Journey Air Lightweight Folding Power Chair

At only 35 pounds without the battery, the Journey Air is one of the lightest power chairs in the world!  And it combines that lightweight portability with world class performance.  Its simple to use joystick and powerful dual drive system enable you to zip around quickly and safely.

It is also one of the easiest chairs to maneuver inside a home as it fits easily through doorways, and can go right up to a table or desk.  It also features two brushless motors which work independently, enabling this agile chair to turn on the spot. 

Once you are done riding, just one pull on the seat handle folds it up for transporting, and there is also a fold-down back to make it even easier to stow and store.  The Journey Air also features flat-free tires and rear anti-tippers for added convenience and safety. 

Just imagine how this chair can improve your life and make it easier for loved ones and caregivers to accompany you to activities and events you would have missed in the past.

Can I take my Journey Air Chair on an airplane?
Yes, and here are a few things you need to know before taking your Journey Air Chair on a plane. Your Journey Air Chair should qualify as free baggage with most airlines, but you can call your airline prior to your trip to make sure. You can ride your Journey Air Chair all the way up to the gate and down the jetway. As you get to the end of the jetway, you will need to remove the Journey Air Chair battery from the back of the chair, fold your Journey Air Chair and hand it to a flight attendant to stow it under the plane. Take the battery on the plane with you to your seat. Be sure to contact your specific airline to ask for their procedures for transporting a battery-powered vehicle, and see your Journey Air USA User Manual for more info. Here is a link to the FAA regulations regarding battery-powered chairs. More info

Does the Journey Air Chair have reverse mode?
Yes, the Journey Air Chair does have a powered reverse.

Can I manually push the Journey Air Chair?
The Journey Air Chair can be pushed about easily when there is no rider in it; however, it is not specifically intended that seated users be pushed around in wheelchair fashion by others as an alternative to the chair's foremost purpose: a powered self-driving experience. (If you wish to prevent your Journey Air Chair from being pushed from behind, you simply lock it in place.)

Is the footplate adjustable?
The swinging footplate is not adjustable; however, the Journey Air Chair is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes.

Is the seat or backrest adjustable?

Can the Journey Air Chair be used on heavily padded or thick carpet?
Customers that are close to the Journey Air Chair's weight limit of 240 lbs may find that the Journey Air Chair is a little more difficult to use on very thick or heavily padded carpet when operating on low speed. The solution is to simply increase your speed setting, thereby increasing the ability of the Journey Air Chair to move around on these types of surfaces without significantly increasing speed.
