Overview

15 miles on a charge on a 22.75" front-wheel drive base

A Group 2 front-wheel drive chair rated to 300 lbs., with three seat widths up to 20". Up to 15 miles on a charge, up to 4 mph, and a base 22.75" wide that turns in 24.75".

Built for real life

What stands out

Three seat widths, one price

Pride builds the depth-adjustable, limited-recline high-back seat in 16, 18 and 20" widths, each with its own depth range, and every one costs the same. The headrest is standard.

22.75" across the base

Narrower than any other chair in the Elite family, which is what gets it through a tight doorway. The trade is the turning circle, which is 24.75".

9" solid drive wheels

Solid tires front and rear, so there is nothing to inflate and nothing to puncture. Ground clearance is 1.85" at the motors.

Two sealed Group U-1 batteries

Two 12 volt Group U-1 batteries of about 35Ah at 25 lbs. each, sealed and maintenance free, charged by a 3 amp off-board charger. Up to 15 miles on a charge.

The Hieline Take

The Elite ES is the entry point to the full-size Jazzy line and it is honest about what that means. In-line front-wheel drive, 300 lbs. of capacity, three seat widths up to 20", and up to 15 miles on a charge, on a base 22.75" wide that is narrower than any other Elite. The honest caveat: it turns in 24.75", which is a wide circle for a chair this narrow, and its suspension is limited rather than Active-Trac, so grass and broken pavement are harder work than they look. If range is what you need, the Jazzy 600 ES carries the same 300 lbs. and does up to 24.8 miles at that weight, though its base is 24.5" wide against 22.75 here. If tight indoor corners are the whole problem, the Jazzy EVO 613 turns in 22" at the same capacity.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want a full-size chair with a base narrow enough for tight doorways, at 22.75"
  • weigh up to 300 lbs. and want a seat 16, 18 or 20" wide at no extra charge
  • spend most of your time on hard floors, sidewalks and packed paths
  • want a simple chair with two sealed batteries you never have to top up

Look elsewhere if you

  • need more than 300 lbs. of capacity, the Jazzy Elite HD carries 450 lbs., or 400 lbs. with its seat set 18" deep
  • turn in tight spaces often, the Jazzy 600 ES turns in 20.5" at the same 300 lbs., though its base is 24.5" wide against 22.75 here
  • need more than 15 miles between charges, the Jazzy 600 ES does up to 24.8 miles at the same 300 lbs.
  • cross grass and broken pavement, the Jazzy EVO 614 carries the same 300 lbs. on Active-Trac ATX suspension and turns in 22", on a base 25.4" wide

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

Pride Mobility builds this power wheelchair in one color.

More about the colors.What does this mean?

The shroud is the painted body around the base of the chair. Pride builds this one in Candy Apple Red and lists no other color for it, so there is nothing to choose here.

Candy Apple 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, and each one adjusts through its own depth range once it arrives. The seat is a high-back with a headrest and a limited recline, and its height sets to one of three positions an inch apart.

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 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.

The chair comes with its standard footplate and Pride lists no alternative for this model, so there is nothing to choose here.

If you need legrests that swing away and lift off so you can get closer 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.
