I've had an E&J Premier 3-P and hated the slipping belts. Next I had the Explorer. I like the power the direct drive offers but have burned out the chair three times. These problems are probably due to my weight. I'm 6'3" and weigh about 220. I've read the hype over the Permobile and called the company for a brocure. Does anyone own a Permoble and is willing to discuss the chair with me. Its best to get first hand oppions on such matters, wouldn't you agree? \/ Squire \/ /\ Jim /\ -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!272!21!Jim.Sherwin Internet: Jim.Sherwin@f21.n272.z1.fidonet.org
