So I have some very important news: I HAVE A NEW CHAIR OMG.

It's not perfect yet; there are all sorts of minor tweaks and changes that have to be made. (And because I am so physically inflexible, the wheelchair controls need to be positioned very precisely, and there are all sorts of awkward things like deflating the seat cushion a bit to make it more comfortable means the armrests are too high, etc.)

But. But! It is shiny and new, and *fast* (6mph top speed), and the suspension is amazing, and it has all the features I need including the lateral tilt, and the display has a clock, a speedometer, an odometer, a resettable trip odometer -- no streaming video though, lol.

I'm still switching back and forth between the chairs until the things that need resolving get resolved, but soon the most important question will be how to bling it up to suit my personality :D

Yay!!!! And so necessary; the old chairs have been giving you no end of grief!

I am generally in favor of colorful reflective tapes in either coordinating or contrasting colors, and possibly cut out into decorative shapes, for multipurpose bling.

Whoop whoop whoop.

Jazzy 620? Roho? Quantum back? I have those armrests, it's great to be able to adjust vertically. You probably have a gimbal mount on the joystick, which lets you adjust it 360 deg.
