Ally Chair
 

Whatever became of the Ally Chair?

Is it still for sale? Does anyone use one? Any reviews out there?

I can no longer find info on the Ally Chair. However, the first Segfrees are scheduled to arrive in the USA in about 4 weeks.

Also, in recent discussion with Segsolutions I discovered they are fabricating a landing gear/kickstand for their Freedom GldR......apparently a stand alone unit attaching to the Segway frame not the Seat Kit. Perhaps could be used on any Segway for added stability if currently using a SegSeat or SegSaddle. I'm waiting for a call when it's ready to test drive. They also have a new backrest option.

Hello,

I'm a lurker. As much as I would love to use a Segway I can't. We tried in PT but no luck. L4 para.

I have kept an eye on the Ally chair, that's the ticket for me.
Somebody is building that chair as I still see Segs-4-vets giving them to our returning heroes. It's out there but I haven't found the source yet. It appears the original guys not making them anymore but someone must be, I think. Lol

I've seen all these other conversions but none have hit the streets, except the ally.

I want one, now.

Check out the SegFree.......coming to the USA Distributor in a few weeks. Very affordable compared to the others.

The segfree will not work for me. It looks like a nice design, but anything with the control shaft in the middle is out.

That was the same problem with the Genny .If you are a person whose disability allows you to get up and stand some it's not a big problem. In my case having to remove the shaft every time I needed to transfer just wouldn't get the job done. Not to mention the shaft makes it impossible to pull the chair under a table.

Most of the other chair conversions all look good, but more for people that need a temporary chair or a specialty chair. I'm looking for something that I can use 90% of the time. From what I have seen the alley chair is the only one so far.

From a very practical standpoint after a few decades of lifting my body around i've got a strong upper body so independent transfer is a piece of cake. But the nuisance of having to constantly remove or fold the shaft is just a dealbreaker. Just getting in and out from under my desk at work would require a large amount of shaft removes.

The ally also is the only one i've actually been able to see in person.

I'll track down whoever is building that chair and I will buy it in a heartbeat.

I was back on the www.allychair.com website and it looks as though they can be ordered on-line. Although my guess is you have tried without success. Good luck as it looks to be a very stabile,functional, quality built product.

Yeah I tried, I'll keep you all posted.
Thank you for the input!

Just saw this on the Segs4Vets thread
 

"Four of this week’s recipients will receive an Ally Chair adapted Segway, a universally designed recreational device which is currently only available through the Segs4Vets program. The program transforms the Segway into a seated device allowing it to be used by those who cannot make productive use of prosthetics."

Obviously they're getting it from somewhere....

Looks like I'm heading for San Antonio next week.
