Does it have a reverse mode?

Can I manually push it?
The Journey Air Elite 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 Elite 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 Elite Chair is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes.
Is the seat or backrest adjustable?
The seat and backrest are not adjustable. Some Journey Air Elite Chair owners with special comfort needs have chosen to add an additional cushion.
Can the Journey Air Elite Chair be used on heavily padded or thick carpet?
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 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.
How long will the battery last on a single charge?
Depending upon usage (speed, weight, etc.) the Journey Air Elite Chair's battery will last up to ten miles of use.
How long will the battery last before needing to replace it?
The short answer is it depends on the usage and conditions. The battery, on average, lasts for several years for many of our customers.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
Charging the battery takes 6-8 hours or less, depending on the level of power already used. With a range of up to ten miles, most owners rarely run the battery all the way down in a single day.
How do I know if I need to charge the battery?
There is a battery indicator located on the control panel that tells you the battery life.
Is the battery included in the weight?
Yes, 29 pounds includes the weight with the battery.
Will the charger work in foreign countries?
Yes. The charger will operate on 100V or 220V, but you will need an inexpensive plug converter to fit the outlets of your foreign destination.
