Hi everyone, Sorry it took me so long to respond to the questions I received about my post bellow. The GB motors are still available according to Invacare customer service but my local DME provider says it is for a limited time but they have no idea when the limited time will end, could be months or years. They think they will be discontinued because most insurance will not pay for the upgrade because the GB motors are not necessary for indoor use and most insurance companies think wheelchairs are for inside use and not outside use.
