My DD has always had her own (very obviously custom) wheelchair.We did have moms own wheelchair- It was mentioned to me that if you use your own wheelchair not a ECV guests & some CMs treat you better. I don't know if this is true or not.
That has not stopped some of the other guests from making comments though.
There are people who will say something, no matter what.
Anyone who would be upset by it does not have an opinion worth anything.I hope I didn't upset anyone by renting an ECV. It would have been faster it I could have walked it. Using an ECV is not as easy as some people think.

Interestingly, in some of those 'anti-wheelchair or ECV' threads, there is usually someone who writes that they used to be one of the most vocal complainers about ECVs, until they had to use one and found out that the 'perks' they thought would be there are not. And, as you posted, they usually find it's not as easy to get around as they thought.
I think you are right.you know what i realized? I was just going through some of the pics posted on the CB forum, and i did not see a SINGLE person in an ECV in any pictures! people keep complaining about scooter users, and yet I cannot find any of them in pics... so either there is a conspiracy to keep people in scooters from being photographed, or it is not nearly as big a deal as people say!
i think, personally, that people are just looking for something to complain about!
