December 12, 2022
Michael FranzPride Mobility has released the Jazzy Carbon, a lightweight portable power wheelchair designed with travelers in mind. It’s made with a carbon fiber and aluminum frame that weighs in at 39.4 pounds or 43.6 pounds with the battery attached. The frame folds quickly for easy storage in a car or on an airplane.
The Jazzy Carbon is equipped with an FAA-compliant removable lithium battery with a maximum range of 9.3 miles per charge. It also features a removable joystick with an integrated USB charger, a removable cushion, a padded backrest with storage and under-seat storage. The Jazzy Carbon has a top speed of 3.7 mph, a front suspension system for a smooth ride and a freewheel mode so it can be pushed by a caregiver.
“By expanding our retail lineup with more travel products, our providers can meet the needs of additional customers who want to travel but require a power chair to do so,” said Jeff Distasio, vice president of Pride Sales. “The Jazzy Carbon takes it one step further with fantastic selling features, like the standard lithium battery, storage and a removable joystick.”
The Jazzy Carbon is available from a variety of vendors starting around $2,499. For more information, please visit the Jazzy Carbon website.

Is it weatherproof?
It’s not weatherproof.
I have a Fold and Go that I’m very happy with!! It’s completely weatherproof
I’ve driven my Fold and Go through the rain!
Where did you purchase the Fold and Go weather proof chair from? I need it for my travels
Now an American company taking credit for an Asian design concept that has been around for over 12 years now. All they did was make it from Carbon fibre to make it harder to repair and more likely to be impact damaged by airline staff than all the alloy versions.
A great choice for travel
And still likely to be destroyed by airlines.
Not unless you check it in

Fair enough. Then lost instead. I kid.
How does a single person travel with this chair? I can just lift 25 lbs.
What is the maximum weight the chair holds?
