Hi Peter,

Finally someone to ask this question to. How do you keep your speed when
using your feet? Do you use your feet to gain and keep speed or to make
turns? And when is a manual chair called a transport chair? Mine is not
foldable, so I think it isn't one of them, but i'm not quite sure. And is it
possible, when using your feet to use the chair outside and for how long can
you do that at a time?

About the chair, with the one arm drive system, it isn't motorized. So your
arms need to be strong enough. I practice and can make longer trips now I
use it for a year or so. At the start it was topsport.

Like you I use a walker at home. The cane causes me pain in my shoulder, so
I do just use it when Beau, my guidedog is walking free and i want to follow
her. 
Best regards,
Petra
