Very true! I neglected to say that the Victory 10 - 3 wheel is the only one I use! to me it's so much easier to get around and maneuver with. As far as the weight goes for me, I can't lift anything heavy because my knees can't handle the weight and my husband is 65 and not in the best shape so it was very hard for us to get this thing in and out of the van...we did manage with a lot of tugging and pulling. Between the two batteries, the monster chair, the main body and the wheel assembly he was pooped! lol
