Porto Mobility Ranger Discovery XL Wide Seat Lightweight Foldable Heavy Duty Weatherproof Electric Wheelchair, Portable, only 50 lbs Powerful Motors All Terrain Folding Power Wheelchair (XL Wide Seat)

I was hesitant to buy an electric wheelchair without first trying it out, but this was an excellent buy! I couldn't be happier with it. I am a very large person. This chair fits me well, is easy to maneuver, and has incredible battery longevity. My husband is thrilled with how easy it folds up and how easily he can put it in the car. There are some good grip points. He only has to lift either the front or back wheels into the back of the car, and it slides in. Its relatively light weight at 50 pounds, but is sturdy and handles my weight easily. The batteries last a long time. I do not use this chair 24/7, but rather just for when I would need to walk any distance. I have COPD, so walking and breathing became quite difficult. We purchased two carabiners to hang from the back railing of the chair to clip my portable oxygen unit on it. I also bungee corded a sham pillow for extra back support. All in all, this was an excellent buy and I would purchase it again.

Tl: Dr - 10/10 would buy againI am a plus size woman with a degenerative skeletal condition. Although I can use a cane for the most part now, there will be a time when I am wheelchair-bound. I wanted this to use primarily whenever I go to big box stores (Sam’s, Target, Walmart, Lowe’s, etc.) where the electric carts are often either in use, dead, or broken, or to use while traveling. Since I had a trip coming up and I have the available funds, I went ahead and bought it.I have used this chair extensively since receiving it, not quite three months ago - including a twelve day, three city vacation. My assessment is below.Pros:The chair comes almost completely assembled. (You do need to add the joystick and storage pouch underneath.) The batteries do already have a charge. You can literally use this chair within minutes of unboxing.The learning curve is slight. Some have complained about it being “jerky” when starting. Put the speed setting on three or less and it’ll fix that for you.It is truly multi-terrain. That said, it will not operate well in sand or on loose gravel. It does work on packed gravel. I was able to maneuver easily even in historic districts of several towns, and on rather steep inclines.When folded it is not much larger than a deluxe baby stroller, and only slightly heavier. Removing the batteries before lifting it will help here.The five speed settings are amazing.The batteries hold a charge extremely well. I did not have to charge my batteries the entire 12 days I was on vacation, even with daily use.It is very easy to clean.The seat cushion is very comfortable.It is fairly quiet.Customer service is top notch if you have an issue. (See below.)It looks awesome!Cons:I would have loved to have seen some type of hooking device or strap to help keep the frame closed when trying to load it. Sort of what strollers have.It is difficult to use a shopping cart or other basket system to hold items if shopping. (But you’d have that with pretty much any wheelchair.) Would really love to see some sort of basket accessory that could attach to the arm not utilizing the joystick. A friend made me some bags that hook over the arms which helps for small items. I’m not a fan of the back pouch thing, although it is useful for storing a poncho (get one big enough for the entire chair). It’s just not very accessible if you are traveling alone.It reclines more than I like, but that’s a personal preference. I purchased a lumbar seat cushion which solved the issue for me.I will say this: I did have an issue where the top part of the battery that shows the charge level came off and the battery was stuck inside the frame. I contacted customer service and they were kind, respectful, quick, and responsive (thank you Al!). They had a technician to my home in a few days to fix the issue. Inconvenient? Yeah, for a few days. But the communication was clear and frequent, and I was never left guessing. I was treated the way I would’ve wanted my mother treated if this was an issue for her.Tips: if you are inclined to leave the wheelchair in your vehicle, bring in the batteries and joystick. Neither like extreme temperatures and any type of batteries can combust if they get too hot.Slide the batteries in gently. When folded it can be tempting to drop the battery into the frame with a “thunk,” but that will put strain on the plastic cap that provides your battery level reading.Get a poncho that covers you AND the chair. Random thunderstorms and electronics don’t mix well.Enjoy your new freedom. 😊

Bought for my mom, and two months later we've finally had a chance to take it out. She is absolutely over the moon! Thoughtful controls, comfortable seating. The seat back is a bit reclined (non-adjustable) for her taste, but a cushion will take care of that.My biggest concern was whether or not I'd need to have my car modified to carry a chair. No! This folds up quickly and fits in the back of my Prius without even needing to put the back seats down. It's amazingly light for a powered wheelchair. Be aware, however, that this is compared to other powered chairs, which must be heavy beyond measure. You'll feel all 50 pounds heaving it into the car, but it's absolutely doable. I'm old and in terrible shape, but I can comfortably lift it to get it loaded. I wouldn't try to carry it up stairs. Or very far. It's still heavy, but it's manageable.It's been a joy to watch her win back some autonomy. It's also a joy realizing that both my hands are now free and I can wander around without leaving her stranded.I would recommend picking up the extended footrest (~$130) from their site. Those front wheels bump your feet if they extend over the sides of the rest. There's exactly enough clearance for the wheels to get past the footrest. Anything more gets bumped.

Its a pretty good chair. The battery life is amazing and it folds and opens up in seconds.My #1 issue is my joystick is coming apart, it does not stop and will go where it wants at time.#2 The intelligent braking system…well when the chair goes down hill or feels like going haywire, i have to use my feet to stop it.At times it also gets “stuck” on certain flooring and it is not for getting in anywhere with pot holes, dips in the grass or ground because it will literally throw you out of the chair.Lastly, the foot rest scapes the ground when going over bumps and it also gets stuck at times and you have to use your foot to help it along and/or get yourself out of a dip in wherever your riding.I can deal with the foot rest and getting stuck in dips but the chair having a mind of its own is dangerous.
