Description
The Golden LiteRider Envy GP162 is a rear-wheel power wheelchair that separates into four liftable pieces for transport, rated to 300 lbs (136 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Four-piece frame: the seat, battery pack, front half and rear half separate; the heaviest piece is 37 lbs (16.8 kg).
- Disassembly: fold the seat back, lift the seat off, remove the battery pack, then lift the frame off the drivetrain.
- Drive: rear-wheel drive with 9 in (22.9 cm) flat-free drive wheels, 6 in (15.2 cm) casters and 3 in (7.6 cm) anti-tip wheels.
- Speed and range: 3.5 mph (5.6 km/h) and up to 15.5 miles (24.9 km) at 200 lbs (91 kg).
- Controls: a 40 amp Dynamic LiNX controller, electronic speed control and electro-mechanical brakes, with freewheel mode.
- Battery: two 22 Ah batteries in a 27 lbs (12.2 kg) pack, with an off-board charger.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a rider up to 300 lbs (136 kg) who wants a chair that comes apart for a car boot.
- It suits a carer who can lift 37 lbs (16.8 kg).
- Choose a folding chair if one piece suits better; choose a mid-wheel base for turns tighter than 28.5 in (72.4 cm).
Will it fit?

Using it day to day

- Never sit in the chair while it is transported; tie the empty chair down with an approved system.
- Use freewheel only on level ground; do not operate or store the chair in rain, snow or below-freezing temperatures.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- Stay within 300 lbs (136 kg), one rider.
- The maximum incline is 6 degrees; the chair is not made for steps over 1.5 in (3.8 cm).
