Hi all

For some time now I've been looking for a new chair,I have decided that its either the Kushall K4 or the Quickie Helium.Does anyone have the Quickie Helium and is it really as good as it looks?

Yes got one (had it about a month) and it's even better than it looks. I've been blown away with how good it is. It weighs virtually nothing, even compared to my Quickie Ti which was seriously light. Love the brake operation (no fiddling about under your seat to put them on/off but they still stay out of the way of your thumbs), worth paying for the bolted on brakes. Don't get the lightweight back as it's very shallow and doesn't give you any room to let the canvas out to sit back into the backrest. I didn't get their wheels either preferring to stick with spinergy which while a bit heavier are much easier to grip with the wide spoke spacings when getting in and out of the car. Carbon fibre sideguards look great but are a pure extravagance (but who could resist?) and the upgrade upholstery is well worth it.

Very very pleased with it.
