Hi Keith,

I can't help with insurance in the US and I don't know about pricing for repairs.

My guess is that you could replace the PG Drives VR2 Joystick Controller for less than $500,...

Good to know there are other cheaper options. Please post if you find something that works with a longer range.

As a follow-up to posts about adding an attendant control to the ZX-1 (see posts #625 and later), we received the mount/bracket that Pat made for us. He used a motorcycle mirror mount and welded on...

Hi Robotnik,

Our lithium batterties are Powerizer LiFePO4 from BatterySpace in the US. This is the spec sheet http://www.batteryspace.com/prod-specs/6912.pdf.

It is expensive to have them...

Still wondering if Pattherat is still active on CareCure. Does anyone have a contact e-mail for him?

We finally got some of these and they are great! A little hair still makes it in, but nowhere near as much as before. And I agree with others that they are much easier to install than spacers.

We recently ordered the Frog Legs Aluminum Double Soft-Roll Casters -- 5.1/4". From my measurements, they have the same outside diameter as the non-Double Soft-Roll Casters, so they fit perfectly. So...

So after 5 long years, we finally bought a SmartWheel. So far, it is working great and is a good solution for anyone who wants an all-terrain third wheel who can't use a FreeWheel. We couldn't use...

We are hoping that Schwalbe starts using the Airless System for 24" wheelchair tires. It's currently only available for larger tires. I heard good things from our bike mechanic about them (in...

Here is a link for the trailer: https://www.burley.com/product/travoy/

Here is an overview of how I connected the trailer hitch to Rob'z ZRA (sorry, some is in Dutch, but I think you can get the...

I thought you might all like to see my husband Rob shopping with our dog Jane using his ZX-1 and a Burley Travoy bike trailer.

Maybe look for one used on sailboats that "gimbal" -- tilt with the boat. This might be a bit cheaper than the RAM mount https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Dog-588130-3-Swivel-Holder/dp/B00DH3KEUS.

When you say ?drop rail? I assume you mean the B1 Drop Rail? My husband has a MC4020 ? with the standard 17?x17? seat dimensions and a Drop Rail. On his chair we are able to change the location from...

Has anyone here heard from Pattherat? I have been having a conversation with him through messages, but he seems to have disappeared in the middle of it. Hopefully we just got our communication...

I also think wheelchair manufacturers are backwards, especially for those who don’t need/want dealers involved. We are not required to go through a dealer for funding, and we have not had good...

I just saw that Frog Legs is selling Frog Shields https://froglegsinc.com/collections/accessories/products/frog-shield. They sell them in a set of 4, either black or silver.

Very cool. I like anything made from off-the-shelf non-disabled equipment. Would definitely need an easier way to transfer into it though.

Oh, my. Those are muddy knobbies. Thanks for the info about the wheels/tires. I'm hoping we get some funding, in which case I will replace the entire wheel I think. Otherwise I guess I will muddle...

Sorry to hear they did not work out for you.

This might seem like a stupid question, but did you just replace the tires, or also the wheel/rim? .

You are a rock star Pat! I think you are right about it just being that weak mount, because it is a similar feel as when the armrest is not locked. And I'm glad I did the cables okay. I have since...

Nice to see you back SCI_OTR -- you have been missed.

It's not really moving the opposite way, it is just not clearly moving in the direction it should and is kind of wavy. I'm not sure if the...

I installed the VR2 - Dual Attendant Control today. It was really easy -- "plug n play" as mentioned by Pat. I did a quick lash-up for a mount with a cheap mobile phone holder and a lot of Gorilla...

I managed to buy the Dual Attendant Intermediate Cable directly from PG Drives in the UK. Based on my experience with them in the past when I was going to order a programmer, it's cheaper than...

I found the VR2 Attendant Module for about $100 on eBay.co.uk, but it does not include the Dual Attendant Intermediate Cable. If anyone see's one of these at a good price, let me know.

Many thanks for both replies Pat. I had not seen your first reply when I had posted the last one (oops).

That's great to hear that this is possible and that I don't need to reprogram. I also...
