It's the Army Navy Country Club.......perhaps it's metal press art used as a lawn ornament or it functionally screens an objectionable view from the country club's golf course. It could be that it's the on-site location of the new Ally Chair manufacturing facility and they just call it a country club........formerly a scrap metal recycling facility. I wondered the same thing. lol
Interesting background for the photo shoot of the shiny new restyled stainless steel Ally Chairs ready to be delivered to a deserving Vet. |

I love the Chip Foose wheels. Very nice. Perhaps Foose should make a new hub so they don't have to be drilled so funky, the 3 bolts on a 5 spoke wheel look odd.

please keep trying- maybe a better tour guy the first time i tried the guy kept moving the lean steer- thus turning the machine i find if i show that i ride slow smoothly and polite most places welcome you in lean it against a wall or corner the first times on and off. if you can stand upright at all you should be good to go try the fat tires ones. easier on the back and hips if you can step up one step then step back down you definitely can ride i couldnt stand at all then here i have almost 375 miles on mine.it has given me more than i can say i had a bad stroke it has improved my stamina and balance.and core strength,- anyone please ask a question if you would like.my vision slowed me down at first but im thinking that has improved too. |

I'm l4 complete. As I said in a earlier post I see the ally as a everyday chair. Nothing moves below point of injury with a complete SCI. That's why most of these conversions fail for true wheelchair users. The Ally is closet to the mark. |

Back after years away!
Hi Folks.
I could find out all this stuff eventually by googling, but this thread probably knows all the answers! I have two original series 1 Segways, (i70?) grip steer, old technology batteries. I'd like to convert one for use by my wife and have one spare (wife is a current wheelchair user (polio), used to ride her own seg but had to stop). What is the status of these Ally chairs? Can they use my Segs? Is there anything better, or anything else I should be looking at? Cheers Ron |
