A month ago I bought an electric wheelchair from them. I had a home demo, and then Shaun, the owner, came back a fortnight later to demonstrate it for my son. I bought a chair and it had a fault. It was replaced immediately without delay or quibble. The chair is wonderful and has changed my life. ...this company is not one of them. I have never had better service, and the chair is amazing. If you call the number, I am sure you will easily sort out any issue....(Facebook 09/08/2021)

much more robust than others in same price range... I tried several models before settling on a product from this company and the price was comparable with lot similar chairs available but this one is far more sturdy, some of the ones I tried I did not even feel safe in.(Facebook 10-12/08/2021)

I have the purple chair. It's really easy to store and transport. I booked a demo and after a test drive I purchased one. I have had it a few years now and still going strong - though it is not used daily. I have no regrets buying this chair and would recommend it to others.(Facebook 07/07/2021)

A review from Andy Ellis
Hi BP4D just a short message to say how happy I am to have received and now using daily my f19 22inch wide power chair. It now means I can goto the shops without calling a taxi or my wife to take me there. The chair it's self is as strong as ox and yet still nimble as a fox. I would definitely send friends and family to BP4D if they required there services. All the best BP4D keep up the good work. Yours Andrew Ellis
A review from Sue King
I'm delighted with the J10 chair Shaun delivered to me yesterday - in Surrey! He took the time to recomend the best chair for my situation and got in 100% right. BP4D stocks some of the best powerchairs on the market and while they are not the cheapest they are undoubtedly the best quality and will last for a long time. If you are not sure that a powerchair is the right piece of kit or are unsure of spending the money talk to Shaun and you will get sound advice.Sue King Caterham on the Hill, Surrey(Google 02/06/2021)
A review from Mal J.
My husband is an amputee and not mobile at all. The arms lift up so he can slide onto his bed and the foot plate lifts up out of the way. The company will come round and let you try the chair to see if it suits you. If not, then don’t buy it. It’s the best thing we’ve bought in years. (Facebook 06/05/2021)

My husband has just bought his second wheelchair. It is exactly the same as the previous one because it suits him (and me - no more pushing a wheelchair and I can lift it into the boot) so well. Shaun and his wife are such fabulous people and are efficient and friendly. Thank you for enabling us to lead a good life getting out and about. ❤️(Facebook 25/04/2021)

After 5 wonderful years with my 10J I contacted Shaun to replace it. Excellent prompt service. My original chair was woefully treated by me as I took it upon all sorts of rough ground. It clocked up over 100K in flights being thrown into and out of holds. As a result I felt confident in replacing it with another 10J. Whichever you choose you an count on Shaun to give magnificent after sales service. (Facebook 08/02/2021)

I purchased a scooter from Shaun that really fits the bill. It breaks down into smaller ‘liftable’ pieces to get into any reasonable sized car boot. What I particularly like about it is it doesn’t really look like a mobility scooter having the control and steering on a bicycle type handlebar. It even has a bike type bell. Versatile enough to turn in very tight spaces. Good suspension with ‘springs’ on the seat support bars. Had mine over a year now, still not seen another one like it! (Facebook 14/04/2021)

A review from Julie G.
So I have finally accepted that I need an electric chair. I can just about manage indoors if I hang onto furniture and stuff but only for a few minutes. Until now I have been pushed around by my hubby in a small wheeled chair because I cant self propel as I have a clawed hand. Its essentially paralysed and has been for almost a year now. I went to BP4D and I’ve ordered one thats completely adjustable as I cant sit bolt upright and need a slight recline, also I’m quite small and It will be able to be made to fit. I’m not sure how I feel about it now, I’m quite nervous because I hate to be the centre of attention and don’t want people watching, especially whilst I learn to control it properly.... I’m sure I will come to love the independence again

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2019 >This is my first electric wheelchair and so far I have found it to be a fantastic product. It's easy to use, folds down quite compactly and feels sturdy & safe when using. It's good value for money and has better specifications than other products in the same price bracket.

... my hubby has a Nhs provided wheelchair that costs the NHS about £9000 and is non collapsible meaning he can’t go away for a day. We bought one of these wheelchairs and it has been great. Allowed us to go away in the car with him and now can go on holiday much easier. We have had ours for a year and a half and it’s been great. May Walls my hubby has one of the electric ones at 26 kg and I can lift it in myself although is a bit heavy but doable.

My wife has one in purple..yes,it was dear but the freedom this gives us is excellent. Easy to get out and put up..I've had prams more complicated...28 Kg weight so I can fold,pick it up and store in the boot in under a minute. It has a 20 mile range and can go so fast I have run alongside before now..controls are very sensitive and easy to use. Simple to check on battery power and simple to charge up. Our old one was so heavy,runs on two car batteries and needed ramps and a lot of skill to fit into the boot...and no way could I ever pick it up. These chairs are brilliant and service is too class.

.....it would appear so but may I assure you that Shaun Atkinson does have a disability but it is not apparent. Shaun is one of the most disability aware people I have ever met and his commitment to people with disabilities is not confined to his wheelchair business. I have one of these chairs and although not perfect is really good and has made my life so much better. I have taken it on buses, trains airplane and ship. It also fits into the boot of my car. It is heavy but extremely manoeuvrable. Hope you don't mind me posting this, but Shaun is well qualified to be in his post on fb.

Shaun was very helpful when he came to demonstrate. He also bought a selection of chairs for me to try. I’d had my mind set on a 06J but after trying it decided on the 10J as it felt more sturdy. I gave it a good run out yesterday and it was fantastic at getting up slightly raised curbs and brilliant at going up a steep hill. Shaun is also very good at giving help if you need it. I have messaged him a couple of times over things he did tell me but I forgot and he always responds in a couple of days if not straight away. My brother can lift the chair on his own into the car but my mum and I lift it together. I love the fact that it fits inside the boot without having to put the back seats down, which means I can now go out with the family.

A review from Sharon P.
I’ve had my J10 for over 6 months and I wanted to give it a good test before I wrote a review. I have been a wheelchair user for 10 years and I feel it’s extremely important to be able to read unbiased warts and all reviews on any chair you’re contemplating buying. Chairs are a big investment and you can fall into the trap of buying something totally unsuitable (I speak from bitter experience). I arranged a demo and Shaun arrived at my home with a chair. He’s a lovely guy I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to buy in anyway. I went on a test run which went ok. I’m used to a mid wheel drive but I got the hang of driving this quite quickly. Shaun answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable about the chairs. I decided to buy one. I chose a pink one and Shaun went above and beyond to make sure I got it within a week. My first trip out with it was to Skegness, then London. It handles well and is great for travelling on the train. I’ve had to tweak a few things to make it comfortable enough to spend most of the day in it and a good cushion makes all the difference. This really is a very good chair. It’s sturdy and the batteries can go on all day. Going round London sightseeing all day wasn’t a problem. The charger isn’t cumbersome and there’s a bag underneath to keep all the bits and pieces in. It’s pretty easy to fold and unfold and fit into the boot. It’s light compared to my other chair but it still needs a bit of muscle to lift it. If you’ve not driven a power-chair before give yourself time to get used to it. Overall I really like this chair. A couple of things to be wary of though. I found it started to runaway on some slopes that weren’t particularly steep be especially careful on drop kerbs when crossing roads. Some pavements that are cambered can be difficult to negotiate. For the most part though it handles well and I would recommend it.

It cost next to nothing really as you can’t put a price on your independence and what I get from this chair! It feels like a brand new chair.

A review from Donna R.
5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful people and service. Life changing product. 15 August 2019 This chair without a doubt, will change my life. I’ve spent forever looking for a foldable electric wheelchair and nothing was quite right. I’ve only managed to see one in a mobility shop and the pressure for a sale was obvious and quite uncomfortable. I stumbled across BP4D entirely by accident and contacted them regarding a demo. As buying an electric wheelchair is an investment and one I wanted to get right. Shaun was in the area and came out to see me later that day. He set up a chair let me have a go in it to see how it felt. He answered all my questions. Nothing was too much trouble. I was nervous about having a home demo Incase , there was pressure for a sale I’m terrible at saying no! But Shaun let the wheelchair speak for its self. You can tell that he’s passionate about his business and his products. I received my new chair today and not only is it foldable and electric, but it’s a beautiful colour too. It’s an added bonus to have a mobility aid that has a range of colours outside of blue,red and black. Bottom line: I’ve sat in a lot of wheelchairs in my life and this is by far the most comfortable and stylish and functional. It’s going to change my life and give me back my independence and most importantly it’s sold by a company that cares about their customers not just their sales. Thankyou so much BP4D! I’ll update this after Leeds festival:)

I contacted the company after seeing an advert on fb. They replied on the Saturday and by Monday lunch they were at my home with demonstration chairs. I had a good chat with Shaun initially as I was leaning towards a scooter however he advised due to my condition that would be unsuitable for me and not safe. I tried out u6 second hand which was a lovely chair but I was in need of something bigger. I tried the j19 gold and fell in love. Shaun was fantastic and extremely helpful and guided me through. There was no pressure to buy and he was so helpful in teaching me how to steer safe to say I need a lot of practice lol. The most important thing is that I have my independence back I will be able to go to the shops or take my kids for a walk. Definitely recommend 100%

A review from Jenny O. I have had my J10 chair since October 2017 , it has changed my life ! I have booked my first overseas holiday in 10 years and am so looking forward to it . I spent a long time thinking about this chair and saving up and in the end a dead scooter forced the issue , I know people say it’s expensive but the design , the style , the groove colours !, are all worth it but most of all the service from Better Products is exceptional . Friday (2 days ago ) I phoned to say I couldn’t get one of the batteries out of the frame , now on a day to day this makes no differences at all , it works on one or two batteries I can charge them one at a time etc, well I thought with going away in two weeks if the airport want me to take them out I will have a problem. Paul the engineer called me Saturday and came to me Sunday he managed to remove the stuck battery and gave me s new one . But also tightened up everything and did a service . I can’t thank him and the office enough , and also recommend that people get their chairs serviced regularly . Thanks again for getting me on holiday !

A review from Becci Louise F. I got the j10 in February this year I waited to review till after I had been to Florida in April it was amazing I went for two weeks and only had to charge it about 4 times loads of people asked me questions about where I got it and how kwl it was and how they had been looking for something similar for family members the only downside is yes it is one of the lightest electric chairs on the market but it is still quite heavy to lift in and out of the car I could do it on my own but it was hard work if u have a lot of upper body strength this probably isn’t a problem I consider myself to have normal maybe just above normal upper body strength if your car has a boot smaller or similar to a Ford Ka it won’t fit u need slightly bigger but to be fair it’s because of the slope on the boot lid of it wasn’t so slopped it would have fit but to be honest the chair is so worth it for all the perks it brings that these are very minor things so don’t let them put u off i have fibromyalgia and day to day I’m fine it’s because I do Disney holidays that I wanted it and I’m so glad I bought it now

A review from Alistair B. From the 1st contact I had with Shaun when in enquired about the folding wheelchair as I didn’t know what would be best for me or if I could get one that suited me Shayne made it simple! He is truly a genuine guy who wants to help you. He offered me a home demo of the chair to help me understand what I was getting, and spent time speaking to me about my needs and wants. He gave me truly great, factual advice. I was worried about the distance it can travel so wanted to buy additional batteries. Shaun advised me against this completely as it was not needed and even put a bet on with me that if he was wrong he would give me new batteries for free lol. The chair itself is amazing, it’s speedy but not overly so, comfortable and the best thing is exactly what i got it for it folds flat and can be put into the back of a car with ease. It folds so simply and elegantly that my 9year old can do it with just one hand(can’t ask for better than that). For anyone who is thinking that they can’t decide whither to get this or not. Don’t think anymore get a home demo and signed up for one ASAP as it’s a complete changer! Thanks again Shaun, I will continue to sing your praises as this is an amazing chair and the service you give is amazing. Very much appreciated. I can only find great possibilities for the versatility of this chair. Why on earth would you not see the good in this chair. Truly remarkable.Thanks again

A review from Gemma R I cannot thank you guys enough! Had my 10J chair for about a year now and it never seems to want to stop going. It has changed my life drastically and I have now finally gained the independence I needed; that confidence has shone through and has landed me a job with the ambulance service. I mainly dealt with David and could not have asked for a more friendly and approachable guy. He really looked after me and ensured that everything was 110% right before leaving me be. I’ve also recently joined lots of disabled people’s organisations and have passed on your details to them all. Hopefully I’ve helped you guys gain new customers as a way of paying back the appreciation! Thank you so much, it truly has been a game changer!

My Nan bought one from these and has told me it is the best thing she has ever owned it’s give her freedom she can go places alone instead of relying on people it’s reliable and comfortable. She is currently enjoying herself her self using this powerchair and I cannot thank you enough she seems so happy!!! Definitely worth every penny it’s very light easy to use and fold and put in a car if you haven’t seen or tried one it should be on your to do list !!!! Great deals great service great people !!!

A review from Karen S. Bought my red J6 in the summer. My chir is a real work horse, I fold it and unfold it at keast 4x daily. It travels in the boot of taxi's and gets me round work, shops, etc every day. I have no complaints. Believe me these guys give a good service. At the weekend I struggled to get the joy stick unit to connect. Think I had managed to bend a couple of the pins in the connector? Well tonight David came to my house after I finished work and fixed it. Checked it over, replaced the whole unit, including wires, replaced two front wheel bearings because I said I could hear a clicking. Gave it a good check over and even road tested it. NO CHARGE!! thank you so very much guys xxx — feeling happy.

A review from Michelle R. D I didn't review as soon as I got my chair as I wanted to give an honest appraisal and thought a few days away would be the perfect road test. What can I say that won't sound gushingly overboard. You know what? I am going to gush but I just love it as does my family!! Couldn't be easier to fold and open, bus driver was amazed with it and happily lifted it in and out the luggage hold the entire trip. The battery life is almost other worldly and I drove it from morning till night and never even used a 1/4 of the charge each day. It coped with uneven pavements and even some cobbles and a more comfortable chair I've never sat in. Each day I was able to go out with family without them having to push a chair and just to be able to wonder over to a shop window without asking someone to take me is just priceless. The company themselves couldn't of been more helpful in acquiring my chair and I thank BPFD with all my heart. P.S I have had many queries on where I got my chair and I've given your page details to them and told them they won't regret a purchase.

A review from Melita S. Recently returned from Vegas. It's quite hard to get around Vegas on an electric chair because the pavements are terrible and you have to go in so many lifts everytime you go anywhere! My wheelchair was brilliant though. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone. A lot of people asked me about it ( you should make up little cards Shaun Atkinson like Bose do) many commenting how good it was. I had booked a taxi pick up from the airport, I told them about the chair, but when we got there they insisted I had to travel in an ADA ( disability van) it took them 45 minutes to get it to the airport. They would not fold it up, said it was against Nevada law and I was trapped, safely bolted down in a van. I was humiliated! After that the taxi drivers who collected us from the hotel were more than happy to put it in the boot, most commenting how brilliant it is. Most of our travelling around Vegas was on the monorail. Each compartment had two wheelchair spaces. As I said many people commented on the chair, saying how nifty it is. No problems charging it and the batteries lasted ages. When we flew out the cabin crew were happy for the batteries to go in the bag I carry for them and the crew just popped them into a wardrobe, on the return trip the crew insisted on wrapping them individually into blankets and putting them in separate lockers!

A review from Stewart W. This may be quite a long review. I want to let you know how the 10J folding electric wheelchair has changed my life. I will leave the few bad points to the end. First you contact Better Products for the disabled on the internet. I then got a call from a lady who made sure I got to see the right chair for my height and weight. She made an appointment for David to come and demonstrate the chair at my home. Even after I had agreed to by the chair the demonstration continued and David made sure I had the chair set up for my needs. After 2 Weeks David returned with my set up chair and again spent a long time making sure I knew all there was to know about using it. Using the chair does take a little getting used to but after a few days I was ready to take it anywhere. The chair proved able to go anywhere I wanted it to do. You can use it in tight spaces because of its ability to turn in its own length.. I have used it on all sorts of surfaces and it has proved able to go on wet grass, loose gravel, quite steep hills, city and country. The battery power is more than adequate and the chair is comfortable for a days use. I had seriously reduced my activities but am now able to lead a very full life because I can get around. The chair is light enough for me to lift in and out of the car. It can easily be used on the Manchester trams and is strong enough for my rather heavy frame. I am often approached by people wanting to know where I got it from because they are impressed by how I am able to use the chair and how smart it looks. Now the bad points. There is a clip that you put on to stop the chair collapsing. It does this well when it is properly secured but it is all too easy to not attach it properly. It probably needs a re-design to make it work properly. There is a bag underneath the seat which can be scraped across the floor when the chair is folded. I have had some problems getting a replacement luggage bag from them. On the plus side I now have two bags to store the chair in. I think this was just a matter of bad communication which I may be not entirely at fault mainly because I have lost David’s phone number. In summary if you are finding your life is getting smaller because of walking problems then get one of these chairs and start a whole new life. I have just had a 2 week holiday in Scotland in town and country and the chair has performed incredibly well and I have as a result had a fabulous time.

My wheelchair did me proud today. Could see the hotel from the top if the stratosphere and decided we would come back via pathway. Very uneven in a lot of places but the scooter kept going. Rob found it hard going in some places with his bigger one.(Facebook 14/09/2017)
A review from Paddy R Unbelievable piece of equipment so handy for taking on flights and coaches. Relaxing with the foot rest up after coming to my hotel from the town in Serbink Croatia. The batteries are well protected inside the metal covers going down to the back wheels that is the batteries with the two we blue dots to press those lets you know what power is left in them. You remove the joystick unit in seconds and take that into the cabin with you there is nothing much can damage your chair once folded. Same in the coach luggage holds... great independance without needing someone to push. It made my holidays this year...

A review from Linda S. Excellent service from really friendly people, I had had a demonstration from Shaun a few weeks ago, dissapointed chair a bit small for me, however on Tuesday David brought a larger chair to demonstrate, absolutely ideal !! David took time to explain everything on the chair , took me outside for a trial run, nothing was too much trouble for him, even though it was pouring with rain! Today Saturday David has delivered my chair, he did not leave my home until he was satisfied I was comfy with my chair. Thank you so much to Shaun, Fiona and of course David, I am now not dependent on someone pushing me around ..(Facebook 09/09/2017)
A review from Dagmar S. I bought A j10 in red are year ago, as we live in Western Canada, we were not too sure of the delivery order of the service if ever needed. Took it to Mexico for two weeks and it performed excellent. As it was a very large resort are used it every day to explore and did not half to recharge it for the whole two weeks we were there. Just had an electrical problem and through emails and a short video to Shaun, The parts that were needed arrived at our door in about a week, install them and it's perfect again. So impressed with this chair it works well on grass also, it gives me so much freedom. Even though the hand control is very touchy side to side the more I use it the better it is getting. I would highly recommend the J 10 to everyone. Absolutely love my red chair and I always get compliments on this wheelchair (Facebook-07/09/2017)

A post from Paddy R : I have been using my new 10J now for a few weeks the reason for buying was for car boot and holiday use, especially air flights. I do have a larger heavy duty power chair, but not possible to take on flight or car boot for shopping. I do not drive so owning a wheelchair accessible car or van is not an option. Now with the 10J it fits the boot of all family members cars and I don't have to depend on someone to push my manual chair. It gives me total freedom to do my own thing once out of the car. My Heavy duty chair has been out of use lately waiting on new batteries and I have been using my 10J. It may not have the speed ratio or the mileage distance as my 10J but I find it a great substitute till my HD Chair is back in action and I can reserve my 10J for those special duties. Thank you to Shane and Staff at B P F D P. for all your help and assistance when I was buying my 10J and I would recommend it to all with limited mobility - best money I ever spent . .(Facebook Better Products page- visitor post-03/08/2017)
A post from Gemma R fundraising :
...I have recently found the perfect chair for me by ‘Better Products for Disabled People’. It has some amazing abilities and for me, it would be incredibly liberating. It can travel over all terrains, from rocky cobbles to smooth inclines of grass! With 5 gears and suspension it can tackle hills at (12 degree?) incline. That would mean no more tired out carers from pushing me up big hills! But overall, what makes this chair the only one for me is its capability to fold away and be stored in the boot of my car whilst the batteries charge inside the house, THAT’S RIGHT IT HAS DETATCHABLE BATTERIES! I can actually charge it in my house this time! (https://www.gofundme.com/gemmas-electric-wheelchair-fundpage- 20/07/2017)

A review from Eileen L.: Great on grass. Only had a short ride on gravel but was ok. The only thing that's not suitable is sand and of course freshly dug earth.... it's a life changer for us. I like the fact that it folds up flatter than the manual and can be put into the boot of any car. We took delivery of ours on Friday. All I can say is that it's fantastic. Already changed our lives. I usually push my husband in a manual chair but was finding it difficult uphill. Because of this it stopped us from going places and doing things. Since Friday we have been out for long walks to enable him to get used to the controls and get his confidence. Already he is enjoying talking to people and stopping to watch the wildlife and admire people's gardens. This will really help us when travelling or going out for days. It takes up less room when folded than his manual chair..... Go for it !!!! These chairs are great indoors too x (Facebook Better Products page-11-12/07/2017)
A review from Tina C : Had my 10J since January, but only started using it in the last couple of months. It is amazing and never seems to lose charge! The controls are so sensitive so the adverse camber of pavements is something I'm trying to get used to, but that's my perception, the chair copes really well and as I practise more, I gain in confidence. I cannot tell you the difference it has made. To be able to go out when and if I want. I went to the park on my own, just to chill, the chair managed the paths, slopes and the grass with ease. Then off to the pub and a taxi home if one too many, without the worry of will it fit in the taxi boot. This chair is a life changer! Get one, you won't regret it.

A review from Eileen L. So easy to fold and unfold. If you take batteries out it's much easier and lighter to lift. Batteries slide out easily as they're under each armrest. You can use one battery and charge the other or charge both together. I like the fact that it can be put into manual if needed and the controls can be moved or taken off very easily. The control can be put on the back if you need a carer to drive it for you. We've just had a demonstration at our home and are very impressed. So much so we have one on order. It will change my life as well as my husband's. I am finding it increasingly difficult pushing a manual chair especially up hill. x (09/05/2017) Just waiting for ours to arrive. Can't wait. It will change my husband's life and of course make mine easier too. No more trying to push the manual chair uphill. It will allow us to do more things and is brilliant for holidays. It actually takes less room when folded than the manual. If you want to make it even more easy to lift into boot.. Its so easy to slide batteries out from under each arm rest which takes around six pounds off the weight. Just fantastic.(11/06/2017-Facebook) Yes can be used in the rain... Only thing you don't drive on is sand (11/06/2017-Facebook)

It's only a 3 step process to fold up and the J Series is so compact it fit into any compact car. The batteries are long lasting I rarely have to charge it. I love my J Series to death.

A review from Joe Smith I can't recommend this chair highly enough, it changed my life. I've never run mine continuously till the batteries run out but it goes some between charges, it's limited to about 4 mph, which is quick enough, folds to fit in any car, and overall is a fab product. Had mine just coming up to a year. (14 May at 17:21-Facebook)
A review from Fiona S: We've had Shaun's 3 days now and so far it is great. I have no problem getting it in and out of the boot. We went to London on the train today. We were out for 7 1/2 hours. Very pleased so far. (15/05/2017-Facebook)
A review from Laura K.: I love my chair. Again battery life is just amazing. I got up to London on the train for hospital appointments all around back home, around the local town and still it's on green!! X (13/05/2017-Facebook page)
A review from Fiona Rutt I thought long and hard before buying a new chair because I'd bought several which failed on various fronts, mainly transporting and actually doing what it needed. Then I found Better-products for disabled people's folding chairs. I now have a blue J10 which given my MS seemed to fit the bill. Folding so in the boot no problem light enough for me to lift in, practical coped with public transport , children's farm (grass and shingle pathways) local trips to shops hospitals etc. Battery life astounds me still...(05/05/2017-Facebook ) I've had my j10 on great northern east coast trains no problem (12/05/2017-Facebook)
A review from Dagmar Schwientek: We bought a red one last year and I'm so happy with mine that chair is the best chair I ever bought!! We just came back from a holiday from Mexico and had so much fun with it, we took it everywhere we went. We live in Canada and so many people are asking me where I bought my chair ☺️ thanks again Shaun (21/04/2017-Facebook)

A review from Caroline Birch: Customer service is second to none. I needed some bolts that had come off my wheelchair and received them free of charge and was even offered for someone to come and put them on for me. Can't say a bad word about the products or the staff! What can I say. I love my wheelchair ☺️ (Facebook-15/04/2017)

A review from Stephen McChrystal: Hello again. You can quote me on this: Since owning one of the chairs I've had superb after-sales support from Shaun, the director. Recently, after having an accident with the charger, a replacement arrived the following day. Now that is customer service. The chair continues to be a real asset to my independence.

From Karen H- Facebook review I am having an amazing time in my chair, great independence, and it is fun to. I have been on all sorts of terrain and it has coped really well. It does not like shingle paths bit to slidey though lol. I have had loads of people compliment it, as they are surprised at how easy it is to fold up and down, in just a few seconds. (Facebook-better products page- 06/04/2017)
From Jane Butcher- Facebook review Just had our free demo, had an hour testing both size chairs, Ben lived it was able to manoeuvre the chair easily and confidently. Folds so simply and light enough to lift in and out of the car. Dave was extremely patient and explained and demonstrated everything clearly and simply, we've ordered one!

From Wendy Walton- Facebook reviewI managed to afford mine by fundraising worth every penny don't knock it till you have tried it! It's the best wheelchairs on the market I am an amputee and I would be lost without mine it gives me my independence back I can fold and unfold the chair on my own give it a try and see for yourself we don't choose our disabilities but we can improve our independence... They are brilliant and worth the money...(Facebook-better products page-30/03/2017)
From Peggy Pryer- Facebook review A friend has just had one of these delivered and a pink one too which was exactly what she wanted. It is making such a difference to her life already. Well done Shaun and your team, it was delivered within two days of me sending you my friend's phone number, what a service! (Facebook -better products page-02/01/2017)

From- Melita Sheppard-Facebook review I love my new scooter. I have taken it into many different locations and it hasn't failed me yet. Took it to Exbury gardens a couple of weeks ago, it managed most of the terrain really well. I was impressed. Like other scooters it wasn't keen on gravel but it coped really well with transition from concrete pathways to forest. I have also been shopping with it. It's much easier to load into my adapted car using the ramp than my precious power chair. My friend who is often with me when i go out has expressed the same. It folds really easily, and is so much sturdier than other small scooters. I have another which I won't name that folds, but ai felt very low on it. This scooter keeps you higher so you are easier to see. Love it. (Facebook -better products page-31/10/2016)
From- Jackie Murphy-Facebook review I use a electric wheelchair outdoors for distances of more than ten minutes due to chronic pain. This wasn't an easy decision to make, but I had become a bit of a recluse, reluctant to leave home. That chair changed my life. However it was too big for travelling. A friend recommended better products for disabled people as my partner had booked a cruise and I wouldn't go without the chair. Shaun offered a free demo but because of the distance (I live in Dorset) and time factors this wasn't possible. So he offered me a money back guarantee if I wasn't completely happy. So I ordered a J10 as I'm a larger lady, and went ahead with the holiday. It was easy to take on a plane, I had to detach the batteries to take on as hand luggage, which was a bit fiddly, but this improves with practice. The hand controller is very easy to remove. There is a handy bag under the wheelchair to store bits, but I put it into my hand luggage with the batteries. The taxi from the airport was a tight fit with two large suitcases as well, but it did fit in the front passenger seat as advertised. My partner has health problems too, so cannot lift, but the driver managed almost single handed, and she didn't swear at me! There were no problems at all on the cruise, and in fact, drew a lot of attention. Other chair users had big and bulky machines which had to be kept in their cabins. Mine slid under the bed! It folds as easy as the videos show, but it's a bit tricky to get it to stand up still. I think this needs a bit more practice on my part. I was allowed to go on coach trips which other passengers weren't able to do, and the coach drivers just picked the chair up to stow it in the hold without folding it! Negatives! It's not as comfortable as my big wheelchair. It beeps at you when you least expect it. But it has all the easy handling and movement of my regular chair, but isn't as fast. I would totally recommend this as an addition for travelling, or even for regular use if space is tight at home (it's now stored in my meter cupboard until my next trip). I've scratched the paint on the footrest, but that's why I got a black chair. I'm quite clumsy. (Facebook-better products page 28/10/2016)
From- Peggy P. -Facebook review Have had my electric wheelchair from Shaun for over three months now. Brilliant aid to my mobility! If only It had been available all those years ago (28 now), when I first needed wheels under me to get around. The major difference between this chair and other aids I have used, (electric scooters and a standard electric wheelchair), apart from it folding,(brilliant when travelling on packed Virgin trains as I did in June), is the fact it turns on itself making turning around in a very limited area a doddle. Ideal particularly when shopping! Shaun is a remarkable man. If only he had been around when I first needed wheels to aid my mobility. I have met many 'Sharks' out there in the field of selling mobility aids. All they have been interested in has been making money from unfortunate people like me. They have had no interest in ensuring the product met the needs of the individual, unlike Shaun! Just comparing what Shaun is selling his electric wheelchairs for in relation to other much publicised companies out there says it all for me, nearly £1000 difference! Thanks Shaun for all you are doing to make life more bearable for many people like me! (Facebook-02/10/2016)
From- one of our customers -Facebook review (Wendy W) If anyone is interested in these wheelchairs then you need to book a demo I have just had mine, let's put it this way it's the best wheelchair I have ever seen it is perfect for me fits in the car with the hoist with no problem. Shaun and his lovely wife were fantastic they came all the way from Blackpool to Nottingham to show me. To be honest I was already hooked by the videos and feedback by other happy customers mine is now on order (25/08/2016-Facebook post)
From- one of our customers reviews Have had my yellow 10J for a while now & I am really pleased with the quality, service & value I have received from Shaun & co who I have met a number of times.
The chair is perfect for town centre shopping & is also equally at home on dry grass & lightly gravelled ground.
I was also able to order a carry bag for the chair which will help protect it from baggage handlers when I go on holiday. This chair will pay for itself as hiring a chair everytime I go abroad costs about £140 for a week as a scooter would not be appropriate for my needs.
To Keep this a balanced review I just want to mention the only niggle I have come across; regular electric wheelchair users will notice that the hand controller is not as responsive as other standard built electric wheelchairs & does take a while to get used to. However, this must be put into context as this is a travel chair, a third of the price of an average chair supplied by the NHS & is a just quarter of the weight.
A great buy. (07/08/2016)
From- one of our customers -check it on main page -reviews Excellent Customer Service I ordered and paid for a great pink wheelchair after a demo with Shaun. Unfortunately, when it arrived it wasn't big enough to fit my ample frame comfortably, although we had hoped it would be with a couple of adaptions. I let Shaun know and he just picked it up and refunded me in full today. He is a caring and trustworthy guy who does his best to get things sorted for his customers. Couldn't ask for more and he will keep an eye open for a solution to my folding wheelchair needs. Well done. :) JW (28/07/2016)
From- one of our customers -check it on main page -reviews Great Company - Great Chair Can't fault the service or product. I was lent a demonstration chair whilst my new one was being shipped from the manufacturer. It's comfortable, easy to fold and good quality. Love it! (15/06/2016)
From Edd Fairchild Absolutely love my new wheelchair. I’ve got an NHS electric chair which is brilliant but it can be a pain when I want to go away as its too big and bulky to take on a plane. This means I have to be pushed or even worse hire a scooter which is totally unsuitable as I cant get off it and walk anywhere - this makes me feel very excluded. Found this wheelchair and love it. Service has been great and am even more pleased to find that this chair fits into a Smart Car boot! Honestly!! Will add a picture in a few days.

From Robert (stanbrihno)Hello Graham, it's been going really well. One of the connectors for the batteries was bent which was the reason it wouldn't move to begin with. We have tested it across some very bumpy ground and it's been brilliant. Easy to fold to get into the car and admired by many people. It now looks loves and used with a couple of the black caps missing but it's the only one around my city and it's made a world of difference to where I get to go and how independent I can be. It's given me some of the world back to explore. Many thanks x (01/05/2016-ebay)
From Alan Mandall Crawley Purchased wheelchair 2 months ago Great purchase easy to use and fold up for transport had my doubts but glad I did only one niggle heavy.but over came problem now no problems would recommend.(27/04/2016)
From Stephen McChrystal 'Hello Shaun and the team. I have now owned my new wheelchair for over two months. The best thing about it is the way it folds up. It folds to the size of a chunky suitcase in one movement and fits neatly into the back of the car. We even had it in the back of one of those tiny Toyota things. Its manoeuvrability is precise and positive while the battery life means I can just leave it a long time between charges. I love the colour and the design. Like all rear wheel steering free rotating front wheel wheelchairs, it can go a bit astray on undulating surfaces. It likes flat pavements with no camber. It's not impossible to steer it around the uneven pavements of my home town; it just needs a bit of practice-slow is best. I made my wheelchair bus debut last week with no problems while I can get around indoors very well. It's well made, well designed and reasonably priced. Thank-you, Steve.'(21/04/2016)
From M.M. BETTER PRODUCTS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE 'If anyone is thinking about getting one of these wheelchairs don't think to long it will change your life it will give you back your independence we purchased 3 of these for our residents 2 months ago and they have never looked back they have given them a Lifeline to the outside world again we was a bit unsure about getting them at first but we spoke to the Seller and he came and did a demonstration he has to be the Nicest man you will ever meet he took time, care and answered all our questions. And another good point with these wheelchairs is folding them up and putting them in the boot of any car because they fold up that small you can even take them on the plane so if you just need that little extra support when you just can't make it in your steps just get one of these wheelchairs and start to live again.'

From Emma Major Folding Electric Wheelchair BPDP 10J Review A month ago my folding electric wheelchair arrived from Better Products for Disabled People. I invested my back dated Personal Independence Payment into this purchase after finally agreeing with Occupational Therapists that an electric wheelchair would broaden my life beyond what I could enjoy with my mobility scooter.
I tried lots of different electric wheelchairs before deciding to ask for a trial of the BPDP10J but all of them had one major drawback, they wouldn't fit in our car, let alone in a smaller car. My goal for the electric wheelchair was to get out and about more with friends in their cars and for work using taxis; but the conventional power chair market had nothing which could help with this. It was the folding aspect of the BPDP10J which appealed to me and made it something worth trying.
I emailed BPDJ and spoke to Shaun who said he had a customer who would happily bring his wheelchair to me to try. Within a few days Alan and his wonderful wife arrived at my house with his BPDP10J wheelchair, unloaded it, opened it and invited me to have a spin. I couldn't believe how easy it was for Alan to get the wheelchair out of his car and was amazed by the simple way it opened up ready for use. I had a slow, and then quicker, spin around the close outside my home and was sold almost straight away. My only concern was that the footplate was small and meant I couldn't get my legs comfortable, which I knew would become a major issue with my MS pain. Alan said that BPDP were looking at making larger footplates and I should speak to Shaun, which I did who said he would make it happen for me, no problem at all.
I can not overestimate the benefit of speaking to someone like Alan who is also disabled and seeing the chair in action; or the positivity of Shaun at BPDP in every conversation we ever had and the way he completely understood what my issues were and what I needed. I was concerned that I would be getting the first of the newly designed models, but was reassured that they would make sure the chair would be altered to meet my needs. I was safe in their hands.
The worst part of the whole experience from enquiry to trial to order to delivery was the wait to get the 10J model; it seemed to take forever to arrive from China and make it through customs. But it was worth the wait, which actually was less than 3 weeks, to have the first of the newest specification models with the larger footplate; it is wonderful.
Over the last 3 weeks I have tested the BPDP10J all over the place. I started around the house but quickly decided I needed a larger space to practice my turning skills, especially my reversing. I think this was as much to do with my hand eye coordination, extremely minimal eye sight and confidence than anything.
We decided that the best place to go would be our local supermarket and I put a warning on Facebook for everyone so that they knew the yellow peril (Alan named us thus) was on the move. I know the store well and have taken my mobility scooter there quite a few times and therefore this was a good place to compare and contrast as well as try out the BPDP10J maneuverability.
Mike and I were both really impressed with how little space it needed in the boot of the car. It could probably fit behind a front seat if no one was in the back, but we haven't tried that out. In the supermarket I was shocked by how much better it could get round obstacles and corners, it literally turns on a penny if I get my hand eye coordination sorted. It can get through much smaller spaces and is much smoother as well as a much more comfortable position, leaving me less tired and therefore more able to cope with the other MS symptoms. The yellow colour did nothing to help people see me, but I've decided that that's as much to do with being lower and disabled people being invisible than anything else.
I took the 10J to a garden centre, a local coffee shop, to a restaurant, to the theatre, to a scouting meeting and to church over the next few days and the only problems I encountered were that it doesn't cope so well offroad and that everyone wants a go!!
Then this past week we have been on holiday in Lancashire. We were staying in a beautiful cottage in the countryside and we took both the mobility scooter and the BPDP10J. The plan was to use the mobility scooter around the farm and anywhere with offroad type elements; and use the wheelchair everywhere else. Over the week I took it all over Blackpool with great success along the promenade, across tram tracks, down the piers, through arcades and shops and into restaurants; around Manchester city centre and across to the old UMIST campus; to a number of different restaurants where it was always the most comfortable seat in the place; and I even got down to the lamb pens on the farm which I really didn't expect to manage.
So, in case you haven't guessed, my verdict is that the BPDP10J is brilliant. It fits in pretty much any car, it goes on for miles and miles, it's really comfortable and easy to use and it looks cool too. I won't use it for a walk in the woods, but pretty much everywhere else it is my wheels of choice.
I have received no remuneration for this review, but Better Products for Disabled People have made a £100 donation to the MS Trust in my name. (03/06/2016) Emma's Blog-MS CALLING
