Mobility on the Move: Portable Power Wheelchairs for an Active Life

Home / Mobility on the Move: Portable Power Wheelchairs for an Active Life

A man and a woman in a wheelchair are walking through an airport terminal, chatting happily. They are passing by car rental counters from Avis, Hertz, and others. The terminal is bright with natural light.

At Comfort Medical Supply, we understand how essential mobility and independence are to staying active and engaged in your community or while traveling. Portable power wheelchairs offer an innovative solution for those seeking safe, reliable, and versatile mobility aids. These wheelchairs are tailored for people who want convenience without sacrificing comfort or performance.

Benefits of Power Mobility

Journey Zoomer

Portable power wheelchairs bring so much convenience to daily life. Both foldable and disassemble models are designed with travel and storage in mind, meaning you won’t need to worry about heavy vehicle lifts or finding extra storage space. They’re all about ease of use and adaptability.

These wheelchairs also come with a variety of customizable options, from joystick controls to adjustable arms, so they can fit your needs perfectly. Plus, don’t let their compact designs fool you—these chairs are built to last and can handle both indoor and outdoor environments with ease.

Cricket – folded

Portable power wheelchairs a fantastic solution for anyone facing mobility challenges, whether temporary or permanent. Frequent travelers, in particular, love these models for their compatibility with airline and public transportation requirements. And if you’re someone who just wants a dependable, compact chair to handle errands or stay active in your community, these wheelchairs are perfect for you. They’re all about helping you maintain independence while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.

 

Types of Portable Power Wheelchairs

Not all portable power wheelchairs are created the same. Depending on your preferences and needs, there are two main styles:

Foldable Models

These wheelchairs are designed to fold into a compact size, making them perfect for easy storage in car trunks, closets, or even as carry-on luggage for air travel. Their lightweight frames and intuitive designs are ideal for frequent travelers or those with limited storage space.

Journey Air Elite
  • The Jazzy Carbon combines ultralight carbon fiber technology with a reliable lithium-ion battery, making it perfect for travel. Weighing just 39 pounds without the battery, it’s TSA-friendly, offers speeds up to 3.7 mph, and supports up to 300 lbs. With large wheels, front suspension, and a plush seat cushion, it ensures a smooth, comfortable ride.
  • The Journey Air is part of the lightest power chair family, weighing just 35 lbs (without the battery). It offers a maximum speed of 2.8 mph and a range of up to 10 miles per charge. With its simple joystick, flip-up armrests, dual-drive system, flat-free tires, rear anti-tippers, and foldable design, it’s perfect for easy maneuverability, storage, and transport.
  • The Journey Air Elite shares many features with the Journey Air, such as a simple joystick, flat-free tires, rear anti-tippers, and a foldable design. However, it upgrades to a lighter 26-pound carbon fiber frame, a faster maximum speed of 3.7 mph, and includes a convenient USB charging port for your devices.
    Zoomer battery removal
  • The Journey Zoomer operates like a power wheelchair but is classified as a “personal electronic vehicle.” The airline-friendly battery provides up to 8 miles of range, handles indoor and outdoor terrain, and features a one-handed joystick for easy maneuverability. Its lightweight design allows the user to separate the rear wheels and battery from the foldable frame, making it lighter and easier to transport.
  • Weighing just 33 lbs., the Cricket is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. It features a comfortable padded seat, a 22” turning radius, and a 300 lb. weight capacity. With a 3.7 mph top speed and a 9.3-mile range, it folds easily for transport and offers excellent portability.

 

Disassemble Models

LiteRider Envy

Disassemblable power wheelchairs break down into smaller, lighter parts for transport. These models are typically designed with a feather touch disassembly that allow users to break the chair down into lightweight pieces that make transporting and storage easier. While this style takes a little longer to set up and take apart, it provides flexibility for those who may need a sturdier model or have limited upper-body strength for lifting a full unit. 

  • The Go Chair portable power wheelchair combines style, comfort, and performance with a 300 lb. weight capacity, a top speed of 3.8 mph, and a 25.5″ turning radius. It offers 8.7–13.2 miles per charge, feather-touch disassembly into four lightweight pieces, adjustable armrests, under-seat storage, and a variety of color options for personalized mobility.
  • The LiteRider Envy motorized wheelchair is built for ease and comfort. It disassembles in seconds, with the heaviest piece weighing just 35 lbs., making transport simple. Featuring a stadium-style seat, large footplate, rear-wheel drive, and 22 amp hour batteries, it offers a smooth, long-lasting ride and exceptional maneuverability.
