The lift, before anything else
Forty nine pounds, and the packs lift out first.
The chair weighs 49 lb. That is a two hand lift, the kind most people manage with a knee against the bumper and a moment to set it down. Both battery packs are quick release, so you can take them out and carry them separately rather than carrying everything at once.
- ✓It does not always have to be liftedOne button switches the chair to manual mode, so it pushes by hand like an ordinary wheelchair
- ✓Nothing has to come apartNo tools, and no second half to carry. It is one trip out and one trip back
Into the car
Folds to twenty eight inches by sixteen.
Folded, the Out & About takes up 28 in of length and 16.1 in of width. At 16.1 in across it goes into most trunks sideways rather than lengthwise, and that is usually the difference between a chair that fits and one that does not.
- ✓The backrest folds downThe frame then closes on itself. No tools, and nothing loose left over on the driveway
- ✓The armrests and footrests reverseBoth are reversible and the armrests fold, which is part of how it closes to 16.1 in across
The seat
Fifteen point seven inches across, built for a smaller frame.
The seat is 15.7 in wide and 16.5 in deep, with a backrest 15.6 in tall. It is a narrow seat. Measure across your hips while you are sitting down: at about 15 in or less, and under the 220 lb capacity, this chair fits you properly.
iGetting in and out. The seat sits 19.7 in off the floor, about the height of a dining chair, so moving across to it is a sideways shift rather than a climb.
Doorways
Twenty six inches wide, which clears a standard door.
Set up and ready to drive, the chair measures 26.4 in wide, 41.7 in long and 35.4 in tall. Here is how that 26.4 in reads against the three doorways people ask us about.
Front door
36 inThe usual front door
✓Straight through. About 9.6 in to spare.
Interior door
32 inThe standard door inside a house
✓Straight through. About 5.6 in of room, enough to drive in without lining up first.
Narrow bathroom door
24.5 inThe tightest door in an older home
×Not this one. The chair is about 1.9 in wider than the opening.
One charge
Twenty kilometres, on two batteries instead of one.
Most folding power chairs carry one battery. This one carries two quick release 24 V 10.4 Ah lithium packs, both included, and together they cover up to 20 km. Top speed is 6 km/h, a walking pace, which is right for a shop floor or a sidewalk. Read the 20 km as a best case: fresh packs, a flat dry route and a mild day. Three things move it.
- ✓Your weight, and what you carryThe chair is rated to 220 lb, and a heavier load shortens the run
- ✓The ground under youAir filled tires on 8 in front and 12 in rear wheels take the edge off a rough sidewalk
- ✓Cold, and how the packs are looked afterEvery lithium battery gives back less in the cold. Both packs come off and charge indoors, and charging after an outing rather than running them flat is what keeps 20 km close to 20 km
