Have a question?
We are here to help.

The Journey Air Elite can be used just about anywhere, indoors and out. It can handle a number of different terrains such as grass, carpet, dirt and more. It has a powered reverse function. Thanks to the sleek design it will fit through all doorways with ease.
Customers that are close to the Journey Air Elite Chair's weight limit of 240 lbs may find that the Journey Air Elite 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 Elite Chair to move around on these types of surfaces without significantly increasing speed.
The Journey Air Elite is capable of carrying a person weighing up to 240 lbs. It's available in one size. See the Product Specifications section for specific dimensions.
Absolutely. The joystick is easy to operate with one finger and can be installed on either the right or left side of the chair.
While many people use the Journey Air Elite Chair for many different reasons, the Journey Air Elite Chair is a personal electric vehicle. If you are fully restricted to a sitting position, the Journey Air Elite Chair may not be for you. You must be able to get in and out of the chair.
While Journey Health & Lifestyle does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid directly, most of our products are FSA/HSA eligible for your convenience. You can still submit a claim to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Use the CMS-1500 form (or equivalent) and include your itemized receipt and a letter of medical necessity from your healthcare provider. If you need help with the process, your insurance company or a billing specialist can offer guidance.

Yes, it’s FAA-approved for air travel. Remove the battery before boarding and follow airline-specific guidelines for battery-powered devices.
The Journey Air Elite can be manually pushed when unoccupied, making it convenient for transport or storage. However, it is not designed for seated users to be pushed in a wheelchair fashion, as its primary purpose is to provide a powered self-driving experience. For safety, always ensure the chair is locked in place if manual pushing is not intended.
The swinging footrest, backrest and seat are not adjustable. However, the Journey Air Elite is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes. Some Air Elite owners with special comfort needs have chosen to add an additional cushion.
Battery performance depends on usage and conditions, but most Journey Air Elite Chair owners enjoy up to ten miles of use on a single charge, and rarely need to recharge more than once a day. Charging typically takes 6–8 hours or less, depending on how much power has been used. With proper care, the battery lasts for several years before needing replacement.
The charger will operate on on 100V or 220V. If you are traveling abroad, you'll need an inexpensive plug converter to fit the outlets of your destination.
