Smart drive sounds like it been a nightmare glad you have found another mobility solution for you. Hope it lasts longer too! I just had to buy two new wheelchairs because after two years they broke.
It was great, when it worked. From experience, there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies in each of the elements - bluetooth worked better on some push trackers than others, buttons felt different, etc. I suspect this was the bracket issue. Frustrating, as I didn't have a problem with the bracket on the demo unit I had on loan. One of the appeals to the bike is that they're designed for far more rugged use than mine will ever get and the battery is external so won't require anywhere near the level of work that the SmartDrive would have to replace the battery. So frustrating that some wheelchairs and power add ons just aren't built to last a reasonable amount of time. It's awful that you're having to replace both chairs and that they've not lasted as they should. I hope you're able to get something(s) that will serve you better. It's not good enough. Xx
I've gone through three now dead " smart" drives . About 20% of the time I ask it to stop it ignores me . Would you get in a car with brakes that refuse stomping on the pedal 20$ of the time . I have regrettably plowed into unsuspecting people at times . Ali baba has many options for the trailers you ended up with . Some not that much $ . I myself cut an ebike in half and mounted it on the back ,paired with a free wheel that I love ( and hate) I go 20 mph , sometimes 30 downhill giving me what pleasure I get in this limited life of disability .
I'm glad you've found a solution that works for you. I've been shocked by how many people have had problems with their SmartDrives, since getting mine. They should be flawless for the money they cost.
They're not sunglasses, they're precision tinted lenses (coloured glasses), They help with my photosensitivity, complex chronic migraine, photosensitivity and visual processing disorder.
