SuperHandy GoRide Series Electric Wheelchairs – Lightweight, Foldable Power Chairs with Dual Brushless Motors, Zero-Turn Maneuverability & Electromagnetic Brake (GoRide - 220 lb Max)

I got this for my 80 year old father who we also have a transport chair for. He can walk, but isn’t a great walker and definitely no long distances or he complains like crazy. It’s getting difficult for my mom to push him around in the transport chair. My dad is a pretty good driver with theme park ECVs, so I picked this up during prime days at a great discount. We get stopped a lot by folks wanted to know what chair it is. Not sure if it’s because of its form factor or because it’s bright orange. Does make him easier to spot in a crowd since he has more independence and speed than when he’s on foot. But that also means I have to keep more of an eye on him since he’s pretty fast and will often lead the way when he’s not sure where we are supposed to be going. :) This chair is lightweight, fits in my parents’ EV sedan standing up when I take out the bottom parcel shelf in the trunk. My mom has a hard time putting it in, but she can lift it out herself on a good day. It’s hefty for me - but I can get it in and out of trunk easily (it’s a higher lift for me since we are using a sedan trunk). We have travelled with it on a plane without issues. Airlines always ask about the battery size when we gate check it - so I write all that info down in a note that I keep on my phone so I have the info ready when needed. You can’t bring more than 300 watts of battery on the plane. The battery that came with our chair is 144 watts. So you can bring two of them with you on the plane. Battery isn’t super heavy. I think it’s around 3 lbs each. I detach the battery and joystick and put them into a backpack for the plane. I purchased an extra battery just in case - but we haven’t had to use it yet. We also haven’t taken it to a theme park all day yet. That will be next test for battery life. But I love that it’s possible to manually push the chair if the battery dies. I also looked at lightweight scooters - but I’m so happy that I went with this chair instead. It folds up substantially smaller than a scooter (which I think folds up more like a larger stroller - plus usually needs to be disassembled to fit into a sedan). This chair fits in their trunk without disassembly. I will sometimes remove the joystick but that’s super easy and quick. The turn radius is so much better than a scooter. My dad can usually drive straight into an elevator and then can turn around inside with very little extra space to get out. It is a little speedy for a senior. LOL. I had him on speed 2 (2 dots) and felt he was doing very well. I increased the speed to 3 dots and he didn’t drive as well. It seemed to be more difficult for him to maneuver in tighter spaces and hallways. I turned it back to 2 dots and he was back to being an excellent driver. Definitely the best thing I have bought all year. Gives my dad some independence. Frees up my mom to not have to push him. Small, lightweight, easy to use. Very happy!

If you see this same review on a competition’s reviews, ignore as that chair did not arrive before we left so we cancelled it but I posted the review on the wrong product. This chair came quickly and was amazing! Purchased for three week Europe trip to Austria, Czech, Hungary and Romania. All streets were cobble and lots of curbs but this handled them all. Can’t tip it back at curbs like her manual one so need to be more strategic on where to cross, but it can handle 1 1/2” to 2” curbs fine. When we encountered stairs I simply grabbed the two handles under the seat with one hand and pulled up to fold the chair and carried it with one hand while helping her with the the other arm. Super light and very durable! Buy an extra battery though if you need more distance, but we took it up the hill to Bean Castle, very long steep hill and even the. Only used one dot. The one battery was plenty on most days around large cities but would have preferred to have spare as there were some long days in Vienna and Prague where we wore out the battery and I simply released it to manual and pushed her. No assembly required and folds super easy. We probably won’t use every day as she has a heavier one with slightly better controls, (more range of speed on controls easier), but it could serve that function easoly

Great purchase. Easy to use, folds compactly. Smaller than most wheelchairs so it’s great for narrow or crowded spaces. We bought these for our parents and it is so much easier to get them in and out of doctor’s offices and bathrooms. Holds a charge for weeks as long as you turn it off. Very quiet. We get compliments on how it looks everywhere we go.

Works great. Lost one star because the tires seem to lose pressure. I bought a small compact air compressor. Overall I'm pleased with this LIGHTWEIGHT wheelchair. UPDATE: Took an 8-day Cruise to Bermuda. Went to St. Georges and Hamilton. The wheelchair work flawlessly on and off the ship. The wheel chair was fast and the battery lasted a long time. I on;y had to swap with spare battery after several hours at St.Georges. Had no problem with tire properly inflated to recommend pressure. Lightweight and foldable to get into Uber. I highly recommend this wheelchair!

This is my third electric wheelchair. My first two were Prides. A replacement battery for the latest Pride would have cost$800 so I figured a new GoRide at $1100 was a better deal. And it would have been, except for some serious deficiencies. The operating manual did not tell me how to use the second battery. I called the company, and a recording told me that if I bought the item from Amazon in the last 30 days, to call Amazon. I did, and all Amazon could do was quote from the same operating manual. Bad customer support The battery life is very short. Another problem is the design of the footrests. They don't retract so you can't get close to a table. They can be removed. At slow speeds, the joystick doesn’t control the chair well, particularly if the speed setting is high.

Purchased for my 83 year old dad who had a stroke. He loves the design, color, and comfort. The cushion velcros onto the chair and we were pleasantly surprised by the back cushion! Very comfy. We like that the feet stirups are attached but are not a fan of the back strap that holds the two feet stirups together. My dad is still getting the hang of it as the joy stick can be sensitive. The POWER! of this chair is crazy. You MUST attached the small wheels to the back or you will tip over!!! The batteries are easy to remove and charge.

Es ligero y cómodo, solo que la batería le dura poco, me gustaría saber dónde comprar otra batería
