Ken & Kendall: Well, you two were the only replies! I bought both (Jet 2 & Ranger II) power chairs, though I've only used the Jet 2 so far. So I can't compare it to anything but scooters. Mt impressions: - tho more maneuverable than a scooter, that same maneuverability has caused scars on every door in my house & most of the walls! The Jet 2 has too many projections that scratch or catch on things, compared to my Rascal. - the chair is super quiet indoors (much to my dog's chagrin). - the footplate means it's hard to keep my feet on it (the toes stick out anyway), when tone kicks in & I go spastic my feet go off the plate & stick out in front of me. (My Rascal has a front 'shroud' & a rim around the floorboard, so my feet can't97 go anywhere.) I'm going to get some tips from friends who use power chairs, but for now my only advice is to keep the speed down. BOB __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
