I got the Quantum Rival a few months back with the speed upgrade, I think it
goes about 7 mph or so,,,,which is pretty quick for outdoors, It took a bit of
getting used to it because like you I had been in Invacare Arrows for the past
14 years, all my chairs have been REAR wheel drive and that works great for me
and fit into my 1995 chevy astro mini van. Many folks do not like the rear
wheel indoors because it is not good for tight turns like the mid-wheels can
do. My area is set up for outdoors...it has trails and park area's near me, so
rear wheel is great for me. I suggest trying a few like you said you are going
to do. I do love the Quick Change buttons on this Quantum that can switch from
tilt/leg lift back to drive very fast by a button on either side of the
control. good, luck, Dan H***

had the Invacare Action Arrow Storm for all 19 years. Invacare got in trouble
with the FDA and are under a consent decree with them. My DME is really trying
to steer me away from getting an Invacare chair. It would be a Torque 3. I am
suppose to be testing it as well as a Permobil C350 and a Quantum Rival. The
provider brought out the Quantum on Friday and it has a plate footrest (I have
always had 2 footrest which allows me to straddle table posts at restaurants) I
don’t even think my feet would stay on a center mounted foot plate. They were
suppose to bring the Invacare first and the employee agreed he didn’t think my
feet would stay on the plate. He even told me that the motors in the Rival go
out but I didn’t hear that from him. The DME supplier is trying to get
footrests for the demo chairs but said they can only get 1 side for the
Invacare. Would love input on any of these chairs. Nicki
