Travel Buggy vs Thrive

SHOP THE WORLD'S LIGHTEST POWER CHAIR: THE AEROLUX CARBON!

CITY 2 PLUS

Stronger and more powerful, yet even lighter than the Thrive. Batteries are a major differentiator. Two batteries power the CITY 2 PLUS giving it increased range, yet well under air travel restrictions. 250 Watt brushless motors coupled with premium 360 degree controls allow increased efficiency and maneuverability around tight corners. Adjustability (footrest, seat width, joystick) plus a weight capacity of 395 lbs makes it perfect for larger/taller users.

THRIVE

With no dedicated website, customer service number, or even accurate returns and warranty information, it is very difficult to compare it with any Travel Buggy model. The CITY 2 PLUS has 1000s of reviews of happy customer, but there are no reviews to validate the quality of Thrive wheelchairs. Availability of replacement parts may also be an issue since there is no official website of the company.

Barb's Wheechair Review of Travel Buggy

Kind of Cool!

We are back from Cape Breton and the travel buggy performed well. I used the buggy through Toronto airport and right up to the plane door.

Barbara N.,

The chair has allowed me freedom and independence

I wanted the chair to give me mobility to go shopping, using the chair from my car, and taking the chair with me when flying. The chair meets all of these requirements and has allowed me freedom and independence.

The Travel Buggy is incredible!

I have the City model and it’s AWESOME!! It truly is as lightweight, easily-compactible, and versatile as the website says! I’ve taken it all over Edmonton, and even took it onto hiking trails (some paved, some not) in Jasper!

Rosie T.,

It was local and amazingly affordable

For long excursions such as the Edmonton Comic Expo, a regular wheelchair just couldn’t cut it with having to wheel myself or having someone else wheel me around. Just didn’t seem right.

Thanks again for your help!

I couldn’t get to class independently on a regular basis; I had to rely on friends to push me through the snow. This chair has helped a lot. Having the Travel Buggy means I can be a lot more independent, and takes away some of the stress of planning out my days to figure out who can help get me to class!
