"Right to Repair Power Wheelchair" survey seeks feedback from SCI community

Many powered wheelchair manufacturers restrict access to repairs to the consumers, meaning it can delay immediate fixing of these crucial mobility devices. Many of the requested repairs are simple fixes like batteries, wheels, joysticks and bearings. But if service delays drag, wheelchair users need to be able to access the materials to get them moving again on their own.  US PIRG is advocating for legislation that would require powered wheelchair manufacturers provide the software, tools, documentation, and parts needed for owners and independent fixers to fix their wheelchairs. They are hoping to better understand how this issue affects powered wheelchair users to help guide their advocacy efforts. If you are a powered wheelchair user, you can take a 2 minute survey to help them better identify the barriers to repair that you may face. This information will be used to help advance current Wheelchair Right to Repair legislation in Colorado and to push for change across the country.
