they have their own driver lockdown and passenger lockdown. some ezlock's work depending alot on the permobil, ground clearance, 'chair specialities, etc. their lockdown also requires their detachable seatbase. your mobility dealer should know all about it but get all costs before agreeing to it-it is somewhat complicated. involve a CDRS and the permobil rep to avoid snafus tom c.

Truly nightmare experiences. But, I know quite a few more people who have had positive experiences and love their Permobils. I test drove a Permobil a few years back and really liked it. Unfortunately, it was too big to fit in the driving area of my minivan. If I remember right they also didn't have an EZ-Lock bracket available for the chair. Anyone know? Can Permobil's now be equipped for an EZ-Lock? Or do they use their own lock-down system? It's a Swedish company.

I had a permobil m300 mid wheel drive demo to try out for a day. I took the chair out on my regular daily usage, it was great, I'm a lefty and it was set up for a right hand driver but I had no issues. The turning radius is much better then a rear wheel drive chair (I have a quickie p300 built in 1999) My insurance only covers 80% of the cost so I'm trying to raise $3500.00 for my share.

Seems to be more heavy duty than previous chairs, but that also means more weight. Gel filled tires, no flats. The back cushion is comfortable. Controls for the seating system could be a little more quad friendly.
