[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

The chair is only 25 inches wide, but is a little longer then a regular chair. 
It needs a lottle room to get lined up with the steps before you go up or 
down.  It is suppose to work on most any step surface, including over carpet, 
as long as it is well tacked down.  It might wear the bottem step carpet edge 
out without a corner cover becouse often one grip on the track slips when 
going up the stairs.  
Well, for those reading, I have findly learned to let up on the joy stick just 
 as the EZ device startes to tip the chair down the steps.  Makes for a little 
less thrilling ride, thank God!
Regards, John
