Quick Answer
Golden Stride GP301 Folding Power Wheelchair
The Golden Stride GP301 is an aluminum-frame folding power wheelchair designed for everyday comfort and vehicle transport. It weighs 58 lb assembled and as little as 52.6 lb when the removable battery, joystick, cushion and bag are excluded.
Front and rear comfort spring suspension, a tall back and a removable padded cushion make the Stride a practical choice for appointments, shopping and maintained outdoor paths.
Who Is the Golden Stride GP301 For?
Best for: users who want a folding aluminum power chair with spring suspension, simple controls and a compact storage position. It folds in one step and can stand upright when stored.
May not be best for: users who prioritize the lowest possible lifting weight, where the carbon fiber Golden Cricket GP302 is lighter. If a specific turning circle or weight-capacity requirement is central to your decision, please contact Care Made so the current Canadian specification can be confirmed before ordering.
Comfort and Travel
The joystick includes a USB charging port, while under-seat storage and a rear seat pocket keep daily items close at hand. Golden describes the 10Ah lithium-ion battery as airline-approved, although travellers must still confirm acceptance with their airline.

The lift, before anything else
Fifty two pounds, and that is the whole of it.
Ready to drive, the Stride is 58.0 lb. Take off the battery, the joystick, the cushion and the bag and what is left weighs 52.6 lb. It folds as one piece and comes apart no further, so 52.6 lb is the heaviest thing you will ever have to lift.
iYou do not always have to lift it. Freewheel mode releases the drive, so the chair rolls by hand across a room or up a ramp.
Into the car
One step to fold, and it stands on its end.
Nothing unbolts and nothing comes away to make it fold, so there are no loose pieces to keep track of in the trunk. The length and the width stay as they are. The height is what drops.
- ✓15.7 in tall foldedFolded, it measures 42.5 in long by 24.4 in wide by 15.7 in tall
- ✓It stands on its endParks upright against a wall instead of lying flat, so it takes a corner rather than a floor
- ✓The battery lifts out3.8 lb on its own, so it can travel separately from the frame
iFlying with it. Golden calls the 10 Ah lithium ion pack airline approved, and it comes out in seconds. Battery rules vary by airline, so confirm with yours before you book.
The seat, and the doors
Seventeen inches of seat, on a chair twenty four inches wide.
The seat is 17 in wide and 18 in deep, with a removable padded cushion on a sling back. The back stands 16 in above the seat and the seat sits 22 in off the ground, so it is a small step up rather than a drop down. At its widest the chair is 24.4 in, and that is the number your doorways care about.
Front door
36 inThe usual front door
✓Straight through. That leaves 11.6 in to spare.
Interior door
32 inThe standard door inside a house
✓Straight through. That leaves 7.6 in, enough to come at it slightly on the angle.
Narrow bathroom door
24.5 inThe tightest door in an older home
≈Too close to call. The chair is 24.4 in and the opening is 24.5 in. A tenth of an inch is trim and door stops, not the chair.
iWhere it is happiest. It runs 12 in drive wheels at the back, 8 in casters at the front and comfort spring suspension at both ends, so a sidewalk join is something it rolls over rather than stops at. Ground clearance is 1.6 in, which makes this a chair for smooth floors, sidewalks and maintained paths, and that is where most days happen.
One charge
Fifteen kilometres on one charge.
Golden publishes up to 15 km on one charge, on level ground and in good conditions, so an ordinary day usually comes in under it. Four things move that number.
- ✓Your weight, and what you carryMore load on board means fewer kilometres
- ✓The surface you drive onSmooth pavement goes further than gravel or grass
- ✓Hills and rough groundClimbing and bumping both draw harder on the pack
- ✓Cold weatherEvery lithium battery gives back less in the cold, and a Canadian February is where you notice it
iWhat is behind it. A single lithium ion pack on a 2 amp off board charger, so it charges away from the chair. Top speed is 6 km/h, on rear wheel drive with electronic speed control, electro-mechanical brakes and a 50 amp controller.
