The Jazzy Elite 14 pairs a front-wheel drive base with large 14" drive wheels, so it turns inside a 24" radius indoors and still handles grass, thresholds and grade changes outside. The seat is depth-adjustable and folds flat for transport, and rear battery access keeps servicing simple.

Overview

Tight turns indoors, real capability outside the Elite 14 does both

Pride's front-wheel drive Group 2 chair, with 14" drive wheels and a 24" turning radius.

Built for real life

What stands out

Turns in a 24" radius

Front-wheel drive puts the drive wheels ahead of you, so the chair pivots tightly and gets around doorways and furniture without a three-point turn.

14" drive wheels

Large foam-filled drive wheels absorb more over obstacles and give the chair genuine outdoor capability on grass, gravel and grade changes.

Depth-adjustable, fold-flat seat

A limited-recline high-back seat you can set for depth as well as width, and fold flat when the chair has to go in a vehicle.

Rear battery access

The batteries come out from the back of the base, so routine servicing does not mean taking the seat off first.

The Hieline Take

The Elite 14 is Pride's front-wheel drive Group 2 chair, built for someone who needs to get around a house comfortably and still cross a lawn or a threshold without planning a route. The 14" drive wheels and front anti-tips are what buy that outdoor capability, and the 24" turning radius is what keeps it usable indoors. The honest caveat is that this is a 300 lbs. capacity chair with a limited-recline seat and no power positioning, so it is a transport and daily-driving chair rather than a seating system. If you need tilt, recline or a power elevating seat, or you weigh more than 300 lbs., look at the Jazzy Elite HD instead.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • You want one chair that works in tight rooms and still crosses a lawn or a threshold
  • You are at or under the 300 lbs. weight capacity
  • You want a seat that folds flat so the chair can go in a vehicle
  • You would rather adjust seat depth yourself than order a custom seating system

Look elsewhere if you

  • You need more than 300 lbs. of capacity. The Jazzy Elite HD is rated to 450 lbs.
  • You need tilt, recline or a power elevating seat. The Jazzy Air 2 has a power lifting seat.
  • You want the longest range in the Jazzy line. The Jazzy 600 ES goes up to 24.8 miles at the same 300 lbs.
  • You need a chair that disassembles for a car trunk. The Jazzy Carbon folds and lifts in pieces.

Getting the size right

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.

Need help choosing the right size?

Sizing varies between manufacturers and between models. If you are unsure which size to order, we are happy to help.

Send us your measurements along with the wheelchair you are considering, and a Hieline Medical specialist will compare them against that manufacturer's available seat sizes and specifications.

Call 1-855-HIELINE or email care@hieline.com with your measurements and the model you are considering, and we will tell you which seat size to order.

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

Pride Mobility builds this power wheelchair in one color.

Jazzy Red
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 three sizes cost the same. The seat is Pride's high-back Comfort Seat in black vinyl, with arms that adjust for height and a lap belt fitted.

Only the 22" seat folds flat. If you plan to fold the seat down to get the chair into a car or a cupboard, that is the one to take. Its shallowest setting is 20" deep, so check your thigh measurement against that before you choose it.

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.

The included mount on this chair is a fixed in-line bracket carrying a Dynamic LiNX joystick. A swing-away mount swings the controller out to the side, so you can pull all the way up to a dining table, a desk or a work counter without the control box hitting the edge. Raising the armrest does not do the same job, because the chair is harder to control with the armrest up.

The swing-away also moves the controller out of the way when you get in and out. The joystick is a delicate part, and people grab it to push themselves up, which is how it gets broken.

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
Select one.What does this mean?

This section is what your feet rest on.

The standard footrest is an angle adjustable platform that flips up out of your way when you get in and out. It suits you if you transfer sideways or stay seated once you are in the chair.

Swing-away legrests move to the side and lift off. Choose them if you need to get close to a bed to transfer across, or to stand up out of the front of the chair. The two footplate sizes are about shoe size, so take the larger one if you wear a big boot. On this chair they also adjust from 60 to 90 degrees in five degree steps.

Elevating legrests do everything the swing-away pair does and also raise each leg on its own, on a padded calf support. Choose them if you have swelling in your lower legs, or if you have been told to keep a leg raised.

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.
