Powered wheelchair - Balder or Otto Bock ?

Bob_Bridges

Looking for some advice on using and running a powered wheelchair.
Narrowed it down to two - Balder or Otto Bock.

Would be interested in opinions/experiences either good or bad.

Thanks in advance, Bob

have you looked at the Alber Adventure the Balder and Otto Bock seem to do the job from what i've heard but if your looking at spending that sort of amount on a powerchair then Definitely have a go in an Adventure they realy look a bit different, going German with powerchairs is a good route if your a demanding user and "zer Engineering is wundervoll !!"

Hi, i'm lucky enough to be recieving a Balder F290 next week (kindly funded by a charity, costing £20,000). I've heard great things about this chair and after having a 'trial run' in one twice, it is absolutley incredible. Eventhough i haven't recieved my Balder yet, i would definatly reccomend it, i have friends who have this chair, they only ever have good things to say about it and they seem like really reliable wheelchairs.

Good luck!
