About the Journey Air Lightweight Folding Power Chair
At only 35 pounds without the battery, the Journey Air is one of the lightest power chairs in the world! And it combines that lightweight portability with world class performance. Its simple to use joystick and powerful dual drive system enable you to zip around quickly and safely.
It is also one of the easiest chairs to maneuver inside a home as it fits easily through doorways, and can go right up to a table or desk. It also features two brushless motors which work independently, enabling this agile chair to turn on the spot.
Once you are done riding, just one pull on the seat handle folds it up for transporting, and there is also a fold-down back to make it even easier to stow and store. The Journey Air Lightweight Folding Power Chair also features flat-free tires and rear anti-tippers for added convenience and safety.
Just imagine how this chair can improve your life and make it easier for loved ones and caregivers to accompany you to activities and events you would have missed in the past.

Is the Journey Air Chair right for me if I am handicapped or disabled?

Can I take my Journey Air Chair on an airplane?
Yes, and here are a few things you need to know before taking your Journey Air Chair on a plane. Your Journey Air Chair should qualify as free baggage with most airlines, but you can call your airline prior to your trip to make sure. You can ride your Journey Air Chair all the way up to the gate and down the jetway. As you get to the end of the jetway, you will need to remove the Journey Air Chair battery from the back of the chair, fold your Journey Air Chair and hand it to a flight attendant to stow it under the plane. Take the battery on the plane with you to your seat. Be sure to contact your specific airline to ask for their procedures for transporting a battery-powered vehicle, and see your Journey Air USA User Manual for more info. Here is a link to the FAA regulations regarding battery-powered chairs.
Does the Journey Air Chair have reverse mode?
Yes, the Journey Air Chair does have a powered reverse.
Can I manually push the Journey Air Chair?
The Journey Air Chair can be pushed about easily when there is no rider in it; however, it is not specifically intended that seated users be pushed around in wheelchair fashion by others as an alternative to the chair's foremost purpose: a powered self-driving experience. (If you wish to prevent your Journey Air Chair from being pushed from behind, you simply lock it in place.)
Is the footplate adjustable?
The swinging footplate is not adjustable; however, the Journey Air Chair is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes.
Is the seat or backrest adjustable?
The seat and backrest are not adjustable. Some Journey Air Chair owners with special comfort needs have chosen to add an additional cushion.
Can the Journey Air Chair be used on heavily padded or thick carpet?
Customers that are close to the Journey Air Chair's weight limit of 240 lbs may find that the Journey Air Chair is a little more difficult to use on very thick or heavily padded carpet when operating on low speed. The solution is to simply increase your speed setting, thereby increasing the ability of the Journey Air Chair to move around on these types of surfaces without significantly increasing speed.
How long will the battery last on a single charge?
Depending upon usage (speed, weight, etc.) the Journey Air Chair's battery will last up to ten miles of use.
How long will the battery last before needing to replace it?
The short answer is it depends on the usage and conditions. The battery on average lasts for several years for many of our customers.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
Charging the battery takes 6-8 hours or less depending on the level of power already used. With a range of up to ten miles, most owners rarely run the battery all the way down in a single day.
How do I know if I need to charge the battery?
There is a battery indicator located on the control panel that tells you the battery life.
Is the battery included in the weight?
Yes, 37.5 pounds incudes the weight of the battery.
Will the charger work in foreign countries?
Yes. The charger will operate on on 100V or 220V, but you will need an inexpensive plug converter to fit the outlets of your foreign destination.
Shipping
After placing your order, please allow about 1 to 3 business days (Mon-Fri) to process your order and get it shipped out of the warehouse. After that, please allow another 4 to 5 days on the road. Generally, we tell our customers to expect a delivery within 5 to 8 total days from the day of purchase. We use standard ground shipping (UPS or FedEx) for most items, but larger items such as beds or recliners require freight shipping and usually take about 1 to 3 weeks for delivery. If you order a larger item that requires freight delivery, the shipping company will call you about a week before the estimated delivery date to schedule the drop off. Expedited shipping is currently not an option. We do not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, any U.S. Territory, APO/FPO, or any other international address. Please note that orders could arrive in multiple packages. These shipping times are only estimates, as we occasionally experience delays due to supply chain issues.
Returns
If you have any issues with your item, we are just a phone call or email away. We offer returns within 30 days of the purchase date, except for FreeRider and EWheels products, which have a 14-day return policy. Please note that Journey, Tzora, and JBH items are non-returnable. To start a return, contact us at info@restoremobility.com or call 800-971-5369. To qualify, the item must be in new and unused condition, and in the original box and packaging. You will be responsible for two fees: return shipping and, in some cases, a restocking fee. Restocking fees vary by item, ranging from none to 5%-25%. Since each vendor has different policies, please contact us for details about your specific item. Once your return is accepted, we will provide instructions on how and where to send your package. Please note that most add-on accessories and any white glove delivery fees are non-refundable.
Package Refusal
If you choose to refuse the package for any reason, it will be processed as a standard return, and all applicable return fees, including return shipping, restocking fees, and processing fees, will apply as outlined above.
Package Undeliverable
If the package cannot be delivered due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g., a blocked driveway or the delivery truck being unable to access your location) but you still wish to receive the package, you will be responsible for any re-delivery fees. Additionally, you will be responsible for covering any storage fees incurred during the time required to arrange a new delivery plan.
Damages/Issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return. Once approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at info@restoremobility.com.
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to go through the return process for the item you have, and once the return is accepted, you would then make a separate purchase for the new item.
Cancellations
If you wish to cancel your order, please let us know as soon as possible. The sooner the better! In general, we will try to capture your payment at the time of shipment or after 7 days from the date of purchase to avoid any processing fees due to cancellation. However, if you choose to cancel your order after we have captured your payment, then you will be subject to a 2.9% processing fee.
