I can do stairs quite confidently now.

when i started astairs seemed impossible but as you become more natural stair will be as easy as they always were.. going up them anyway

going down stairs is a different matter. The bottom of the springs may get in the way, sogoing side on may be needed

Stairs are just another obsticle and learning to master a new chalange is whats making learning fun. If you can't walk them, put as much pads on as possible and do it anyway.

Hi Mate

I've been power rising since last September and have become pretty confidence.  Stairs are no problem, and in actual fact you can clear 2 - 3 stairs at a time.

Do not hesitate in buying a pair, you will love them.  I'm totally addicted.

All the best - Ivan
