Culver Mobility Shawk Electric Wheelchair for Adults, All Terrain Lightweight Foldable Wheelchairs,Power Motorized Electric Wheel Chair, Comfortable Remote Control Mobility Aid (Black)

I bought this wheelchair a year ago, and it has been a huge disappointment. The quality is terrible—within months, the wheels started wobbling, and the frame feels flimsy. The seat material is already wearing out, and the brakes barely work anymore. For the price, I expected something much more durable and reliable. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a long-term wheelchair. Save your money and invest in something better!

Review of the Panther: Awesome machine. Goes fast, has a lot of power, battery lasts more than a day. Culver moved the recline to a manual side mount that is easy to reach and it is MUCH better than the power recline. I was worried, but it is a MUCH better design. Culver spread out the wheel base on the Panther, making it much more stable. I can now recline while driving. The lowest speed is good for slow walkers like my grandson. Speed two was great for keeping up with the guys in the airport. I know they say it is safe, but I took the battery out easily and carried it into the cabin anyway. First flight, we left the joystick on and it got a little bent, making it hard for me to see speed. My son muscled it back up with little problem. Return flight, we easily unscrewed the handle and trapped it between the seats then used bungee cords to lock it tightly in the folded position. We did need to fold the chair up to slide the joystick handle out, but it is also easier to take the battery out slightly folded as well. So, fold slightly, take out the battery, loosen the joystick screw, take it out, tighten the screw so as not to lose it. slide the joystick between padded seats, fold it down, bungee cord around middle, and one from the foot rest to the back, and we had a safe secure package for the airline to stow. It sounds like a lot, but all of that took less than 5 minutes and the folded wheelchair was ready to stow. Don't forget the bungee cords. We use them to tie our luggage together to make it easier to drag through the airport anyway. Return trip was a little wait as they had to retrieve it from the hold and bring it to us. Once they brought it, it was fast remove of the bungee cords, shove them in the bag, install the battery and joystick, unfold the chair and lock it, and we were rolling in about 5-7 minutes. Speed is sweet and since covid ate up all of my joints and my spine, I just cannot do that run through the airport. In this machine, my long legged men have to keep up with me. My son, 6'3" weighs about 300 pounds, and tried it. It went a little slower on take off which might be a good thing because it jumps out from under me. My battery may last a lot longer because of my lower weight and the chair is rated for a heavier person.Update to Shawk: I bought the Culver Shawk previously, and it was really great. Sometimes I would forget to hold the button long enough to transfer the joystick to power recline, and I ended up loaning it to my Dad who was fighting bone cancer. He loved it so much that the Dr made him stop using it when chemo got his cancer into remission. Dr made him go to therapy to get strong again. The only problem is that I must recline all the time due to spine issues, and the balance wasn't as good for reclined driving in the Shawk.I was able to go to Kennedy Space Center and Gatorland, to a warehouse to pick counters, and plan to go to more events later. I am scheduled for hip replacement soon. It zips around and I can keep up. Be aware that when you turn it on it goes to fastest speed so you have to learn to take the speed down before going. I was pure dangerous with this thing. I have spine issues so need the recline. Remember to straightne up a bit when driving and you will be fine. This is more freedom than I have had for a long time. I can get into tight places, and it turns on a dime. Good chair!

First off, I never review products.I needed to review this because I know I was so nervous about which chair to buy. I have a medical condition where I pass out quite a bit, also I suffer from seizures. I have been stuck at home for almost 3 years since I got sick.This let me go to Disney with my husband!Things I love. It’s portable, my husband has to lift it for me into the car…but it fits in the back of our Honda CRV. It went through the parks all day and never lost power. It has recline and a foot rest, critical for me! These options are extremely useful for when you need to lay back for whatever you need may be. No flat tires.*Room for improvement- speed. I weight 120lbs and it was slow. On any kind of incline.It needs tail lights, it is low to the ground and people do not see me down there very well.So far…I like it. It’s not as posh as my big one at home but really convenient for trips.

I have been having an issue with my wheelchair that is less than a year old for months. It will randomly shut off when going up any sort of incline including my ramp into my car. It won’t power back on unless it is either recharged or the battery is unplugged. I have been unable to get in touch with the manufacturer by email, chat or phone. I’m now stuck with a very expensive paperweight. I highly advise steering clear of this chair, which is a real shame because it has features I was unable to find anywhere else.Edit- I just finished communicating with Amazon customer service. The wheelchair is now still under warranty and useless. I’ve been unable to get in touch with the manufacturer via any method. Amazon will not help beyond trying to get Culver to contact me, which they did not. I’ve now got a $1500 paperweight. In this situation both Culver and Amazon have atrocious customer service. Now I’ve got to buy a new wheelchair, hopefully not from Amazon.

Probably the best wheelchair for the money. Easy to use, folds and fits in the trunk of my Camry. Fast and comfortable.
