    Journey Air Elite Max Light Wheelchair: Move With More Freedom

    Feel ready to move through your day with a chair that works with you. The Journey Air Elite Max is made for people who want powered support without the heavy, bulky feel of a full-size chair.

    It folds fast and stays light; it takes less work to move and store. That can mean more choice, less waiting for help, and more energy for the people and moments that matter to you.

    The roomy seat helps you feel at ease, the controls are simple to use, and two batteries help the chair keep going. From the first sit to the final fold, this lightweight wheelchair is built to make powered mobility feel simple, comfortable, and freeing.

    A Folding Power Chair Built Around Your Independence

    Fold the Air Elite Max with one simple pull. Its frame closes into a smaller shape, so this folding power chair is easier to handle and put away.

    A lighter, foldable wheelchair can give you more say in how your day goes. The chair is ready when you need powered support and easier to store when you are done.

    Lightweight Wheelchair Comfort With More Room to Settle In

    Lightweight can still feel strong and comfortable. The Air Elite Max has the strength of a carbon fiber wheelchair, a roomy 17.7-inch seat, a tall 18-inch seatback, and soft memory-foam cushions. It supports up to 330 lb while giving you space to settle in.

    The armrests flip up to help you get seated. The chair also turns in a small space, so the joystick feels easy to guide. Among electric wheelchairs, its mix of low weight, strong support, and roomy comfort stands out.

    Portable Power Chair Range That Keeps the Day Moving

    Two batteries help the Air Elite Max keep moving. When one battery gets low, the chair can switch to the other. Together, they provide a rated range of up to 19.8 miles under test conditions.

    Quiet motors, flat-free tires, automatic braking, and an easy-to-read screen make this portable power chair simple to use. You can see speed and mileage, charge a device through the USB port, and change the voice prompts.
