in front of the computer. :)

With both the seat and backrest all the way down there is still a slight incline but it's so slight that it doesn't affect the exercise. In my opinion, not a problem.

You wouldn't be comfortable because of the hard plastic pieces on the back. Sometimes they bother me when I am reclining. Give it a try and find out for yourself how it feels.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.

Might be a little tight in back seat . Trunk would work good with tie downs I just had a new Satilite install.plenty of room on the shelf.
