Journey Air Elite – Lightweight Folding Power Chair

At 26 lbs without the battery, the Air Elite is one of the lightest folding power chairs available — and one of the most capable. A carbon fiber frame, dual brushless motors, and an FAA-approved lithium-ion battery make it the chair for people who refuse to let travel be the reason they stay home. Fold it in seconds, roll it like luggage, and board the plane without checking a thing. FDA registered.
