wheelchair reminded me the need to "understand" why dealers(salesman)
recommend certain chairs.
I have had Invacare all my life too. He brought the new Aviva and R-Trak
for me to look at. I liked them both but I could not test drive them.
He kept saying that Invacare not reliable and various issues.
Does anybody have either of these chairs and use Ezlock?

I am going through process of getting new electric wheelchair and
trying to get a model that has an ezlock for it.
I have invacare storm series but invacare went bankrupt, and dealer
wants me to switch to Quantum R-TRAK rear wheel drive.Does anybody
with ezlock have one for quantum chair?
I heard that ezlock is making one for R-TRAK but I do not see it on
their list of wheelchairs.
Here is list from Ezlock.

Greetings,
I've never seen a manual wheelchair, using a single post on an EZ
Lock System, for driving or riding. I have seen double wheel
securement for riding wheelchairs. The design of an EZ lock system
was designed for drivers and riders using powered chairs. I would
consider going directly to EZ Lock Securement and getting an
answer directly from them rather than a dealer.
Best Wishes.

hi to all ! Past two years been having health issues/skin
breakdown, rotator cuff surgery, recovery, etc. so I have been
absent from this group! I hope everyone is well!
Currently, I’m driving my motorized chair using the easy lock
system.
I want to be able to use my manual chair and was advised that
I would need the new Q straint lock down system ( state agreed
to install and pay for the pin for my manual chair. ) the
reason being because the easy lock does not make a pin for my
manual chair.
One last thought, the salesman/company who recommended the new
lock down system at First told me it be no problem for me to
use my current motorized chair with the new system( qstraint)
Then weeks later flipped on me and said because of liability
the only chair I could drive from would be my manual chair,
and could no longer use the motorized chair……….
( many months ago also he told me this is just between you and
I, but we looked at the pins and there’s no difference between
the pens except colors and the only trouble I may run into is
if I had an accident and tried to come back on the company who
made the pin because I had did not have the pin the
manufacturer requires us to use.
It’s a cumbersome process to navigate so I would appreciate
any one willing to share their experience and would appreciate
some assistance!
Thanks ahead of time !!
