My last 2 chairs have been invacare storm series also with rear wheel drive, I
just had to get a new chair and wanted the same, since they work for us plus
fit in our mini astro wheelchair van......They told me everyone including
invacare is getting away from the rear wheel drive chairs, so my supplier
ordered me a chair from Pride Mobility that still makes a rear wheel drive,
They use Quantam Electronics I think. So far I am very happy with this new
chair except my legs are so long that I don't have very much clearance from the
floor...so I have to recline back a few inches when going over ramps,thresholds
or outside, I'm now used to that but most people would not have this problem
probably. I love the Electronics...they have a quick change button that can
switch from tilt/leg lift or back into drive and then 4 speeds of drive, this
chair is fast goes 7.5 mph. It even has a built in clock and how many miles you
drive....Since I got it in February I have put 91.3 miles on it. The tires are
extremely good and show zero wear so far.....( my invacare tires would be at
least a quarter of the way worn out already) so these must be very well made.
I now have my last chair going as a back up but my old back up chair I am
giving away if anyone wants it or needs parts....It works and has the charger
with it but has set so long It would need the batteries replaced...It is also
and invacare storm rear wheel drive chair with tilt and leg lift, there is a
place online called Wholesare batteries that sells all the same batteries we
need for much,much cheaper than the suppliers do. Dan H. St. Louis, Mo. area.

div.yiv0656812410WordSection1 {}-->Need your opinions and input please I have
been injured almost 19 years (Thought it was 20 but I was wrong) and I am
getting ready to get a new chair.This will be my 3rd chair and and my 1st two
were Invacare Action Arrow Storms. They are no longer making this chair LI hate
change! I went to an evaluation appointment and was told the chair I want
(Invacare Torque 3) is considered a Group 4 chairAnd it would be difficult to
get. They recommended a Permobil C350 or Quantum Rival. They told me that an
Invacare plant had been shut down by the FDA ( I think that’s right) and their
concern is if I got theInvacare they might quit making parts for it. I feel
they probably make more $$ off the other two chairs (I just really have trust
issues with them) . I have had incredible luck with my Invacare chairs,
obviously since 2 have lasted 19 years. What would you recommend? Nicki
