Description
The Travel Buggy Grand Tourer GT is a folding power chair in matte white or black, with an 18 x 18 in (45.7 x 45.7 cm) seat.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Folding frame: folds to 29.5 x 23.6 x 13.8 in (74.9 x 59.9 x 35.1 cm) and locks when folded.
- Loading wheels: built in with two angles for boot heights; they cut the lifting weight by up to 33%.
- Drive and battery: two 250 W brushless motors turn 10 in (25.4 cm) rear PU wheels and 8 in (20.3 cm) front casters; one 24V 12Ah lithium pack charges in 6-7 hours through either of two ports.
- Speed and range: 6 km/h (3.7 mph) and up to 25 km (15.5 mi); it climbs 12 degrees and turns in 25 in (63.5 cm).
- Controls: three modes (Soft, Normal, Sport), LCD screen, USB-C port and lap belt.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits a traveller who lifts the folded chair into a car at 49 lbs (22.2 kg).
- It suits a rider who wants an 18 in (45.7 cm) seat.
- Choose a carbon chair for lower weight, or a non-folding chair for a larger seat.
Will it fit?
- Rider: seat 18 x 18 in (45.7 x 45.7 cm) with a 3 in (7.6 cm) cushion; backrest 17.5-22 in (44.5-55.9 cm).
- Size: folded 29.5 x 23.6 x 13.8 in (74.9 x 59.9 x 35.1 cm); 49 lbs (22.2 kg) without battery and 53 lbs (24 kg) gross.
- Ground: 1.57 in (40 mm) obstacle clearance and a 12 degree incline.
- Turns: 25 in (63.5 cm) radius, so measure tight halls and doorways.
Using it day to day
- Unfold: lift the footrest, pull the safety lock up, open the frame and press it until it locks.
- Fold: reverse the steps; the safety lock engages.
- Load: tilt it onto the loading wheels, set the angle to the boot height, grip the backrest frame and push it in.
- Charge: plug the supplied charger into either port and wait 6-7 hours for the light to turn from red to green.
- Battery care: recharge before the last light goes out; for long storage, charge to 50% every six months.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- Avoid rain, snow, ice, salt and standing water, and do not carry passengers.
- Use the lap belt whenever the chair moves.
- Warranty: frame 5 years, motor 2 years, control system 2 years, battery 1 year and wear parts 90 days.
Which version should I choose?
- Colours: matte white or matte black.
- Add-ons: flight kit, swing-away joystick mount, headrest, cane holder, cup holder and an extra battery.
