Downtown Fredericton here I come!

Here it is. My first official test ride in my new wheelchair. Like I said in the video I have had the wheelchair for a couple months but basically only used it around my house, gym and grocery store. This is the first time taking it out on the town for a good rip. I must say it was a nice day for it!
The pushes real smooth and I can definitely feel the difference in weight. My previous chair weighed 26lbs and the new APEX weighs in at 22lbs. A difference of 4lbs doesn't seem like a lot but I sure can the difference when lifting it up in my vehicle and pushing around own.
