The ARK is built for comfort first. The seat is 19" wide and 18" deep, the backrest reclines, and it rides on 9" front and 12.5" rear pneumatic tires. A Bluetooth sound system, LED headlights, a rear brake light, an OLED dash and two USB ports are built in. A 300W brushless motor and a 24V 16Ah lithium battery give up to 15 miles at up to 4 mph. It weighs 90 lbs., so it is a chair for the house and the neighborhood more than for the car, although it comes apart in 2 pieces when it has to travel. It carries up to 330 lbs. and turns in a 39" radius.

See how this power wheelchair compares
Pick another power wheelchair in the same category and see a clear, side by side look at the specs that matter. Every figure on both sides is published by the manufacturer.
Select one.What does this mean?
This is the armrest the joystick sits on. Most people choose the side of their stronger hand. Both sides cost the same.
Included.What does this mean?
This section is how your order reaches you and how far into your home it comes.
Curbside is the free option. The power wheelchair ships from the manufacturer straight to your address. Allow about two to three days for the order to be processed and shipped, then about five more in transit depending on where you live. No carrier in this trade quotes an exact date, so treat both figures as estimates rather than promises. It is left boxed at the curb, and everything after that is yours.
Read this before you take the free option. A full-size power wheelchair is a two person job. It usually arrives in more than one box, and those boxes usually will not fit through a standard 32 inch doorway, so they have to be opened in the garage or outside and the power wheelchair driven in once it is built. The setup is the hard part. It is not beyond anyone, and it is far easier the second time than the first.
