Merits P301 Gemini
The Merits P301 Gemini is a hearty beast of an electric chair. It operates off two 50AH batteries. Standard to this chair is its 450 pound weight capacity which is one of the highest in the industry. Depending on the weight of the rider and what type of ground you are driving on, these powerful batteries can take you around 20 miles more or less before needing to recharge. To recharge, all you have to do is plug the charger into the joystick...no more bending over or crouching down to plug it in.
You can elevate or lower your 22” x 22” high density foam seat up to a 10-inch variation. It is important to note that when using the elevating seat option, the maximum weight capacity of the chair reduces to 350 pounds. The swivel seat makes it easy to adjust whether you are sitting at a table, taking a nap, and it completely folds down for easy storage in a smaller area. Armrests flip up if needed or out for more seating space and can be fine-tuned for comfort.
The Gemini’s power doesn’t stop there. It offers a max 5 mph speed limit making it great for indoors or outdoors. The joystick can swing away, the foot plate flips up when needed, and there is a standard seat belt for safety. It has a sophisticated programmable controller and 14” aluminum cast drive wheels for superior maneuverability. Additional options available for purchase are elevating leg rests, oxygen tank holder, cane and crutch holder, rear basket, walker holder, power seat lift, or canopy.
