Some of you may know what the smart drive is but for those that don't, check out the video below! I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it! It makes wheeling so much easier as it assists me with every push. I won't use it unless I'm outdoors so I'm looking forward to trying it out soon

You will have to post a video of yourself smart driving along DJ

Am saving up for this, too--will probably not live that long to get it, LOL. I tried it at a Disabilitiies Expo, and it was terrific.

I'll definitely get a video when I can butiki

Yeah they're very costly but I just recently heard that they're ADP (Assistive Devices Program) funded which means that 75% of the cost will be funded by our government!

Whew! Best deal I have found here is at wheelchaircusionsage.com:
Smart Drive by Max Mobility
$5,805 which Includes
Freight + A Free Cushion
( ANY Stimulite or Jay or Vicair )

Butiki and ridingdirty, for shipping to Oz or France, I'm guessing you might have to pay some freight... I called them and "free cushion" includes any options you need, can be a $500 value!

I gotta admit, I'm jealous of the prices for electronics
