Cura360’s Product Review:

We have tested the PW 4x4Q, and here are our reactions.

The PW 4x4 from Foldawheel is a true All Terrain Power Wheelchair (Sometimes called an electric wheelchair). It has true 4x4 capabilities; that’s 4 motors, one on each wheel. It can even climb stairs!* With large-diameter wheels and a rugged underbelly, going over uneven terrain and obstructions are a breeze. In addition to 4 motors and large wheels, what really makes this power wheelchair truly one of a kind is the Gyroscope-controlled seat angle. For climbing up stairs and steep slopes, it's critical that the center of mass of the rider remains over the wheels to prevent tipping. The PW 4x4 controller senses the angle as you move up the slope, and then automatically adjusts the seat angle forward or backward accordingly. This allows the rider to concentrate on where they are going instead of worrying about tipping over.

Larger-width “beach” tires are available as an option for beach and snow-covered trails, further expanding the terrain that this power wheelchair can cover. Swapping tires is also a breeze for your caregiver as each wheel is removable with a single latch pin.

The 4-motor design also allows the user to spin on a dime! With a 4x4, 4 motor drive, the PW 4x4 can literally pivot in its own space.

Here at Cura360, we believe that “All Terrain” should include flat surfaces, not just rough outdoor surfaces. Other popular “All-terrain” wheelchairs are not suitable for indoor use as 4-wheel drives or tracks can damage flooring while turning. For flat terrain such as indoors, activate the PW 4x4’s Energy-Saver mode. This engages a rugged 5th wheel that actually lifts the back end of the PW 4x4 just slightly off its main rear wheels leaving only the front wheels touching the ground. This saves on the power used for these surfaces since 2 wheels will run more efficiently than 4, thus saving battery charge and extending your travel distance. It is also much easier on your floors!

*Maximum slope capacity: 30 degrees. Maximum step height (per step) capacity: 6". Maximum Step climbing angle: 25 degrees. The PW 4x4 is not well suited for climbing narrow steep staircases, whether indoors or outdoors.
