Vive Health843 OA Knee Brace Replacement Pads Set, RightVive Folding Power Wheelchair: 59 lbs, 6 inches of clearance
The Vive Folding Power Wheelchair folds fast, and Vive expects it to fit a standard car trunk (Vive Health). With its battery it weighs 59 lbs (Vive Health), on an aluminum frame (Vive Health).
Built for mixed ground
There are 6 inches between the frame and the ground (Vive Health), a lot for a folding chair. Shock absorbers sit at the front, and Vive lists grass, gravel, pavement, carpet and indoor floors among the surfaces it handles (Vive Health). Vive also warns that bad weather is off limits (Vive Health).
Controls and comfort
A 360-degree joystick moves from one armrest to the other and carries a charge gauge, a horn and adjustable speeds (Vive Health). You can adjust the armrests, the footrests and the height of the seat back, and there is an adjustable safety belt (Vive Health). You sit 19.7 inches up on an 18 by 18-inch seat (Vive Health).
A lever behind each rear wheel puts the chair into manual mode (Vive Health), so it can be pushed. Vive's FAQ advises not to operate it in manual mode alone (Vive Health).
Vive rates it for 265 lbs, with a 4.0 mph top speed and as much as 9.3 miles per charge (Vive Health).
