Jazzy Elite ES

The Jazzy® Elite ES is a compact front-wheel-drive Pride® power chair with a 24.75-inch turning radius and a relatively simple frame. Pride publishes a 300-pound weight capacity, a top speed of up to 4 mph, and a range of up to 15 miles. It uses U-1 batteries and a 9-inch solid drive wheel, so it feels different from the Elite 14’s larger wheel.

The model number is JELITEES. The seat is a depth-adjustable, limited-recline high-back with a headrest. We will compare it with the Go Chair if portability matters more, or with the Elite 14 if you want a larger drive wheel and NF-22 batteries.

Comfort and everyday use

This is the more compact Elite: a smaller drive wheel, U-1 batteries, and a footprint meant for tighter indoor use than the Elite 14, without moving all the way into a folding Carbon or a five-piece Go Chair. Indoor maneuverability should be tested in a real doorway, which is why we invite you to the showroom.

• 24.75-inch published turning radius
• 300-pound weight capacity
• Depth-adjustable high-back seat with a headrest

Drive, seating, and technology

Front-wheel drive with a 9-inch wheel has a different over-threshold feel than the Elite 14. The high-back seat is still a full everyday seat, not a travel stadium cushion. If you need portability, a Go Chair or a Carbon may be the better comparison; if you want a more substantial everyday Elite, sit on the 14 or the HD.

Configurations and who it is for

JELITEES is a single Pride model. It is a good chair if you want a compact front-wheel Jazzy for daily indoor use and you do not need a folding travel frame.
