I need to get a new one soon but I've been using the Quickie Q7 for the last 8 years but apparently it's been discontinued. I hate when they do that shit. Getting used to a new wheelchair model is like riding a different brand bike. I went to using hard tires a few years ago it's been awesome. Never need to fill them with air, rolls smooth, and super durable. If I can get a CF chair that would be fking awesome I love that stuff too.

Check these guys out if you're looking for a carbon fiber chair.

Company out of Quebec. I've seen one in person. Really well made.

Not sure where you're located in California, but there's several dealers that carry them.

Sweet dude I'm gonna check them out. That chair looks awesome and I need a new one real soon. Looks like a dealer is only 20 min away from me. Not sure how much insurance will cover, usually anything "high performance" or lightweight they tell me isn't a necessity so they won't pay which is bs.

That chair still looks modern and your cat looks like my cat. Grinning 19 years old. Damn, he had long life.

I'm in a TiLite ZRA. Might get a new chair this year. I don't know yet. Have to look at my options.

Like ProKawi I also run solid tires. I was tired of getting flats all the time so I made the switch. I can't really complain about them. That said it seems like I could get the air filled one's to be firmer. Pro's and con's, I guess.

Yeah 4" soft rolls for me. I used to run the "Froggy Legs" years ago but they were heavy and the cushion they provided slowed me down too much. I just want the lightest chair possible that rolls the quickest, I don't care about a "smooth, comfortable" ride I just want less strain on my arms and something easier to load into my truck when I drive somewhere.

4" soft roll. The only thing I don't like about my current setup is that it's a 2 sided fork so it's always getting full hair and other shit and constantly needs to be cleaned out.

The newer model is a one sided fork which I think would solve that problem.

Not my chair, but that's the 1 sided fork I'm talking about.

Yeah I have to take apart/clean mine out every couple weeks, cat hair tends to grip to them like a magnet.

They make new caster bushings that dont trap the hair, I dont have them, but have seen them, I dig the one sided forks.

Thanks to the Australian tax payers and the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) I'm hopefully getting a ZRA titanium thing with the one sided forks but way less purple than that particular one haha Also my physio is trying to talk them into getting me one of these Batec Scrambler things which I trialed and was plenty skeptical of them before I had a go but they are the fucken goods should be able to get me around the farm a bit which will be awesome! It's got a Quad option where the whole handlebars push down for go and forward to brake

Yeah it's got so much torque, loose or wet surfaces bring it unstuck but that's to be expected with it being front wheel drive but they say it'll do 30km/hr 20ish/mph on the road haha

Looks similar to this setup. You can get it with dual suspension in the back.

Yeah the one I'm getting looks a little easier to hook up haha but that one looks a little more serious and can get you a little closer to back to the glory days! haha

Yeah, there's quite a few of us on here in wheelchairs. Me, OCScottie, ProKawi, Jemcee, and I know there's more. I know there's one that goes by HandicapMX as well.

I love barcia's style on a bike, it'd be sick to see an edit in the hills.
