Hi, @linusbert
I think @Howard has one of those, or something similar. You might want to reach out to him using this thread.
Best of luck!
hey thanks!Hello. I have a Permobil M3 Corpus, which seems to meet your 160° requirement.
I've had the chair since August, and it functions rather impressively overall.

Having had experience of a few I trust TDX. Wouldn't go near the lighter Sunrise Quickie - bits falling off, unable to handle even almost flat dropped kerbs, even struggles horribly to get onto ramps. The wheels easily lose traction and spin, and the wildly multidirectional wheels at the front spin the chair from side to side when you need the chair to go in a straight line, and then randomly twist and lock the chair hard against the sides of the ramps meaning it needs third party assistance to get unstuck. I've been trapped out in the cold and rain more times than I can count, needing random passers by to help. It's scary and I don't trust the chair at all. It's been really bad. I don't generally have those problems in the TDX, it's heavier, more stable and altogether more reliable. I've had a few issues with the control unit, but the rest works fine. On the quickie I've had a motor fail within the first year and all manner of technical issues.i am looking for a electric wheelchair.
it should be reclining at least to 160degree.
and somewhat be comfy in lying position if that is possible.
just am right now on alibaba, looking through... but of all those products, how to find the good ones?

i got that m3 now too, even a pretty modern one.
yesterday i got a ICS tilt error which blocked all buttons so i couldnt move or change seat position. this was nasty. a restart seamed to have fixed it.
also i feel the city streets arent as good as i remembered. the wheel chair is really rough on our sidewalks.
i am now thinking if a 4wheel model would have been better for that?
do you have this? experience with this device?
you are good, 1inch (2,5cm).Congratulations on the chair!
Sidewalk bumps are rough, and sometimes rather jarring. My chair traverses these well, as long as they are no more than an inch high, at slower speeds.
I do not receive that particular error message, just an error having to do with my controller arm being temporarily misaligned (or something). Fortunately, it hasn't occurred in some time.
I do not have any special drive set-up on my chair.
how do you fix those error messages?
it never is. at least not for me.it could be something as simple as a loose cable... right?
it never is. at least not for me.
i contacted permobil, they refused any help, told me to contact my non existent contracted vendor. seamingly buying used chairs on ebay is nothing they want.
is this the situation, i have no one which will maintain my chair?
thanks a lot, i will write down next time.Yeah, definitely a risk purchasing used equipment.
Next time you get the error message (code), please write it down. I may (or possibly not) be able to help. There's a fair amount of information online, and then also, I go downtown (every now and again) for minor repairs. Admittedly, I am not impressed with the staff, but...
