Jazzy Carbon 27

The Jazzy® Carbon 27 is a carbon-fiber Pride® folding travel power chair with a breathable mesh back, a 17-by-17-inch cushion, and front suspension. Pride publishes a weight of 27.8 pounds without the battery, a 300-pound weight capacity, a top speed of up to 3.7 mph, and a range of up to 9.3 miles. The fold secures with a strap, and folded dimensions are listed at 27.5 by 23.4 by 13.38 inches.

The model name is Jazzy Carbon 27, and the battery is a 12 Ah lithium pack. We will compare it with the 27X if you prefer the vertical X-fold, or with the Ultra Light if you want a slightly different travel-chair layout. Flip-up carbon-fiber arms are standard.

Comfort and everyday use

At a published 27.8 pounds without the battery, the 27 is one of the lighter Carbon chairs to handle, with a mesh back and front suspension that many riders notice on uneven sidewalks. Practice the fold with us and talk about the vehicle or closet the chair has to fit. If coming to West Springfield is difficult, call or text us to talk it through.

Drive, seating, and technology

The 27 and 27X folds are different, and that is worth seeing in person. The 27 has a 300-pound capacity; the 27X is published at 275 pounds. The Carbon HD is the one to sit in if you need a 20-inch seat and a 400-pound capacity.

Configurations and who it is for

This is a good chair if you want a light Carbon with a 17-inch seat and a 300-pound capacity, and the strap-secured fold suits how you travel.
