The Go Chair Portable Electric Wheelchair is a well-designed electric wheelchair that’s very easy to use indoors or out. The wheelchair’s mid-drive motor provides a tight turning radius of just 24.4 inches, enabling you to maneuver through hallways and around tight doorways. The wheelchair also offers an impressive speed of up to 4 mph, although the range is limited to just over 12 miles.
Users praised the seat on this electric wheelchair, which is contoured and padded to provide excellent support. The headrest is fully adjustable, and there’s a grippy platform at the base of the wheelchair for your feet.
While this wheelchair can operate outside, it does have some limitations. The front and rear wheels, which are present for stability, can struggle on unpaved surfaces. The motor can only handle climbing grades up to six degrees, which is about the angle of a moderately steep road. Ground clearance can also be an issue since there’s only 2.4 inches of space underneath this wheelchair’s base.
What we liked
This electric wheelchair for the elderly is comfortable and easy to use. The design of the seat is the main attraction, as it’s generously padded throughout. It’s a great all-around performer in indoor spaces, and it holds its own outside on paved surfaces.
What could be better
If this wheelchair had slightly more ground clearance, it would be a very attractive all-terrain option. Unfortunately, 2.4 inches isn’t enough clearance even for some doorframes.
