The Eagle HD is one of the best purchases I have made. I have a spinal cord
injury and have limited mobility and this has restricted my activity and travel.
While on vacation in Europe this past summer I rented a device so I wouldn't
have to miss out while my family was out exploring. It was a game changer. As
soon as we returned home I began to research folding wheelchairs. I knew I
needed one that was approved by the FAA-Check! I needed one that we could
fold and put in the back of our vehicle-Check! It also needed to be light enough
that it could be lifted and put into the car (50lbs)-Check! Also one big item I was
hoping to find was a chair that had solid tires not air filled. While in Germany
I had a flat on the rental chair unfortunately all of the bike shops were closed,
so we had to wait till the next day to continue touring.
Thankfully the Eagle HD has solid, no flat tires! The battery life is LONG....
you can go all day.
I have traveled several times on Delta Airlines since purchasing the Eagle HD
and it has been wonderful, staff know exactly how to handle the chair and their
web-site provides all the info you need for the forms. The Eagle HD makes it a
breeze to go through the airport and once you get to your destination you are
free to travel and move about independently. We just got back from Oregon
and I was able to move about freely instead of sitting on the sidelines while my
wife walked around. If you have limited mobility and are missing out on
adventures and touring opportunities or limiting your travel, do not hesitate,
if you are thinking of purchasing an Eagle HD do it! You will be so happy you did!
