What Defines This Power Chair
Two Chairs in One
Swivel the seat to switch between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. Pick the mode that fits where you're going.
Power Seat Lift
Raise the seat up to 5" to reach counters, shelves, and cabinets, or to talk at eye level.
Compact 24" Width
At 24" wide with a 21" turning radius, it fits through standard doorways and turns in tight spaces at home.
Up to 5 mph & 18 Miles
A 24V motor (180W rated, 630W peak) with two U1 batteries delivers up to 5 mph and up to 18 miles per charge.
Outdoor-Ready Tires
10" foam-filled knobby drive tires and 8" polyurethane casters handle sidewalks, grass, and gravel, and never go flat.
PG VR2 Controller
A 60-amp PG VR2 controller with regenerative electromagnetic brakes gives smooth starts and controlled stops.
Which drive mode when? Front-wheel drive pulls you over curbs and obstacles and climbs well. Rear-wheel drive tracks straight and feels stable at higher speeds. Not sure which you'll use most? Call us: 1-866-218-0902.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I switch between front- and rear-wheel drive?
Swivel the seat to face the other direction. The chair then drives in the other mode.
How high does the seat go?
The seat starts at about 20" from the ground, and the power lift raises it up to 5" more.
How far and how fast does it go?
Up to 5 mph and up to 18 miles per charge. Range varies with rider weight, terrain, and battery condition.
Dualer or Merits Vision Sport?
Both carry 300 lbs, reach 5 mph, and go up to 18 miles. The Dualer switches between front- and rear-wheel drive and includes a power seat lift. The Vision Sport uses mid-wheel drive with a tighter 20" turning radius.
Can it go outdoors?
Yes. Foam-filled knobby drive tires and up to 12° climbing handle sidewalks, grass, and gravel. With only 2" of ground clearance, take curbs and tall thresholds slowly.
Is it covered by Medicare?
Coverage depends on medical necessity, documentation, and the options ordered. Seat-lift features are often not covered. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
What does the warranty cover?
A limited lifetime warranty on the frame (5-year life expectancy) and 1 year on the controller, harnesses, charger, and motors. Tires, upholstery, and wear parts are excluded. Call us with warranty questions: 1-866-218-0902.
