The chair I currently use is an Electric Mobility, and must say that I have
not been at all pleased with it.  Doesn't seem like it has held up the way
I thought it would considering it costs about the same as a small car.  I have
been looking at some others, but so far the only other ones I have seen are the
Braun, one my Amiga, and another model from Electric Mobility.

The Braun was a little inconvenient, as the tiller had to be removed in order
to easily mount the chair.  It was an older model a dealer had as a demo unit.
It had plenty of power, which is important to me, as I live in the
country and like to take an evening "walk" around the place with the little
wife.

The Amiga is very similar to the chair I currently use, and although it is
not quite as expensive, I have read some poor reviews on the chair concerning
it's performance, longevity, and support.

Electric Mobility had sent me a new model on approval, but they hadn't gotten
all the bugs work out of it, and was dissatisfied.
