Flat-free tires, rear anti-tippers, and a new storage pouch on the backrest add convenience and safety wherever you go.

Lightweight and Portable Design: Weighing only 39 lbs. without the battery, the Journey Air is among the lightest power chairs available with a 300 lb. capacity. It folds effortlessly with a single pull on the seat handle, making it ideal for transport in car trunks or back seats. The new joint-free finish enhances durability and aesthetics, while the new backrest storage pouch keeps essentials within easy reach.

Responsive Performance: Powered by dual brushless motors and featuring an intuitive one-finger joystick, the Journey Air is agile enough to turn on the spot, navigate through doorways, and pull up to tables or desks with ease. Its compact 35.4-inch turning radius makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

Enhanced Comfort and Safety: A thicker memory foam cushion provides superior comfort and pressure relief for longer rides. The Journey Air is equipped with electronic braking, flat-free tires, and rear anti-tippers for smooth and safe operation. The joystick can be easily switched to either side, and flip-back armrests simplify transfers to and from the chair.

    Lightweight and User - friendly Power Chair”

    “This Journey Air Lightweight Folding Power Chair is extremely convenient. It's lightweight, and the folding design makes it take up very little space. Whether it's being put into the trunk of a car or stored indoors, it's a breeze. The operation is simple, and it has sufficient power, which can handle daily outings and even(climbing slopes). The battery life is also quite good, meeting my basic daily needs. The only minor drawback is that the cup holder is a bit small, and larger cups can't fit in it. Hope it can be improved.

    Love that it’s light enough and transportable so I can use my Journey when we go to events that require more walking then I can handle. I was able to enjoy our entire local Craft bazaar with my Journey!

    Very impressed!

    We are so very excited to get our Journey Air in! It fits wonderfully in the trunk of our Toyota YARIS! And is so portable! It went up the ramp GREAT! And has a great brake Mechanism too! We ordered this to get my grandma in and out of the casino! It will be great for that with how well it’s handling the ramp at home! We also love how the battery comes off easily for charging, without having to bring the whole chair in! Very pleased with our purchase!
