Newest Power Wheelchairs Released in 2020

Now that we half passed the halfway mark into the year, it is important for us to release a post highlighting which power wheelchair manufacturers are continuing to innovate. Being able to release fantastic products is a great way to not only stay relevant but to deliver on improvements that customers want.

It is clear that with the recent Coronavirus, traveling domestically is at an all-time low with airlines canceling thousands of flights. For this reason, and for your safety, it is clear that you may just want a travel chair to be able to go to a local park where you can keep your social distancing yet get out of the house to enjoy some fresh air. Without further due, here are the latest and greatest to hit the market.

Newest Power Wheelchairs in 2020

 

Merits Health USA EZ Go Deluxe Power Wheelchair

The first on our list is a power wheelchair from Merits Health USA which offers great products and at a great price. They won’t be the most expensive nor will they be the cheapest. However, you can expect to get a bunch of value for your money. The newest chair released by Merits Health USA is the Merits EZ Go Deluxe power wheelchair.

This power wheelchair is considered a travel power chair and competes directly with the Go Chair from Pride Mobility. The Merits EZ Go Deluxe is a bit more expensive than its comparable but that might be because it is a newer release. The EZ Go can be had for $1,699 while the Pride Go Chair is $1,499. With the EZ Go Deluxe, you expect the following specifications: 4mph top speed, up to 12 miles of travel range, and a weight capacity of up to 300lbs.

E-Wheels M48 Power Wheelchair

Next on our list of newest power wheelchairs in 2020 would be the EW M48 power wheelchair from E-Wheels. E-Wheels has actually released two new electric wheelchairs this year thus far and we’ll take a look at both of them and how they compare and contrast. Pictured below is the EW M48 power wheelchair.

You’ll instantly notice that the M48 power wheelchair is a full-size wheelchair. It would certainly be more difficult to travel with than a power chair like the Go Chair or Merits EZ Go Deluxe. However, if you do not intend on traveling often, this unit offers extreme value. E-Wheels is known for offering extremely low pricing when compared to legacy brands like Pride Mobility or Golden Technologies.  The EW-M48 can be had for just $1,879 which is truly a steal for a full-size power wheelchair. Keep in mind that other power wheelchairs in this category routinely go for $2,500+. With the EW-M48, you expect the following specifications: a 4.2mph top speed, up to 12.5 miles of travel range, and a weight capacity of up to 300lbs.

E-Wheels M47 Power Wheelchair

As mentioned, E-Wheels has released two newer power wheelchairs in 2020. The second one is a more travel-friendly option known as the EW-M47 power wheelchair by E-Wheels. It is more friendly because of the category it was designed to be included in which is the folding power wheelchair category.

As mentioned, if you intend on traveling often you wouldn’t want to get into a full-size power wheelchair as it would be more difficult for you to travel with. On the other hand, the M47 would be a breeze to travel with as it easily folds to reduce its size. However, the main difference between a travel power chair and a folding power chair is the fact that the travel chair can be disassembled into various parts. This makes the heaviest piece typically lighter than the weight of a folding wheelchair. You might be wondering what the cost of the EW-M47 is. You can purchase the EW-M47 for just $1,799. As you might expect, this is much cheaper than other folding power wheelchair options.

The Pride Mobility Select 6 2.0 Power Wheelchair

Pride Mobility is considered one of the legacy brands in the power wheelchair and mobility scooter industry. Like E-Wheels, they have also released two newer power wheelchairs. They are the top dog in terms of sales as well as reputation and for a fantastic reason. They offer industry-leading parts & labor warranty which is very unique. Most manufacturers will only do a 1-year parts warranty and make you pay for the labor.

So you’ll notice the Select 6 2.0 by Pride Mobility is a full-size power wheelchair that is built to compete with units like the E-Wheels M-48 power chair. It certainly will depend if you are more value-oriented or prefer a recognized leader and willing to pay the price for the quality. There is no question this unit has a fantastic warranty. This unique model can be yours for $3,529.00. Specs do not fall short and include a 4.3mph top speed, up to 19 miles of travel range, and a weight capacity up to 300lbs.

Pride Mobility Jazzy Air 2 Elevating Power Wheelchair

In a class of its own, the Pride Mobility Jazzy Air 2 is one of the most sophisticated power wheelchairs on the market today without question.

For instance, if you need to reach something in a cabinet you can remain in your power chair. Also, if you want to have a conversation and be eye to eye with someone you now can be!
