Journey Zoomer®
Folding Power Chair

The Zoomer Chair can be used just about anywhere, indoors and out. It can handle a number of different terrains such as grass, carpet, dirt and more.

In most any cases, yes. Check to be certain your doorway openings are at least 27" wide. Any smaller than that will require you to get off and fold the Zoomer Chair in order to pass through. Businesses (malls, restaurants, etc.) are required to be ADA compliant, with doorways a minimum of 32" wide—no problem for the Zoomer.

The Zoomer Chair is capable of carrying a person weighing up to 275 lbs.

The Zoomer Chair is available in only one size. See the Product Specifications section for specific dimensions. The maximum user weight limit is 275 lbs.

The Zoomer Chair is a one-handed, joystick-controlled chair. The joystick can even be installed on either side of the chair.

While many people use the Zoomer for many different reasons, the Zoomer Chair is a personal electric vehicle. If you are fully restricted to a sitting position, the Zoomer may not be for you. You must be able to get in and out of the chair.

The Zoomer Chair will arrive fully assembled out of the box. It will include the chair, a battery and a charger. In addition, it will include the hex key needed should you decide to remove the armrests.

Unfortunately, the Zoomer is not covered by Medicare at this time.

Accessories such as a seatback bag, cup/bottle holder, cane holder, spare batteries and spare tires are available.

Whether you are at a restaurant having dinner or just pulling up to your desk to get some work done, one of the great unique features of the Zoomer Chair is that it easily fits under most desks and tables. Since the armrests are only 25.5" above floor level, you can just pull right up as you would a regular chair to any standard table or desk, which will generally be 28" to 30" high. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) dictates that to be compliant, public seating must be a minimum of 27" from the floor to the bottom of the table surface.

Yes, and here are a few things you need to know before taking your Zoomer on a plane. Your Zoomer 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 Zoomer 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 Zoomer battery from the back of the chair,  fold your Zoomer 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 Zoomer Chair USA User Manual for more info. Here is a link to the FAA regulations regarding battery-powered chairs.  More info

Yes, the Zoomer Chair does have a powered reverse.

The Zoomer 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 wheel-chair fashion by others as an alternative to chair's foremost purpose: a powered self-driving experience. (If you wish to prevent your Zoomer from being pushed from behind, you simply lock it in place.)

The swinging footplate is not adjustable; however, the Zoomer is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes. 

The seat and backrest are not adjustable. Some Zoomer owners with special comfort needs have chosen to add an additional cushion.

Customers who are closer to the Zoomer's weight limit of 275 lbs may find that the Zoomer is a little more difficult to use on very thick or heavily padded carpet when operating at low speed. The solution is to simply increase your speed setting, thereby increasing the ability of the Zoomer to move around on these types of surfaces without significantly increasing speed.

Depending upon usage (speed, weight, etc.) the Zoomer Chair's battery will last up to 8 miles of use.

The short answer is it depends on the usage and conditions. The battery on average lasts for several years for many of our customers.

Charging the battery takes 4 hours or less depending on the level of power already used. With a range of up to 8 miles, most owners rarely run the battery all the way down in a single day.

There is a battery indicator located on the control panel that tells you the battery life.

Yes, 50 pounds includes the weight of the battery.

Yes. The charger will operate on 110V or 220V, but you will need an inexpensive plug converter to fit the outlets of your foreign destination.
