Can I get it with left hand control?

Absolutely. The joystick can be mounted on either the right or left arm. There is a receiver under each arm and an adjustment screw to tighten the joystick. There is a video on YouTube that shows you, step by step, how to assemble the chair when you receive it. Hope this helps, Sincerely, Bill Fitzsimmons, President Core Medical Products, Inc.

My chair soon looses a green light, but if i switch it on and back on it shows fully charged. Does anyone else have this problem

Hi, my wife has been using a Pride Go-Chair for over 12 years. She usually charges it when she goes to bed and the charge will last all day and then some on regular use around the house. We also go shopping or out to the casino for 3 - 4 hours at a time with no problems. NOW the batteries usually last about 1 to 1.5 years and then you see the green light indicator dropping off faster than normal. It seems this keeps happening more often and you then have to change the batteries. I get them from Amazon and it is easy to replace them. Take our the battery pack, undo the small screws, open and remove and replace the batteries making sure the wires are put on the same. Resemble and then it is recommended to fully charge the batteries. I like the gel pack ones. Anyhow, this works and we have more than 10 friends or associates that we have met that have bought the Go-Chair. Hope that helps. KB

Has anyone had any problem with the battery pack latch breaking?

No. We travel 2 weeks in Europe with this chair. You have to take the battery out everytime you board a plane. My son has had it about 9 months and has had NO problems.
