Is it right for you?
A good fit if:
- the user weighs up to about 260 lbs on the 18 or 20 inch seat (rated for 300 lbs), or up to about 410 lbs on the 22 inch seat (rated for 450 lbs); we suggest 30 to 40 lbs to spare
- you want a chair that folds to 13 inches wide and 43 inches long (15 inches wide and 45 inches long on the 22 inch seat)
- you have ramps up to 10 degrees (18 and 20 inch seats, at 300 lbs)
Look elsewhere if:
- the person lifting can't manage 86 lbs, its heaviest piece: the MAJESTIC 440 HD PLUS is rated 440 lbs and its heaviest piece is 53 lbs
- you plan to fly: Merits gives no airline wording for this chair, and Pride calls the battery on the Pride Jazzy Carbon Folding Travel Power Wheelchair airline compliant (check with your airline); it's rated 300 lbs

Buying for a parent or someone you care for?
- Check the fit first: their weight (choose a model rated 30 to 40 lbs above it), the narrowest doorway they'll go through, and who will lift it into the car.
- Order in your name, ship to theirs: at checkout, put their name and address under shipping. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.
- Larger chairs come by freight truck, and the carrier calls the phone number on the order to set a delivery time, so give the number of whoever will be home.
- Questions from both of you: chat with us or call 800-711-1940, and Mike can email you both. Not sure which one? Try our chair finder.
Merits Health Travel-Ease Folding Power Chair (300 - 450 lbs capacity)
Is the Merits Travel-Ease right for you?
Best for: Users up to 450 lbs who need a heavy-duty power chair that folds for storage and travel.
Also works well for: Care takers who want a chair that tucks into a closet or corner when it's not in use.
Not the right pick if: You want a reclining seat or full suspension for all-day comfort. The Merits Vision Super is the better fit for that.
Weight capacity: 300 - 450 lbs
Unit weighs: 150 - 154 lbs with batteries (18" and 20" seats); 158 lbs with batteries (22" seat)
Range: 18 - 25 miles
Seat width: 18" to 22"
Fits in: SUV or minivan cargo area when folded.
Indoor or outdoor: Handles both. The 12.5 inch rubber drive tires and 4.8 inches of ground clearance help with thresholds, curbs, and uneven pavement.
Our take: "Travel-Ease HD folds for easy storage and travel. Flip-up armrests make side transfers easier. It's still heavy, so plan on help loading it." Michael Kelleher, Owner and Mobility Specialist

This company is shady
The wheelchair arrived with several broken parts and they disconnected their phone number so I can’t contact them for replacement parts after I called them and they said customer service would call me back
Reply from Best Power WheelchairI'm sorry it arrived with a problem, and that getting help was this hard. If it still isn't sorted out, please email us at bestpowerwheelchair@gmail.com with your order number and a photo, and I'll take it up with the maker myself.

Nice Chair
My 91-year-old mother loves her chair. It's easier for her to get into with the folding leg rests. She had problems getting on to a power chair with a platform, because of her having an issue of being able to stand and step up to get onto the chair. She also loves the compliments and people interested in buying one for themselves or loved ones.
