Powerchair arrived.

My powerchair arrived but it had to be charged for 18 hours before use but I guess some of you know that.

I went out on it yesterday and found it harder to master than I did my electric scooter...... I guess it will be a case of trial and error until I get used to it.

I guess the best place to try it out would be my local shopping centre(mall)and that would be Bluewater Shopping Centre, at Greenhithe, Kent. xx

Delighted it's arrived at last. it will take time to get used to it - it's like moving from a Mini to a Ferrari, you're bound to crunch the gears to begin with. Have fun!!

Take care, Ian

You'll get the hang of it. Probably not a good idea to try on a Saturday at Bluewater

I think all these things have a good helping of shopping trolley in their genes

Not well. I am of a generation that still thinks Brent Cross is the cats whiskers!!!

We hired one in fuengirola for Mum when on hols. She took to it remarkably well after the initial collision with a fellow holidaymakers chair, complete with holidaymaker just about to swig her San Miguel 🙈🙈.
