Description
Heavy-duty capacity in a folding power wheelchair
The Merits Travel-Ease HD combines a 450 lb weight capacity with a folding frame, giving it substantially more capacity than the standard Travel-Ease while retaining a design that can collapse for storage and transportation.
At 186 lbs total, with an 86 lb heaviest piece, it remains a substantial chair to handle manually. If you plan to transport it regularly, a compatible vehicle lift can make loading and traveling with the chair more practical without requiring you to manually handle its full weight.
Wider seating options accommodate different fit requirements
The Travel-Ease HD is available with 18" to 22" seat widths, allowing you to select a wider seating configuration when needed.
Height-adjustable armrests and swing-away footrests add further positioning flexibility, while the joystick can be configured for either left- or right-hand operation during assembly.
Large foam-filled tires balance traction and low maintenance
The chair uses 9-inch foam-filled front tires and 12.5-inch foam-filled drive tires. Their foam-filled construction removes the need to monitor tire pressure while providing a larger wheel setup than many compact portable power chairs.
Rear anti-tip wheels are also included as part of the chair’s standard configuration.
Ground clearance supports more than smooth indoor surfaces
With 4.8 inches of ground clearance, the Travel-Ease HD provides additional space beneath the frame for navigating minor surface changes and everyday obstacles.
Its 25-inch turning radius keeps maneuverability relatively compact for a heavy-duty chair of this size, while rear-wheel drive provides the familiar layout of a traditional power wheelchair.
Up to 18 miles of range for everyday use
The Travel-Ease HD travels at up to 4 mph and provides up to 18 miles of range per charge. Power comes from a 24V 240W motor, paired with two 33Ah U1 AGM batteries and a 5A off-board charger.
A heavy-duty folding chair focused on capacity and practicality
The Travel-Ease HD stands apart by combining 450 lb capacity, wider seating options, folding construction, larger foam-filled wheels, and an 18-mile range in one chair.
For someone who wants the structure and capacity of a heavy-duty power wheelchair without giving up the convenience of a folding frame, it offers a practical middle ground between portable and full-size designs.
