Features and benefits

Built for real life

What stands out

12" of powered seat lift

The seat rises from 21.25" to 33" off the floor, and Pride rates the chair at its full 4 mph either way, so you can keep driving with it up.

Turns in 24.25"

Mid-Wheel 6 drive puts the drive wheels under the seat, so it comes around in tight rooms and hallways without a three-point turn.

Flat-free tires on Active-Trac suspension

10" flat-free drive wheels and 6" flat-free casters, so no tire ever goes flat and the ride stays even over indoor thresholds.

Group U-1 batteries with a 5 amp charger

Two 12 volt Group U-1 batteries of about 35Ah run up to 15 miles on a charge at 300 lbs. A 40Ah AGM upgrade is available if you want more range.

The Hieline Take

The Jazzy Air 2 is the Jazzy to look at when sitting height is the problem. Its seat lifts 12", from 21.25 to 33" off the floor, so you can reach a top shelf, work at a kitchen counter or hold a conversation at eye level without transferring out of the chair. Pride rates it at the same 4 mph raised as lowered, so you are not stuck in place while the seat is up. The honest caveat: this is an indoor chair. Ground clearance is 1" at the motor bracket against 3" on the EVO 614, it climbs a 2.25" obstacle, and at 252 lbs. with its batteries it is not going in a car. If your day is spent reaching and transferring around the house, this is the one. If it is spent on grass and broken sidewalk, the EVO 614 is built for that and costs less.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • need to reach counters, shelves and cupboards without transferring out of the chair
  • want to sit at eye level at a table or in a conversation, the seat runs 21.25" to 33"
  • want to keep moving with the seat up, Pride rates it at 4 mph raised or lowered
  • weigh up to 300 lbs. and spend most of your day indoors

Look elsewhere if you

  • cross grass, thresholds or broken pavement often, it has 1" of clearance and the EVO 614 has 3"
  • need to lift it into a car, it is 252 lbs. with the standard batteries and does not fold, the Jazzy Carbon folds at 43.6 lbs.
  • need more than 300 lbs. of capacity, the Jazzy Elite HD carries 450 lbs.
  • do not need the elevating seat, the EVO 614 costs less and goes further on a charge

How to measure for a wheelchair

How to measure for a wheelchair

Getting the right wheelchair starts with getting the right fit. A chair that is too wide, too narrow, too deep or too short is uncomfortable and hard to use.

You do not need dozens of measurements to get started. For most manual wheelchairs, transport chairs and power wheelchairs, the five below will get you to the right size.

C is lower leg length, from the crease behind the knee to the bottom of the heel. D is back height, from the seat surface to the top of the backrest. E is elbow height, from the seat surface to the underside of the elbow.DBCE

Before you measure

Sit upright in a firm chair. Wear the shoes and the clothing you expect to use with the wheelchair. Have someone help you, because the measurements are far more accurate when somebody else holds the tape.

  1. Measurement A. Hip width

    Measure the widest part of your hips or thighs while seated. Keep the tape straight across your body rather than wrapping it around you.

    This is the measurement that points you at a seat width.

    Leave yourself a little room. If your seated hip width is about 19", look at a seat that gives you a small amount of clearance rather than one measuring exactly 19".

    Do not go wider than you need. A wider seat makes the whole wheelchair wider, and that makes doorways and indoor turns harder.

  2. Measurement B. Seat depth, also called upper leg length

    Measure from the back of your buttocks to the crease behind your knee while seated.

    The front edge of the seat should never press against the back of your knees. Aim for about 1" to 2" of space between the seat edge and the back of the knee.

    A seat that is too deep presses behind the knees. A seat that is too shallow leaves your thighs without support.

  3. Measurement C. Lower leg length

    Measure from the crease behind your knee down to the bottom of your heel, wearing your normal shoes. Keep your knee bent at about 90 degrees.

    This one tells you about seat-to-floor height, footrest height, legrest adjustment and footplate position.

    If the wheelchair comes with a cushion, remember the cushion raises your seated height.

  4. Measurement D. Back height

    Sitting upright, measure straight up from the seat surface to where you want the top of the backrest to sit.

    The right back height depends on how much upper-body support you need. A lower back gives an active manual wheelchair user more freedom to move. A higher back gives more trunk and upper-body support.

    If you are unsure how much support you need, call us before you order.

  5. Measurement E. Elbow height, where the armrests adjust

    Relax your shoulders, let your arms hang at your sides, and bend your elbow to about 90 degrees. Measure straight up from the seat surface to the bottom of your elbow.

    This gives you a comfortable armrest height on any chair with height-adjustable armrests.

Weight capacity

Always compare the rider's weight against the manufacturer's stated weight capacity. Never choose a wheelchair rated below the rider's actual weight.

If the rider is close to a chair's maximum, move up to a higher-capacity model.

BandCapacity
StandardUp to 300 lbs.
Heavy dutyAbove 300 lbs., up to 400 lbs.
BariatricAbove 400 lbs.

Make sure the wheelchair fits your home

Seat size is only half of it. Before you order, compare the wheelchair's overall dimensions against the places it has to go. Measure:

  • The narrowest doorway it has to pass through
  • Hallways and tight corners
  • The bathroom entrance
  • The bedroom entrance
  • Elevators, if you use one
  • Your vehicle's cargo space, if the chair travels

Check the manufacturer's listed overall width as well as the seat width. A wheelchair with a 20" seat measures considerably more than 20" from wheel to wheel.

For a power wheelchair, check the listed turning radius too, so you know it can turn where you need it to.

Important

This guide helps you select standard mobility equipment. It is not a clinical seating assessment. A rider with significant postural needs, pressure-management concerns, asymmetry, contractures or other complex seating requirements should be evaluated by a seating or rehabilitation professional.

Build & Buy
Color
Select one.What does this mean?

The shroud is the painted body around the base of the chair. Every color costs the same and none of them changes how the chair drives, so choose the one you prefer.

The seat is black on every color.

Seat
Select one.What does this mean?

This is two measurements, and it is the choice worth taking time over.

Width is how wide the seat is across. Sit upright, have someone measure the widest part of your hips, then add about two inches so you are not pressed against the armrests. Round up to the nearest size below.

Depth is how far the seat runs from your back to its front edge. Measure from your back to the back of your knee, take off an inch or two, and aim for a gap of three or four fingers behind your knee. A seat that is too deep presses behind the knee and pushes you into a slouch.

All six choices here cost the same. Three are widths of the standard captain's seat, which is padded and ready to use, and that is the one to take if you are choosing without clinical advice.

The other three are the same widths on a solid seat pan. A solid pan is a firm flat base, and its back sits about two inches wider than the base. Choose it when a therapist has specified a pressure relief cushion for you, because a good cushion needs a firm base under it to work as designed.

Every seat comes with a 60" lap belt fitted.

If a therapist has measured you, their numbers win over anything here. If nobody has, use the measuring guide on this page.

Joystick mount
Select one.What does this mean?

This section sets which armrest the controller sits on.

Put it on the hand you already use. For most people that is the hand they write with. Choose the other side if that hand is out of commission.

Both sides cost the same on this chair and neither is an upgrade. The mount slides in and out, so you can also set how far forward the controller sits once it arrives.

Joystick position
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.

Legrests
Included.What does this mean?

This section is what your feet rest on.

This chair has one integrated foot platform and no alternative, so there is nothing to choose. It does adjust once it arrives. The height moves in half inch steps and the angle tilts to suit your legs.

If you need legrests that swing away and lift off so you can get close to a bed, call us and we will point you at a chair that offers them.

Accessories
Save 25% on any accessory added with your power wheelchair.
Optional. Tap any add-on to include it in your order.What does this mean?

These are extras that fit onto the power wheelchair, and every one of them is optional. Adding them here means they arrive with it rather than as a separate order later.

Read each card before you add two of them. Some accessories mount in the same place, so only one of those can be fitted at a time.

Delivery
Select one.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.

If you have not done one before, take an upgrade.

Inside delivery means we bring it just inside your front door or into the garage, still in its packaging. It saves you the carry and leaves you the setup.

White glove takes a different route. It does not come to your address first. It ships to the delivery technician nearest you, and once it arrives there the technician calls you and books a time that suits you, then brings it into your home, sets it up in the room you choose, checks it for shipping damage and takes all the packaging away. That extra leg adds a few days, and the date is settled between you and the technician, so we cannot give you one up front.

Most people buying a full-size power wheelchair take white glove, and on this one we think that is the right call.
