Zinger Chair, Ultra-Portable Motorized Mobility Chair, Lightweight, Folding Electric Mobility Chair, Airline Travel Compatible, Black

This chair seems to be well made. sturdy, easy to use. 4 stars was because the instructions are not very well written. Some of the parts they reference in their instructions they use different names. This causes some confusion. It is heavy for me and I am an able bodied adult. This purchase was for a 96 year old. A video or more clear instructions would be helpful. We watched all the videos we could find. Helpful tips would be a good idea. One thing to keep in mind, you need both hands to operate. So if you are trying to get through a door, its impossible unless it is an automatic door. A light interior door is manageable. If it could somehow be operated one handed, that would be a huge improvement. A joystick maybe? Otherwise you will need someone to help you with heavy or exterior doors that are not automatic. The basket is not user friendly. it is very small and way under the seat. One must get out of the chair and bend way over to put something in and out of it. We will be shopping for some sort of canvas bag/lap bag so she can do a little shopping with it. It is very compact and easy to maneuver in the apartment and in the elevator. Hopefully we will be able to resolve the entrance and exit building doors. It came undamaged but the box was totally mangled I am surprised the chair was not damaged in shipping, but it was not. We will continue to practice with it.

Zinger would not work on my carpet I returned back to amazon

I love the speeds and maneuverbility, the cool mesh seat, the sling foot rest, the ease of set up and take down, and its weight is liftable (barely) at 42 lbs. What I don't like about it is that it won't cross pea rock (and there's a lot of it here in the Fl. Keys); perhaps it would if the front wheels were larger. But what could be a deal-breaker is the uncomfortable grip of the throttle trigger handle. My hand is sore just from paracticing in the street. I can't imagine how it will be after a whole day at a theme park, and that's what I bought it for! I will wear gloves to see if that helps.

Like the sturdiness of the design, it is easy to break down and pull up to use just by pulling the wire at back of seat, good controls and quite strong and fast if needed but controllable too. Only bad marks were no information or paperwork came with the unit so had to go online to see how to setup which was easy when i got it online, most importantly the controls leave your hands at risk of being damaged going through a tight doorframe, i think this is something that is going to be an ongoing issue which is a pity as i love the design concept.

It was fun to use and when I had a fall became a life saver

It was excellent to go places again with bad knees. I love it!!

We found the Zinger while on vacation in Boca Raton. My mom was with us and was having some trouble getting around mostly due to the fact she is in her 80's. She was reluctant to try it, but did and instantly took to using both hands to start, stop and turn. We bought it for her as an early birthday present. She's had her Zinger for several months now and loves it! It wasn't cheap, but knowing my mom is getting around easier without fatigue and pain is worth every penny.

Have had this chair for 9 months and it needs a new battery which costs $365 + shipping. I'm worried this chair will cost me this much every 9 months. I expected the battery to last longer, much longer. They only guarantee their batteries 6 months....so buyer beware.I don't even use the chair much. In the house I use a walker to keep as much of my mobility as I can. I only use it when I leave the house. I hope someone comes up with a generic battery for this chair.
