Jazzy Carbon 27X

The Jazzy® Carbon 27X is a carbon-fiber Pride® travel power chair with an X-frame that folds flat in a vertical position. Pride publishes a weight of about 27.5 pounds without the battery, a 275-pound weight capacity, a top speed of up to 3.7 mph, and a range of up to 8 miles. Folded dimensions are listed at 34 inches long by 12 inches wide by 30 inches high. Flip-up carbon-fiber arms, collapsible back handles, and adjustable footrests are part of the design.

The model name is Jazzy Carbon 27X, and the battery is a 24V 10 Ah pack. We will compare it with the Carbon 27 if you want a 300-pound capacity and a different fold, or with the Carbon HD if you need a larger seat and a 400-pound capacity. The 27X fold is distinctive; it is worth seeing in person.

Comfort and everyday use

The vertical X-fold is the reason people ask for the 27X by name: it packs into a tall, relatively narrow folded package rather than a flatter rectangle. At a published 27.5 pounds without the battery it is light to handle, with a 275-pound capacity that is lower than the Carbon 27. Visit the showroom or call us and we will work through how you will lift, store, and transport the chair.

Drive, seating, and technology

Do not choose the 27X only because it is light. The fold, the 275-pound capacity, and the 10 Ah pack all have to match the rider and the trip. We will put it next to the 27 and the Ultra Light so you can feel those differences.

Configurations and who it is for

This is a good chair if the vertical fold is what you need and the 275-pound capacity is enough. If you need 300 or 400 pounds, sit in the 27 or the Carbon HD.
