Motorized Wheel Chair

If you want the best of the best motorized wheelchairs, have a look into the Jazzy 600 or the Jazzy 600 with the XL package.  These wheelchairs are manufactured by the Pride Mobility products company.  These two wheelchairs are high performance and provide maximum stability for you. Let’s look first at the Jazzy 600.

The Jazzy 600 features enhanced stability due to the Pride Mobility company’s patented mid-wheel drive, called the Mid-Wheel 6. The Mid-Wheel 6 uses ATX Suspension combined with OMNI Casters made from nylon which operate independently.  They are able to compensate for varying terrains, raising and lowering themselves when required.  This allows smooth shifts giving you more comfort as you travel.

Maximum weight allowed for the Jazzy 600 is 300 pounds.  Traveling speed is up to five miles per hour.  Its weight is 127 pounds and the two batteries (12 volt, deep cycle) weigh 38 pounds each.  The length of the Jazzy 600 is 36.5 inches and the width of the wheelchair is 23.5 inches in all.  Its seat dimensions measure 18 by 18 inches.  The intelligent braking system is comprised of regenerative, electronic disc brakes.  The on-board battery charger is the standard 4 amp and the total range you can travel on one battery charge is a total of 25 miles.  There are four colors to choose from, including onyx black, champagne, viper blue and candy apple red.

What’s the warranty on the Jazzy 600?  For the frame, there is a life time warranty and on the electronics, a two year limited warranty.  On the drive motors, for both the Jazzy 600 and the Jazzy 600 with the XL package, there’s an 18 month limited warranty.  In fact, the warranty is the same for both motorized wheelchairs.

Now for the Jazzy 600 with the XL package, you’ll find enhanced seating and the fact that it can bear more weight than the original Jazzy 600.  The Jazzy 600 with the XL package can carry persons up to 400 pounds.  This wheelchair delivers great performance and maximum stability, using the patented Mid-Wheel 6 design.  Options include a contouried high back seat, a solid seat pan, solid tires, cup holders, swing away joystick, swing away foot rests, leg rests that rise and lower, an oxygen tank holder, a cane or crutch holder and a walker holder if you want.

The Jazzy 600 with the XL package motorized wheel chair comes in the same colors as the Jazzy 600 model.  So, analyze what your wheel chair requirements are, what your budget is and what color you like best.  Both of these motorized wheel chairs are excellent for anyone who likes to get away to the countryside for perhaps a little camping or any such uneven terrain.  And don’t forget to investigate your insurance coverage for wheel chairs and whether your government runs an assistive devices program which helps you pay for your motorized wheel chair.
