Who does the Q500 M suit?
- A rider within 300 lb (136 kg) needing a compact base.

Frequently asked questions
Can C-Me be used on a ramp?
No; raised driving is limited to level, hard floors and pavement.
Can a rider stay in the chair in a van?
Only with a compliant tie-down and occupant belt; a vehicle seat is preferred.
Who pays the repair labour?
The rider pays labour even when the part is covered. Frame coverage is 5 years.
Will every route reach 13.5 miles?
That test uses level ground, new batteries and a 220 lb (100 kg) rider. Hills and cold shorten it.
