Quickie Ti

Thanks to Jimmer Johnson for this review!!

I have so many rigid's that I could probably be called a collector now. My most recent addition was the Quickie TI. I must tell everyone that this is the chair. If you really put your "everyday" chair through hell, I promise you that the TI will survive anything you can do to it while sitting in it.

I have an XTR for hard core outdoor fun, but recently it's just been sitting in the guest bedroom of my pad because I use the TI for everything.

I bought it to get in and out of the car easier for school and such, but I really put it through even the rough terrain all the time. Highly recommended ladies and gents!

The Quickie® Ti Titanium is the latest addition to the family of ultra-lightweight rigid chairs. Using lightweight titanium tubing, a minimalist design, and several patented features, our engineers have succeeded in developing the perfect balance between form and function. With a chair weight averaging between 15 and 17 lbs., the Quickie Ti Titanium is the best choice for today's active user.

Jennifer Delgado, you are a star - thanks for the review!

One week of using my new Quickie TI and I have yet to find any faults with it. I used the older (boxy frame) version for the past 7 1/2 years and the new version blows it away hands down. It seems a few pounds lighter but what really impresses me is the cantilever frame allows me to load and unload it in my car without having to push my seat back all the way. I have spinergy rims on it and can easily pick up the chair with wheels with one hand.

I've gotten a few comments from work and while out with friends this past weekend about it as well. My hubby thinks it looks cool without the extra tubes running across the bottom of the frame. I have to agree.

If given the chance and you can get insurance to pay for it or if you want to pay for it out of pocket, it is TOTALLY worth it.

I only wish I had looked into getting a new chair sooner.

Cheers to Ramon for this review!!

I've been using my TI for the past week. I finally got it adjusted to my liking.

Strengths:

1. Extremely light with Spinergy wheels

2. Easy to carry over you to bring into a standard car

3. Easily goes over thresholds and such due to the flex the open titanium frame allows

4. High pressure tires and light weight makes for effortless propelling even going up hills

5. Easy to adjust

Weaknesses:

1. Seems to flex a little too much, it's actually kind of eerie when you push up to a wall and push the footrest into it, you can really see just how much it flexes

2. When going fast on rough pavement, it seems that the flexing frame causes my footrests to vibrate much more than in my GPV and I have to make sure my feet don't come off the footrest

3. I can't use my wooden block to steer with my left foot which means I can't drive with one arm like I can in my GPV

I still need to get more used to it. I had my GPV for 8-years and it took me quite a while before I was totally used to it. I figure, in 2-months or so, I'll feel the same about the TI. Of course, by then, I might have my Airlite Pro. A little heavier but doesn't flex.
