Different Pride Mobility power lift recliners offer a range of positioning features. The most versatile among them are those with true infinite position capabilities.
With these power lift chairs you can independently operate the seat, lumbar and shoulder support. These chairs were meticulously engineered to give the user a comfortable experience whether you’re reading or relaxing, sleeping or stretching out.
Considering the choices you may feel like a NASA scientist studying the infinite expanse of space. Just like the black holes they’re exploring now, true infinite recliners can feel like they go in every direction into infinity. Whew!
Don’t let the endless possibilities overwhelm you. Check out our other blog, which details the various recliner positions. The options range from a simple position like sitting with the footrest at 95 degrees to the zero gravity position, when the knees are elevated and the bottom is lowered.
Benefits of True Infinite Position
Pressure Relief
Our recliners are sized based on height and weight to ensure your legs lie just right on the footrest. This attention to detail extends to the way the chair moves. Laying back in the napping position gives the lower back the right amount of stretch.
True infinite position chairs are the only Pride recliners with zero gravity position. The zero gravity position — when your thighs and lower legs are higher than your torso — relieves significant pressure from joints and bones.

This winter has been a huge milestone for me in my life. The builder of my wheelchair accessible mountain house received the certificate of occupancy, and I GOT MY KEYS!! I had all my furniture delivered, and my girlfriend and I hung TVs, curtains, and even a sliding barn door for the master bath. I then scheduled a weekend with all my buddies that were there the day I crashed my quad and ended up as a T10 Paraplegic. This will be the first time we have gone away as a group since my accident 6 years ago.
All the boys coming up gave me a great chance to bring out my Baja Wrangler 2. I was able to show them around the property without any hesitation. The Baja Wrangler 2 is truly like no other scooter. The suspension and big tires allow this scooter to traverse mud, fallen limbs and hills.
After exploring the property, my buddies and I started a bonfire, cracked some cold beers and enjoyed catching up with old stories and making new memories. The Baja Wrangler 2’s seat is comfortable enough to sit in for hours. We hung out around the bonfire all night. The Baja Wrangler 2 made it easy for me to make it from the house to the bonfire and all around the property, giving me the ability to be included in everything me and my friends were doing.
Now that my house is finished, I will be making lifelong memories with my Baja Wrangler 2. I have been blessed to be chosen as a Baja Roll Model. This opportunity has opened more doors to explore without limitations.
This blog is my last as a Baja Roll model and I would like to thank all the people at Baja Mobility and Pride Mobility for this opportunity. Please continue to follow my journey on social media @Pat Salemno on Facebook and Tik Tok. I will continue to post videos and pictures of me and my Baja Wrangler 2. My time as a Roll Model is over, but my Baja Wrangler 2 and I are just getting started. Cheers to many more great memories.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift this holiday season or just wanting to treat yourself, Pride Mobility has you covered with a wide range of fantastic accessories for mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs!
These accessories will bring your mobility experience to the next level, whether it’s during the holidays or beyond. And the great news is you can purchase many of them online directly from our Pride Gear store.
For the 12 Days of Christmas, we have 12 mobility accessories that we think you’ll love to give or receive. And if you’re reading this blog beyond the holiday season, they’ll do just fine at any time of year!
Compatible with our larger scooters such as the Baja Wrangler 2, PX4, and Pursuit 2, this lockable storage pod allows you to ride with peace of mind knowing your belongings are secure. You may be in need of extra space for water bottles or smaller items such as groceries or purses, and with the storage pod, you can lock things away safely with a key. Your belongings are well-protected and accessible only by you.
The holidays can present stern challenges with wintry conditions, and that’s why our weather covers are ideal for protecting your mobility scooter or power wheelchair. It’s available in several sizes to accommodate our range of products, consisting of a one-piece cover that shields your unit from harsh elements including snow, rain, wind, and more.
Or five pairs! A perfect addition for a mobility scooter, our review mirrors are all about safety. Be aware of what’s happening behind you by applying a single mirror or a pair, and don’t worry about straining your neck to check out your surroundings. These mirrors easily attach to any Pride or Go Go scooter with a delta tiller.
The holiday season is always a busy time for travel. Whether you’re flying or just heading across town, protect your Jazzy® travel power chair with our Jazzy® Travel Bag bundle. With a larger bag for your product and another for the batteries, it’s designed so you can tow everything through airports, parking lots, and anywhere else that gets you from A to B. It’s compatible with the Jazzy Carbon an the Jazzy Ultra Light.
Available in two sizes, our saddle bag is a classic storage option for both electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters. It has a sleeve design that slides easily over either armrest of your unit, depending on your preference. It has a zipped pouch on each side for convenient access and enough space to hold several smaller belongings. It’s highly durable and is perfect for when you’re on the go.
Stay connected to your world while you’re on the go with our various cell phone holders. There are several styles to choose from depending on your unit, but the version contained in the link above is compatible with most of our mobility scooters. The holder connects to the delta tiller, and rubber coated tips hold your device firmly in place. This holder is compatible with most cell phones and keeps your device within arm’s reach.
Another classic storage option, a rear basket for mobility scooters can hold groceries, backpacks, or other larger items. It easily mounts to the back of your scooter and keeps your belongings secure so you can drive hands-free and worry-free. If you want quality and reliability for your items, consider a rear basket.
It’s not the most exciting of our accessories but having a replacement key for your mobility scooter can be very important. It will give you peace of mind in the event that you misplace your original key or just want to have a backup on hand.
Just as you can stay connected with a cell phone holder, you can stay refreshed with our cup holders. There are multiple styles for different products, so be sure to check the Pride Gear site to determine which one fits your unit. These cup holders are easy to attach and keep water and other drinks within arm’s reach at all times.
You can keep your mobile devices charged at all times while you’re riding thanks to our XLR USB chargers. We have chargers that are compatible with USB-A and USB-C devices and plug directly into the charging ports of electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters. They have a charging detection feature, so they switch off automatically when your device is fully charged.
Stay visible when out with your mobility scooter with a Pride Mobility safety flag. If you’re crossing the street or navigating a crowded parking lot, this flag will provide awareness for drivers and pedestrians alike. It’s brightly colored and comprised of a durable material that will withstand the elements.
If you’re looking to combine some of our most popular accessories into an affordable bundle, we have you covered! Our accessory kits include the rear basket, saddle bag, and cup holder (there are several options depending on the style of cup holder). This is a great option as you begin to accessorize your electric wheelchair or mobility scooter.
As you can see, there’s no shortage of practical accessories that can complete your mobility experience or brighten someone else’s holiday season. While these are all great gift ideas, mobility accessories are beneficial for year-round enjoyment.
While you have the option to purchase some accessories directly through the Pride Gear site, we also encourage you to contact your local dealer for any additional information and to inquire about availability. Happy shopping!
Pride Mobility® offers a wide range of lift chairs, also known as power lift recliners, that are designed to not only provide you with additional mobility support but also add a stylish piece of furniture to your home décor.
These recliners are engineered with quality, comfort, and performance in mind. They’re tested to the highest industry standards and supported by four decades of innovation. As a lift chair leader since 1986, you can trust Pride Mobility to deliver for your needs.
With so many options, you might be wondering how to determine the perfect lift chair that fits you best. Everyone has different mobility needs and preferences when it comes to features, so we hope this guide sheds some light on the similarities and differences among our lift chair collections.
What is a lift chair?
In the most basic sense, a lift chair is defined by its functionality: it assists the user to stand up from a sitting position, and vice versa.
Pride offers models with many differing features (we’ll explore those in a bit), but they will all contain a motorized mechanism that raises the seat of the chair up and angles the chair forward to allow the user to safely stand up and exit the chair.
Because of this mechanism, all Pride lift chairs quality as FDA Class II Medical Devices, which are designed to aid those with mobility impairments. If they are deemed medically necessary for the user by a doctor, the motorized lifting mechanism (not the entire chair) is eligible for reimbursement through Medicare or private insurance.
Why might you need a lift chair?
There are many individuals who could benefit from a power recliner with a motorized lifting mechanism. While anyone can certainly use a lift chair and enjoy the relaxation that comes with it, they’re primarily intended for those with limited mobility.
If you live alone or don’t have a caregiver with you all the time, a lift chair is ideal because it’s designed so that you can operate it and complete transfers in and out of the chair without assistance. They can also help you transfer to another mobility device, such as a walker or mobility scooter.
Lift chairs are also excellent solutions for those recovering from surgery, healing from significant injuries, or living with chronic pain. No matter the reason for use, a lift chair can not only help you stand or sit but provide comfort when watching TV or reading a book.
What are the common types of lift chairs?
Pride Mobility offers two types of lift chairs: three-position and infinite-position. Our three-position chairs fall under our Sitting Pretty® brand, while our infinite-position chairs are under our VivaLift!® brand.
A three-position lift chair has a single motor and, as the name would suggest, offers three positions: lifted (standing), seated, and reclined. The back and the chaise work in tandem when reclining. It’s the more basic of the types that Pride offers, and typically these chairs aren’t as feature-rich.
An infinite position chair has multiple motors, which means the back and chaise work independently. You have the option to recline the back while keeping the leg rest down, or you can extend the leg rest while keeping the back in place. Because of this, a user can discover a much wider range of resting positions. Infinite position is the more advanced type of chair that Pride offers, and several models are available with additional features that add to the relaxation experience.
What features are available on VivaLift! and Sitting Pretty?
While the basics are most important when considering a lift chair for medical use, there are many unique features available on our power recliners that may make the difference as to which model you prefer. Many of our lift chairs come in multiple sizes and colors as well, so you can find something that fits your body and your home décor.
Small, Medium, Large sizes (all 400-lb. weight capacity)
Cup holder and USB ports on Small, Medium, Large sizes
XL, XXL sizes (500-lb. and 600-lb. weight capacity respectively)
FEATURES ON ALL VIVALIFT! COLLECTIONS: Premier, Ultra, Radiance, Tranquil 2, Metro 2
Power headrest, backrest, lumbar
Infinite position seating (back and chaise work independently)
Lithium battery backup
USB charging ports
400-lb. weight capacity
FEATURES AVAILABLE ON SOME VIVALIFT! MODELS:
Tilt positioning for a zero-gravity experience
Heat and massage settings
Pull out arms with cup holders and wireless chargers
Immersive audio (Premier only)
Magnetic hand control holder
100% American leather fabric
Sizes that range from Petite Wide to Large/Tall
Which lift chair is best for me?
With a wide array of options and features, there’s a Sitting Pretty and VivaLift! power recliner for everyone. If you’re looking for the perfect lift chair, you’ll need to determine what’s most important to you.
First, take into consideration your height and weight. Some of our models have limited sizes available while others, such as our Evolution collection, run the gamut. All VivaLift! models have a 400-lb. weight capacity, while the capacity varies on Sitting Pretty.
Next, you’ll need to decide if you want features beyond basic functionality. A basic three-position power recliner may be all you want, but you may be interested in luxurious features such as heat, massage, and Tilt positioning. Consider your needs and budget as you make this decision.
No matter what you choose, you can’t go wrong with a VivaLift! or Sitting Pretty lift chair. They’re crafted to the highest quality and supported by decades of proven performance from Pride Mobility. Use our Dealer Locator tool to find an authorized Pride provider in your area or an e-commerce provider that can get you on your way to the world’s best comfort and relaxation!
As you consider your next mobility device from Pride® Mobility, be it a power wheelchair, mobility scooter, or power lift recliner, you may be wondering about payment options available to you like HSA or FSA.
For many Pride products, Medicare or private insurance may cover a portion or all of the cost. There are also many products that are not eligible for Medicare reimbursement. In any case, there are additional options that can help you offset the cost, provided they are deemed for qualified medical expenses.
What are HSA and FSA?
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are both designed to ensure you have pre-tax money set aside to cover health care costs. They’re typically offered by employers and while similar, they differ in a few ways.
An HSA allows you to carry over 100% of your unused funds from year to year. So as your account grows, you’re not obligated to spend it all within the calendar year. On the other hand, with an FSA, you must use the funds within the benefit year.
FSAs are also only available through your employer, whereas you may be able to open an HSA on your own. However, with an FSA, 100% of your elected amount is available as soon as the benefit year begins, while you build funds within an HSA.
Either way, both are designed to help with qualified medical expenses such as power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and power lift recliners.
For further information about the similarities and differences between HSAs and FSAs, there are many resources available online, including this breakdown from Fidelity.
Determining the eligibility of mobility products.
We’ve used the term “qualified medical expenses” a couple times now, and what you need to know is that ALL Pride Mobility products fall into that category (as mobility aids under IRS Publication 502) as long as the following conditions are met:
· Prescribed by a physician
· Used to treat, manage, or alleviate a medical condition
If you’re interested in having an HSA/FSA fund cover your expenses for a mobility device, it’s most important that you consult with your doctor or physician. They must determine that
the device is medically necessary, be it a power wheelchair, mobility scooter, or power lift recliner. Replacement parts such as batteries, tires, and controllers may also be eligible.
How to use your HSA/FSA for mobility products.
To use the funds in your HSA or FSA, you must first get a prescription or letter of medical necessity (LMN), which can be acquired through your physician. This documentation is necessary and states that the device you’d like to purchase is medically necessary. This letter should explain:
· The medical condition being treated
· Why the device is necessary for treatment or mobility
· How it supports the patient’s health and well-being
Next, check ahead with your local Pride Mobility provider to ensure that they accept HSA or FSA payments. Once confirmed that the provider is enrolled, use your HSA/FSA debit card at checkout, either in-store or online.
You also have the option to pay for the device in full and then submit for reimbursement. You would need to submit an itemized receipt, your LMN or prescription, and a claim form courtesy of your account provider. It’s important that you maintain all receipts and medical documentation for your records.
Consider CareCredit™ and alternative options.
If you’re seeking another option to help cover expenses for Pride Mobility products, CareCredit™ works like a credit card used primarily for healthcare expenses. Unlike a traditional credit card, there are special financing options available such as no-interest plans if paid within a promotional period.
Through CareCredit, there are affordable monthly payments to make power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and power lift recliners more accessible with no upfront costs. While it assists with payment for mobility devices, CareCredit can also be used for additional medical, dental, cosmetic, and even veterinary services.
Your local provider may also offer additional plans to help you pay for your mobility device. Always be sure to ask about in-house payment plans or third-party financing programs that you could apply for at the point of sale, either online or in-store. After your credit is assessed by the third party, you may be approved to receive the device immediately and determine a financing plan with the third-party provider.
It’s important to confirm ahead of time with your local Pride Mobility dealer that they accept CareCredit or third-party financing programs.

This month’s adventure with my Baja Wrangler 2 took me around my housing community to see the horses. The property I own is in a development that is horse friendly. The community was established in the 1970s with dirt roads and acreage to accommodate stables. There are multiple properties in my community that have stables and multiple horses, but the dirt road has since been replaced with gravel. It is still only one road in and one road out, so the ability to pull over in my truck isn’t an option.
This led me to have the great idea of taking my Wrangler 2 to see the horses. My property sits in the back side of the community, and it is about a quarter of a mile to the horses. As the road is only gravel, I would not be able to push myself in my manual chair.
With a quick transfer to my Wrangler 2, I was on my way out the driveway and down the gravel road. The Wrangler 2 handled the potholes and bumps flawlessly and I made it to the stables easily. The battery motors are so quiet on the wrangler 2 so the horses barely even recognized me coming. I was able to enjoy a couple of minutes admiring the beauty of these animals. The owners take great care of the horses and it’s not something I see every day living full time in the city.
On my way back to my house I passed the speed limit sign of the community. The speed limit is 15 miles per hour and the Baja wrangler 2 tops out at 11 miles per hour, so I didn’t have to worry about getting yelled at by the HOA members. We all know how HOA members can be!
It was a fun little trip to see the horses in my community. The ride on the Baja Wrangler 2 is a smooth and enjoyable ride. I now have ridden over 18 miles on the Baja Wrangler 2 and it has never failed me once.
With the summer coming to an end, I am excited to use my Wrangler 2 to explore some fall foliage as the trees change colors and shed their leaves. I have no doubt that when the leaves have fallen the Wrangler 2 will roll right over them without any problems.

There’s only one verified way to purchase a new Pride® Mobility electric wheelchair, mobility scooter, or power lift recliner – through an authorized dealer.
However, we realize there are many additional ways you may be able to obtain a product, either for yourself, a loved one, or a friend. Maybe you’re in the market for a power mobility device, and someone you know no longer needs theirs and is willing to sell it to you at a discount. Maybe you stumble upon a power chair or scooter at a garage sale. And maybe you’re surfing eBay or other resale sites and come across a unit that you think would work perfectly for you (or someone you know).
If you acquire a Pride Mobility unit in any fashion other than going through an authorized dealer, there are some points you must consider to ensure you get the most out of your mobility experience.
We always recommend purchasing through an authorized Pride dealer.
If considering an electric wheelchair, mobility scooter, or lift chair from Pride, we always recommend that you make a purchase through an authorized Pride dealer. You can use our convenient Dealer Locator tool to find one in your area.
Why go through a dealer? You can speak directly with someone knowledgeable about our products before making a purchase to learn all the features and the basics of how the unit operates. You’ll have a direct point of contact in case an issue arises with the product, so you can get in touch quickly with the dealer that sold you the unit. They can assist you with any issues after the purchase. And you can be assured that you’re receiving a new, quality unit that was shipped directly from Pride to the dealer.
It’s important to know the serial number.
Every Pride product has a unique serial number. This allows for accurate tracking and management of an individual unit among millions of others out in the world.
If you purchase a product secondhand, you should first make sure that the serial number is accessible. CLICK HERE to learn how to locate a serial number on Pride power chairs, scooters, and lift chairs. Having the serial number is critical if an issue with the product arises. It can confirm warranty status and past service history while expediting any repair process, as Pride will be able to verify the unit’s history.
Often, when products are purchased secondhand, batteries become an issue. The unit you receive may have been sitting idle for a long time or may have a battery that has been drained of most of its energy. When you need a new battery, having the serial number is
critical so that a local dealer or Pride Mobility can assist you as quickly as possible and determine whether the battery may be under warranty. Different products also work with different kinds of batteries, so the serial number will confirm the type of battery needed for a certain unit.
Without a serial number, the warranty status can’t be known, which means repairs or replacement parts could become costly. Verify that the serial number is accessible before acquiring a secondhand product.
Thoroughly vet the product and seller.
Our products are FDA Class II Medical Devices, which means they’re designed to aid individuals with mobility impairments. That designation also indicates that the product has undergone intense, rigorous testing, meeting the highest safety standards in the industry. Our Jazzy®, Go Go®, and VivaLift!® products, along with all our other brands, represent world-class quality and reliability in power mobility.
However, if you ‘re making a secondhand purchase, there’s no guarantee that the unit is functioning as intended, as opposed if you were to buy it directly from an authorized dealer. Make sure you’re given a chance to test the product thoroughly for any faults, defective functionality, electronic failures, or mechanical issues.
By the same token, if you’re buying online, be sure to ask many questions of the seller and receive assurance that once you receive the product, you’ll have a chance to test it out before deciding if you’d like to keep it.
You can access manuals and other information online.
At PrideMobility.com, we house all our products’ manuals, brochures, and other information. If you obtain a secondhand product, it may or may not be available with a physical owner’s manual. If not, you can check out our Resources page and find the manual that corresponds with your power wheelchair, mobility scooter, or power lift recliner.
Warranty information, specifications, and safety guides are all available on each individual product page. We recommend you review all these documents carefully prior to finalizing a secondhand purchase.
Our consumer support team is here for you.
No matter how you obtain a Pride product, we know you’ll have questions about it. Our dedicated, onshore consumer support team is here to assist you. Remember, as long as you have the serial number, we’ll be able to answer most of your questions and point you in the right direction.
From batteries, to parts, and everything in between, Pride Mobility is dedicated to making sure you get the most out of your mobility experience. We also encourage you to contact an authorized dealer in your area if ever in need of assistance with a product that you purchased secondhand.
There are many resources at your disposal to ensure you have a safe, comfortable experience with Pride products!
Go Go® is the first name in travel mobility. When you see that logo on the side of a scooter, you know you’re getting quality, durability, and innovation in every journey. Pride® Mobility is thrilled to continue our journey with YOU with the new Go Go® Endurance AL+! The second scooter in our Endurance series, the Go Go® Endurance AL+ builds upon its predecessor in several ways that make it stand out from the competition:
EZ Turn Pride’s patented, tight-turning technology allows this 4-wheel scooter to turn like a 3-wheel! With a 38.39” turning radius, users will navigate tighter spaces with ease.
Charge360 Our exclusive magnetic charging system is easy to operate without needing to line up any pins and requires only minimal dexterity.
Lighter Weight The aluminum frame makes this unit 13% lighter than the previous Endurance, and when disassembled, the front section is the heaviest piece, which weighs 35.2 lbs.
Infinite Tiller Adjustment The tiller adjustment mechanism is easy to operate by hand or foot from a seated position.
Front and rear suspension Robust CTS suspension provides a confident and comfortable ride across varied terrain, offering greater freedom to explore.
The LED headlights and front/rear lighting ensure your customers are well-equipped to ride day or night. Feather-touch disassembly separates the unit into five lightweight pieces, perfect for storage and transport. The AL+ is powered by an airline-compliant lithium battery, that has a range of up to 9 miles (8 Ah) and 18 miles (16 Ah) at 200 lbs. It supports a weight capacity of up to 325 lbs. and can reach a speed of up to 4.8 mph, making it ideal for every journey, near and far.
Travel mobility continues to evolve, and so do we. With features galore and quality on which you can depend, turn to the Go Go® Endurance AL+!
Whether a sprawling campus or just a couple of buildings, being able to safely and efficiently navigate a college or university environment is paramount for a successful learning experience. For those that require extra assistance in getting around on a daily basis, Pride® Mobility has you covered with a wide range of options depending on your needs.
We’ll take you through some of the electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters in our lineup that are ideal for getting around campus and navigating buildings of all types.
Portable, Foldable, Lightweight
If you plan on using your mobility device for daily classes, we first recommend looking into options made for travel. Pride Mobility continues to expand its lightweight lineup with convenient, high-quality mobility solutions that are easy to ride, easy to fold, and easy to store.
The Jazzy® Ultra Light is an electric wheelchair that weighs just 33 pounds without the battery and folds in a matter of seconds. With an extra cushion that comes standard and a mesh back, it’s a comfortable ride for getting across campus. You’ll have all day power with a 16.4-mile range (with an upgradable battery) and its top speed is the average walking speed at 3.7 MPH.
Another great option is the Go Go® Super Portable mobility scooter. True to its name, it folds to a height of 12” without having to remove the seat. It weighs just 41.6 pounds without the battery, and you can cruise up to 10 miles on a single charge. With a top speed of up to 4.5 MPH, you will get from building to building with ease.
With these foldable options, they take up minimal space in a dorm room or classroom and can be stowed away neatly. When it comes time to ride again, they unfold in just seconds so you can get moving to your next class.
Tight-Turning Options
Whether it’s the student center, the gymnasium, or a building where you’ll be attending class, there will be narrow hallways and areas in which you’ll need a mobility solution that can navigate the environment with ease.
Pride Mobility’s patented EZ Turn technology is ideal for these settings. It allows a 4-wheel scooter to have the turning ability of a 3-wheel scooter, which means you can combine stability with agility. It’s the best of both worlds for crisscrossing campus and moving throughout different buildings.
Models that contain EZ Turn include our Go Go Elite Traveller® 2, Victory® 10, Go Go® Sport, Go Go Elite Traveller® 2 Platinum, and Victory® Platinum. With these mobility scooters, you’ll confidently go from class to class, knowing you’re equipped with a solution that will not only keep you stable, but help you navigate narrow environments.
Elevating Power Chairs
Just as much as college is about furthering your education, it’s also a time to form long-lasting bonds with those who will become your closest friends. Socializing and having fun away from the classroom are an integral part of the overall experience.
Elevating electric wheelchairs provide the opportunity for eye-level interactions with others as well as access to surfaces such as kitchen and bathroom sinks and high-top tables. While not as nimble as our folding, lightweight options, these elevating power chairs have their own benefits and can be a great option depending on the environment.
Both our Jazzy Air®2 and Jazzy Air® MED models offer power seat elevation up to 12”. The Jazzy Air 2 reaches a top speed of up to 4 MPH, while the Jazzy Air MED reaches 3.7 MPH, and both can reach their maximum speeds even when fully elevated, allowing you to remain at eye-level while moving alongside family or friends.
These elevating options are full-size electric wheelchairs, and they’re engineered to handle some hillier, uneven terrain. Our Active-Trac® Suspension technology provides maximum stability even when the sidewalk or road gets a little bumpy. Whether getting around campus or an evening out, let the Jazzy Air 2 and Jazzy Air MED elevate your life!
Go Go Travel Mobility
Our Go Go® lineup of travel mobility scooters are designed to keep you moving no matter your destination. Some are foldable (like the aforementioned Go Go® Super Portable) while many conveniently disassemble into lightweight, easy-to-manage pieces.
Their smaller footprint means it’s easy to pass through doorways, get into elevators, and ultimately, store your unit, even in a smaller space such as a campus dorm.
For instance, the Go Go Elite Traveller® 2 separates into five lightweight pieces thanks to feather-touch disassembly. When you’re done for the day, it’s easy to separate the unit, and the heaviest piece is only 35 pounds. You can store the unit under a bed, in a closet, or in other smaller spaces with ease.
Other great options to consider in this lineup include the Go Go® Ultra X, Go Go® Carbon, and Go Go® Endurance Li. While each has its own unique characteristics, you can count on all Go Go models to deliver quality, independence, and travel convenience.
Accessories to Enhance Your Experience!
No matter what mobility solution is right for you, we have a diverse collection of accessories that can enhance your campus experience.
Transporting your textbooks, notebooks, and other items is made simple with our rear basket accessory. If you want a more secure option, our lockable storage pod keeps your belongings safe if you need to leave some behind before going to class. For storing smaller items, our saddle bag attaches directly to the armrest.
Staying connected with your friends is easy with our cell phone holder that conveniently attaches to the steering tiller of your mobility scooter. Similarly, a cup holder allows you to take a water bottle or other beverage with you without needing to carry it by hand.
You can purchase these accessories and more directly at GetPrideGear.com!
What’s Best for You?
Take all these factors into consideration and your individual environment to determine what might be the best power mobility solution for you when the time comes to embark on another school year.
As always, to help get you started, we recommend visiting the Dealer Locator page on our website, which can help find an authorized Pride Mobility dealer near you!
In May, I really wanted to test out the durability of the Baja Wrangler 2 outdoor mobility scooter by taking it to a nearby state park to ride some trails.
Because I don’t drive, and because it’s such a large vehicle, my parents need to help load it into my minivan, but it does fit in a Toyota Sienna using ATV ramps. I plan on making a tutorial about how it’s loaded and unloaded, which is fairly easy. Both of my parents are 65 years old so they’re able to get it in and out. The heaviest part is the seat that they take off. You could also tow it in a small trailer with a basic sedan.
Staunton State Park is one of the more accessible parks in Colorado, and it’s only about 25 miles away from Denver, so it’s not a crazy difficult mountain hike. They have a track chair program where they rent out track chairs and guide you along different trails. The trails themselves are very well-maintained, and they make it a priority to keep the trails accessible for the track chair. However, the Baja Wrangler 2 easily navigated the Davis Pond Trail. They allow on-leash fogs, which is always a plus!
The ride is a little bit rough due to the tight suspension, so if you have a hard time holding on or steering you might consider a track chair because that uses a joystick to propel itself. The Wrangler 2 uses a squeeze accelerator that’s at the bottom of the tiller, so it’s a little bit cumbersome to navigate if you don’t have a lot of dexterity in your hands and arms.
The weather was great, and we had an excellent day out on the trail! I didn’t run into any problems with accessibility, and I was able to go off-roading a little bit.
I think the best application for the Baja Wrangler 2 mobility scooter is for people who want to use it on a farm or in the woods or on a large property that they want to maintain. It is a little bit difficult to transport it frequently, but it would be really useful for someone wanting to do chores around their property. It also has a little hitch you can attach a wagon to if you want to drive around a country type area or are using it on a job site.
