Yes, it’s pricy!! 😖
More seating would absolutely help many. It just depends what challenges life has thrown their way.

They demo’ed that it should catch you falling forward, and the seatbelt will hold you. I’m not sure about sideways. Obviously, we haven’t tested either as scenario.
It’s biggest limitations are hills and off-road. It can go any place a normal unpowered wheelchair can go. My wife has used the Zeen on grass… possible but exhausting!

My wife recently got one, and had found it liberating. Her condition has caused both balance and stamina issues. We used to bring both a walker and a wheelchair everywhere we went. Her Zeen has made a major improvement in both our lives.
