Hi, yes you can take this on a plane, you take it on with your cabin luggage, it is within flight regulation specifications.

Hi Wendy, these style work with any rigid front chair, so a folding chair with a solid front down to the footplate where it is hinged on one side and flips up but these style wont be safe at high speeds if fitted to a folding chair where the fronts detach, there is a new style of connector about to be released which connects just under the front of the seat, which, once I've got here, will make another video of.

Can you not use the other gate or is it locked?

Hi Laura, the little gimbal strapped to the side of my chair frame doesn't have the benefit of the 'squish' of our air tyres, so it looks bouncier than it rides 🙂. I've done an unsealed woodland trail with roots and it managed just fine - see 7mins 10secs on this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6rOfnmIg9Jofrc. The handlebars can be altered up or down and on the next video you can see I have set the handlebars much lower - see 1min 22secs on the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJysnXV5mZ2LfNk Any other questions, just fire away. (Off to make a video of how the trike handles damp sand today - watch this space 🙂)

Hi, sorry for delay, a few messages have escaped me. I find the 250 watt motor ends up faster than the Q5 because the wheel is bigger and not much slower than the 400 watt Q1s because the Q1s are heavier, therefore have to tow more weight.

I will enquire of the manufacturer.

Hi, I've just put the live links above :-)

Hi Lorraine, I'm waiting on fitting instructions from manufacturer as to whether this style will connect to folding chairs with swingaway footplates as the one customer who has just received his, is struggling with getting the two receiving bolts, that normally stay on your chair, on, so, I'll let you know.

Hi, yes, you can wheelie as you approach a kerb, as the drive unit is hinged and you will then travel up the kerb but make sure you are adept at pulling that wheelie and can get the timing right otherwise you may find yourself turning into a human cannonball :-))

Not the end of the world if you use the drive unit with no front wheel to raise your small casters up but at speed, I didn't find it relaxing to have to scan the ground ahead to ensure I wasn't in danger of a front caster catching on anything uneven and, once again, turning into a human cannonball :-)) For smooth surfaces like shopping centres and smooth paths it's an excellent piece of kit but many places we wheel are not smooth, so as I like to bowl along fast, I add a front wheel so I can relax and enjoy the ride :-)

Hi, putting it in 'park' or hitting the red button both disengage the motor and you are then freewheeling with no motor assistance at all until you either turn the knob out of 'park' or if you've hit the emergency stop button, you'll have to release that before you'll be able to get any power. It's easiest to hit the red stop button if someone steps in front of you and then grab your wheels to stop from freewheel or 'neutral'. To get power back, just turn the red button out of it's 'off' position but make sure you're not in high speed, unless you're ready for the 'OFF' :-))))

You’ll be happily triking on your Q7 no worries Andy, get your flying goggles ready 😂

This was a speed test, I stopped going downhill, to sort the camera, so not losing traction and the other times, was either waiting for traffic or testing the very sharp new brakes, never lost traction in this video, do in some others where it's very steep and gritty going :-) There is a newer 12" wheel version which I will be making a replacement video of for this one, so, watch this space :-)

Hi, I've found the 12" wheel the best for traction and getting into smaller spaces like shops and platform lifts into van and on a bus. I've had these 400watt motors pull a combined weight of me, my chair and my adult daughter on my lap, so totalling 29 stone, up a slight incline to Stonehenge! Amazing piece of kit.

Sorry, I can only ship within the UK.

Thank you Kind Sir.

The trike is easy to undock from but then you'd have had to manhandle the trike through on it's stand, the easier solution I found and didn't realise, was most of these gates have a RADAR loo key (UK), that opens it up for normal gate access. 34 years in a chair and still learning :-)

And the radar key means you are being treated differently to all other users of that park, as no others have to use a key.

You can reverse with the trike on but if the sand is really dry and deep, you won't get far enough to get stuck :-) if worse comes to the worse and I tried it, I just used both hands on the wheels and pulled back as you would without a trike on - I now use chunky mountain bike tyres on chunkier wheels, vast improvement and it keeps you up out of sinking as I did with the narrow tyred wheels.

Where abouts do you live Lorraine?

@@LorraineIwakashdan , I'll let you know when the updated version 'lands' in Southampton, they're currently bobbing along inside a crate on a shipping container..... :-)

I'd just end up with a lot of wheel spin and spitting out gravel Dave :-)

I will put Loch Ness on my list of trike video locations :-))))

I’m thinking of moving there. Any advice

@@sarahjane8949 To Verwood? It's changed so much since I left nearly 30 years ago now. Almost unrecognisable to me. The only advice I have is the same for everyone, if you can move to NZ!!

@@sliperysid 😂😂👍👍 family moved to Australia not NZ years ago.. well you wouldn’t recognise London anymore it’s awful... well I’ve done my research and at the moment its pretty certain I’m going that way.. I know Bournemouth town so well so I’m not to far in verwood 😀

@@sarahjane8949 Well best of luck with your move. I'm sure you'll be most happy there! I'm currently in Brisbane myself (long story involving a woman and a child) waiting to collect my father from the airport. He's coming over for Xmas from Verwood. Personally I'd rather be in Verwood than anywhere in Australia. I dislike this country very, very much.

@@sliperysid oh I thought you was in NZ ? Oh sorry to hear that about you’re situation , and that’s lovely that your dad is visiting you.. have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Hi, they both go pretty much the same top speed with the Q1-10" just pipping the top speed as less weight and she sure beats the 16" wheel of the Q2 who spins merrily on steeper hills with loose footing. I've been using the Q1-12" out on a new route I'm taking over heathland with loose tarmac trails and the Q2 struggled uphill last week, took the Q1-12" today and apart from one place where I traversed for a few feet, she didn't spin about like the Q2 did last week! :-)

@@countrycorner16 Thank you. The difference may also be because the Q1 12 has as much as 500w and a wide tire, in Poland I see only the weaker version Q1 10 400 watts, Q2 16 also has 400wat :) Generally Q1 I like it more, it is more versatile :) and to the supermarket and light terrain :) Greetings

@@countrycorner16 I have a manual handbike attachment, just over the wheel or next to the wheel put a weight of 5kg, and the wheel does not slip :) but if we drive gently this wheel also has a hard slip.

Some paraplegics with high lesions have bought them so no, I'd say you get your stability from both hands being on the handlebars :-)

@@countrycorner16 cheers I kind of expected that tbh lol

Or broomstick stuck up a tight-fitting jacket? :-))))@@2piecechickenbox

They sure are Ash and it tackles far more tricky terrain then I ever imagined! AliExpress - that's where I first saw them early last year, now I deal direct with the manufacturer and bring them in in lots of ten as it's virtually impossible to buy one and have it flown home as airlines won't carry items with lithium batteries over 100 watt hours (goes up to 300 Wh if you're flying with it), so they have to go by boat and you need to fill a 1 metre shipping box within a company shipping container which is what I now do with shared loads with interested people in the UK, all handled by my shipping broker, from leaving the factory to turning up on my door and I then send on to the purchasers in the UK.
