Jazzy Carbon

The battery power, longevity of the battery, speed, maneuverability, and ease of folding are unmatched. Also very lightweight, easy to figure out even for people using it for the first time. My friends have had no trouble figuring out how to fold and load, or unfold the chair. Changed my life. Also surprisingly good at off-roading on Sandy trails, only slides on soft dirt and sands when going on an incline. 

The only thing I wish I could change is how squeaky it is. Going over a bump, adjusting, turning, scooting back, it’s going to squeak. It’s worth it for how lightweight it is, however. Also, the beep when turning the chair on is very loud, disturbs everyone in my office. I’ve figured out muffling the joystick with a pillow helps the beep not be so intrusive. Would love to be able to disable the beep.

78 yrs old, lower back chronic pain spinal stenosis. Only able to walk short distance one room to another. Perfect for me to fold and carry out.

Flexibility and turning inside my home is the best thing. Don't have to use my arms as in a normal wheelchair. Glad I could get an attachment for a coffee holder. I am 81 and also got a doorway "bridge" to get outside onto my porch so I like that! The footrest pulling up is very helpful for me. Charging is normal but battery life lasts almost all day never a problem!

My girls are just about able to fold it up and into the trunk but it's a job for them. Might be easier if it would be in two parts somehow.. I also must be careful between the doorways; the wheels get twisted into the doorframe sometimes. Maybe a wheel/door cushion is possible.

David is my son-in-law. This is Dominic Iannelli who asked him to get the chair for me while I was in rehab!I am unable to put and pressure on my feet

Light easy to fold

The front wheel steel holders should have protective plastic or rubber coating on outside. When they bump things they get scratched and sharp. Can cut your ankles or damage things like clothing or walls

My husband is 71 and completely handicapped for 9 years this is so convenient love it

I love the fact that it folds up and fits in the back of my SUV.  Also I can travel on airlines or cruise lines — chair/batteries are approved.

I wish that it could handle a little heavier terrain.  I’m not so sure how it will navigate some of the cobblestone streets in other parts of the world.

I have a rare genetic disease that affects my mobility — some days worse than others.

light weight, easy to put in the car. great for shopping and going to the movies. level of independence not having someone pushing you around in a wheelchair. We like that it incorporates a fold out footrest. Battery easy to charge in and out of the chair. Charge lasts a long time........

Haven't found any so far.

Purchased for my wife. She has been using a wheelchair for a couple of years and wanted something easier to use walking the dog and getting the mail.

Lightweight and easy to fold and unfold.

Better throttle control and motors.

She is 80 years old, weighs 160lbs, only needs the jazzy carbon for sightseeing and other activities that require walking long distances.

This chair has been great for my teenage son who cannot push a manual chair. The portability of this chair has been a godsend. It folds and unfolds very easily, and fits compactly in the car trunk. It was the lightest chair (about 40 pounds) I could find with this level of performance. We can take it to school, camp, the hospital, etc. My son has regained some of his independence (as have I). The chair is sturdy and well engineered. It is narrower than some chairs which is essential for fitting through doorways. It has a good turning radius which is nice for indoor spaces. It zips along nicely, and performs fairly well in dry grass and decently on uneven surfaces. We have not had problems with it tipping or rolling. The joy stick control took some time to get used to, but works well. The battery life has been great so far. We have owned it about a month.

Although this is the lightest chair I found relative to the power I wanted, it is still plenty heavy for me (50ish reasonably fit mom) to lift. It is really awkward to load into a car truck with one person. Taking the battery out, the seat off, and unloading the carrying pouch makes it lighter, but is more of a hassle. The chair also tends to unfold itself as you are trying to wrestle it into the trunk. My son wants the chair to be more powerful on uneven surfaces (loose gravel, uneven pavement, wet grass), where it tends to lose traction. Based on my online shopping, something more "all terrain" also comes with more weight. We bought a more comfortable cushion, and I am glad we did. The standard cushion was pretty hard, and had a grippy covering that made it hard to transfer without leaving his pants behind.
