As far as the battery goes for distance and speed, factors will determine its performance, like all other batteries with all other motorized wheelchairs, the tire pressure, the roughness or smoothness of the terrain, the weight of the person and the battery condition all affect its performance. Of course, you have to take care of your battery and recharge it correctly, or it is not going to perform well. For the specifics on this wheelchair battery, it comes with two U-1, off board, 5 amp, 12 volt, deep cycle batteries which result in greater per charge range – Each battery charge can reach a total of up to 15 miles per charge. The batteries weigh 24.5 pounds each. The maximum speed you can travel is is up to 3.5 miles per hour.

This wheelchair is available in blue or red, if you are picky about the colors. It can carry a person weighing up to 300 pounds. The seat measures 18 inches wide by 16 inches in length.
