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!

I love my Eagle HD! It gives me the freedom to live in 'independent living'
at a continuous care community; otherwise, I would need to reside in
'assisted living' and wouldn't be able to see all the residents that I've
come to know over the last eight years. I especially enjoy getting together
with everyone at our nightly dinners in the dining room and going to other
sites in the building to play cards and games. Without the Eagle I'd be
much more housebound in my apartment. Thanks for giving me my
independence!!

Wonder the reasons why pick the Eagle HD wheelchair was through the fact
that the one that the VA gave me was not suited for outdoor use. The Eagle
Wheelchair allows me to do things I couldn’t do before. It also allows my
Health Aide to be able to take me to the event by able to fold the wheelchair
up and put it in my minivan. I am 100% disabled Navy veteran and you allow
me to be a photographer for the Kelly Logan house 5K. This event was special
to me because they were raising money for the Michael J. Fox foundation. I
wouldn’t been able to shoot this event without this Wheelchair he has I had to
go on grass get some of my pictures, I have pictures of myself and Suit, but I
wanna show off what I actually was able to shoot that day.

I purchased the Eagle HD folding wheelchair over six years ago. I use it
around my house, but is indispensable to go to doctor’s appointment, therapy,
and socializing. I was able to take the folding wheelchair on several vacation
trips to the Caribbean on an airplane with no problem whatsoever.
I am extremely happy!

I am a 74 year old polio survivor and can no longer walk. I live in a very
walk able neighborhood in Cleveland and decided I wanted to get out more.
My area has lots of walking and biking trails and ready access to Lake
Erie and the Cuyahoga River. There are many of restaurants, breweries
and parks close by so there is much to see and do. I’m a baseball fan and
i decided to buy an Eagle HD so I could go to Indians games since I live
just a little over a mile from Progressive Field and can be there in about
25 minutes, from my home door to the Corner of Carnegie and Ontario, as
we say in these parts. On the way I cross the Lorain-Carnegie bridge which
is festooned with the Guardians of Transportation, the namesakes of the
team’s new name. Unfortunately I bought the chair just a few months before
the Coved lockdown took place, so my first year of ownership I hardly left my
house. But by the next summer I began to use the chair incessantly and have
logged hundreds of miles. I can buy groceries at the local store, visit the iconic
West Side Market, go to doctor and dentist appointments, and just get out to
see friends, enjoy nature, and get some fresh air.
.
The chair is very sturdy and easy to operate and very comfortable to sit in.
I’ve taken it on trips to Costco and points beyond, as long as I have someone
to load it to and unload it from the back of my car. My daughter is in the Navy
and a few years ago my son and I drove from Cleveland to Norfolk VA to greet
her when her ship came back to the US from its former port in Spain. I used the
chair to tour the sites of the naval base and the city . On the whole I have found
it a very valuable addition to my life and enjoy the independence it provides to me.

I LOVE my Eagle! I was looking for an electric chair that is lightweight, easily
stowed in a car, has a fold away foot rest, has arms that I can use to stand, is
maneuverable and COMFORTABLE! The Eagle is the only one that meets
all these requirements! It allows me to shop, eat out, travel ( both by car and
air) and most importantly , go to my grandkids' sporting events! I've had it
almost 4 years and have had absolutely NO trouble with it! The large wheels
allow me to travel over most ground to get to ball fields etc. Having 30 miles
on a battery charge has allowed me to attend fairs, expos and conventions
without running out of juice! I've heartily recommended it to many people
with mobility issues- many of whom have approached me for information
about my incredible chair!! I am so incredibly grateful for the freedom it
has given me!

When it was time to replace my big bulky electric wheelchair I came across
the Eagle HD. I was Intrigued by the weight and simple design of the chair.
At 50 pounds it was much lighter than the chair that I had and would therefore
take a lot of the stress off of my wife when assisting me with the chair. Having
never seen a chair designed like that before I was a little skeptical, but the
specifications of the chair, the weight, the distance of travel with the two
batteries, and the price of the chair convinced me to give it a try. I have to
say that the purchase of my eagle HD chair is the best thing that I have ever
done for myself. I have had other wheelchairs, but I’ve never felt as safe and
secure as I do in my Eagle HD. The other chairs have those big captains chair
seats, and when you went over rough terrain it felt like you could be thrown
out of the chair. Plus, they contain car batteries, which are difficult to replace.
With the Eagle HD that is not the case. The batteries are self-contained
lithium ion that easily slide in and out and you get around 30 miles from a
set of two batteries. You sit lower to the ground than other chairs so you
feel secure when going over bumpy ground. I do a lot of yard work outside
and I’m constantly leaning on the arms of the chair to rake and hoe and other
things like that. The arms are strong and support my weight without any
problem. It is a really powerful chair and can go over almost any terrain.
Hills are not a problem, grass is not a problem, packed trails are not a
problem. The only situation I have found that my Eagle HD has trouble going
through is loose gravel and sand, but that would apply to any wheelchair. My
wife and I love to travel when we can and we recently took a 6000 mile trip to
various parts of the United States. My eagle HD carried me all over the place.
Zoos, amusement, parks, national parks, Chicago, Cleveland, Ohio, Missouri
and All, without any problems whatsoever. I can honestly say that this chair
has given me more freedom than any other chair I’ve ever had. I am an
incomplete quadriplegic, and I’ve been in a wheelchair a long time. This is
the best one yet. My wife loves it too because it does not weigh 200 pounds
like the other chairs, therefore,, she is able to maneuver it when I’m not in it.
For anyone on the fence about a lightweight electric wheelchair, this is the one
to get.

I met a gentlemen using an Eagle wheelchair and he raved about it. When I first
saw it, I was very intrigued so I had to find out more about it. I looked at several
models of this kind of wheelchair and finally made my decision on the Eagle. I
have never regretted it. I use my Eagle whenever I go out. I use it for outings
shopping, to the salon, doctors appointments, church, dinner, which on almost
every shopping trip I get stopped by someone as intrigued as I was about this
wheelchair! Sometimes they even take a picture of it so they can go online to
find out more. I even plan on using it at Disneyland later this year! What I like
is that it is not a bulky wheelchair, so fitting at a table in a restaurant is easy. It
is very durable, transports easily, the batteries last a long time between charges
for me, and the colors are beautiful! I get a lot of looks because it is not the usual
looking wheelchair. It gives me the freedom I need to do the things that matter in
my life. Depending on the level of disability, you may need help loading the Eagle
in the car like I do, but it fits right in the cargo portion of my SUV. No special
carriers are required, it just folds up to transport. Living with MS and not being
able to walk is hard enough, using my Eagle has given me that freedom.

The Eagle HD has changed my life completely . Before I had to rely on others
to push my traditional wheelchair around, now I have gained the freedom to
choose when and where I go, and how fast. The ability to experience theme
parks and take strolls on hiking paths with my children has increased the
amount of enriching family time I get to spent with my favorite people. Before
I would have been left on the side lines, now I may join in the fun. On a recent
trip to my local state park, I was able to see and experience more than any
other time I had been there thanks to my Eagle HD. My husband chose the
Eagle HD for it's lightweight and portable size. The Eagle HD folds into a
compact square and can be picked up and put in a vehicle within moments.
The batteries location and compact size were other important factors when
he chose this brand. It is also durable and hearty , it can carry a significant
amount of weight without faltering. I have enjoyed my Eagle HD for three
years, the amount of freedom it has provided me and my family has been
amazing. I truly cannot imagine going back to a traditional wheelchair and
all of it's confines. I believe this mobility device would increase the quality
of life for anyone who may need to use it, it provides freedom.

Here is a photo of me on vacation in Hawaii with my eagle he. I have a lot
of people ask me to buy and quite a few have taken photos and we’re going
to call about it. I actually have two Eagle HD wheelchairs, one lives in the
car and the other in the house. Absolutely amazing Indoors and outdoors.

This is amazing! We were BLOWN AWAY when we got this! It was already
put together when we got it and took it out of the box! It was so easy to use
and very high quality. We have had the Eagle HD for about a year , and my
son uses it every day when we go on our family walks. He "runs" on it's max
speed of 5mph and chases his brother around the lawn all the time!! It has a
lot of power so he can go up and down the small hills where we live.
The Eagle HD has given our son back his freedom. He uses it multiple times
a day every single day. It is very safe as it has a very sturdy seatbelt and a
good, comfortable adjustable cushion. It is a very smooth ride. It handles very
well on turns and maneuvers very well on turns. It easily handles lots of different
terrain. It has given us so much joy! The batteries charge very fast. It is very easy
to fold down and throw in your car or truck. The entire process takes less than 30
seconds. Whenever you have any questions, the customer support is always there
to help out, as they are very nice and friendly and eager to help!

When my mobility started to decline I began looking for a chair that was reliable,
versatile, comfortable, able to turn sharp corners in confined hallways, and also
had a sporty look as I didn’t want to feel less than. More than three years later
the Eagle HD has turned out to be all of these things. Initially nervous I had my
husband drive the chair, , but I quickly gained the confidence to drive my
Eagle HD independently . Still running well on the original batteries it allows
me to go to pretty much everywhere I want to go. Indoors I can maneuver
around corners and tight spaces and it allows me to get around the kitchen
to cook with my grandchildren. Strangers stop and ask me about it because
they like its sporty look. When we travel my husband is able to load and unload
it in and out of the car . Best of all I am able to drive it in and out of the barns
when the grandkids show their animals at the fair , navigate to the sidelines of
both their indoor and outdoor sporting events, and the seat is comfortable so I
always have my personally reserved seat at their events. The Eagle HD is
helping me to live my best life.

I wanted the best foldable electric wheelchair that was durable and powerful.
I wanted the best and that meant the Eagle HD.

I have owned an Eagle HD for a couple years. I am an ambulatory chair user -
I can walk - but I rely on a wheelchair certain times due to various health
conditions when they flare (think autoimmune & cardiovascular). I am a
younger user in my 30s but disability doesn’t discriminate if you’re young.
The Eagle HD is used to go to all day events with my family: the zoo, museums,
vacations, parades & long walks on grass and pavement. I’m grateful because I
wouldn’t be able to hang out with my children otherwise as a walker doesn’t
suffice for these events. The zoo is probably the most frequent place we go and
I wouldn’t last without it! A power wheelchair doesn’t have to be a last resort
mobility aid and the only aid. One can use a rollator walker some times, and the
power chair another day depending on your health and event. I chose the
Eagle HD as its durable enough for the outside events I mentioned as well
as I’m plus size. I’m grateful to have a comfortable sturdy chair that fits me. I
did buy the seat / space extenders and my husband easily installed them. I have
attached little accessories to add cup holders and hooks and to show off my personality. Mobility aids don’t have to be boring!

My husband Ray is a big man 6’2 and we needed a power chair that I could
easily lift and set up to increase mobility and opportunity. After much looking
and review we picked the Eagle. Not only are we very pleased but Hans is
delighted too because he now can get more walks with Dad! The chair is comfy,
goes over multiple surfaces with ease including grass, some snow, gravel and
dirt as well as the smooth paved surfaces you’d expect. It’ s not the lightest
chair we checked out but I am able to lift it in and out of our car without
difficult. The joy stick is very responsive to touch and the ability to move in
and out of manual to power is super helpful depending on what the area we
are in is like. Ray especially likes having a cup holder for his coffee. . We
give this chair a two thumbs up for doing what we were looking for and
improving quality of life.
