Overview

Merits Avid Velocity P325 with power recline opened toward 150 degrees

Group 3 mid wheel drive rehab powerbase with 0 to 50 degree power tilt, 90 to 150 degree shear reduction recline and an optional 12 inch power seat lift, all on a compact 24 inch base that fits real doorways.

The Velocity P325 is the mid wheel drive powerbase from Avid Rehab, the complex rehab division of Merits Health Products. It is coded K0848, K0849, K0856 and K0861, which places it squarely in Group 3 territory where full power positioning matters as much as drive performance. The headline features are a 0 to 50 degree posterior tilt built around a center of gravity design, so your weight stays balanced over the base as you tilt, and a 90 to 150 degree recline with shear reduction that slides the backrest as it opens to keep your skin from dragging against the upholstery.

Under the seat, the Velocity keeps a genuinely compact footprint. The base is 24 inches wide, overall length is 36 inches and the turning radius is 26 inches, so it maneuvers through standard doorways and tight bathrooms that stop larger rehab chairs. Seat to floor height starts at a low 16.5 inches, which helps with table clearance and vehicle headroom, and the optional 12 inch telescoping power lift raises the whole seat for eye level conversation and reaching shelves or counters.

Dual 275W motors deliver a 6 mph top speed, and twin MK 22NF batteries are rated for up to 18 miles per charge. Tension adjustable suspension at both the front and rear lets a technician tune ride firmness to your weight and terrain, and bright LED lights come standard. Electronics start with the proven P&G VR2 and step up to R-Net when expandable controls, attendant modules or alternative drive inputs are part of the prescription. Seating is adjustable from 16 to 22 inches in width and depth, with depth changes in 1 inch increments, so the chair can be fitted precisely and refitted as needs change.

Is the Merits Avid Velocity a Group 3 power wheelchair?

Yes. The Velocity P325 carries HCPCS codes K0848, K0849, K0856 and K0861, the code families used for Group 3 mid wheel drive power wheelchairs with single or multiple power seating options. Your supplier and clinician set the exact billed code from your configuration.

What power seating does the Velocity offer?

Power tilt runs from 0 to 50 degrees on a center of gravity design, so your weight stays balanced over the base. Power recline runs from 90 to 150 degrees with shear reduction. An optional 12 in telescoping power lift raises the whole seat, and power articulating footplate options are available. All functions work from the joystick.

How much weight can the Avid Velocity hold?

The Velocity P325 is rated for riders up to 300 lb. Seat width and depth adjust from 16 to 22 in, with depth in 1 in steps, and the backrest is 23 in tall. The seat can be refitted as needs change rather than replacing the chair.

Will the Velocity fit through my doorways?

The base is 24 in wide and 36 in long with a 26 in turning radius, which suits interior doorways and tight bathrooms. Seat to floor height starts at 16.5 in for table clearance. Measure your clear door openings first, since many home doors are only 28 to 30 in wide.

How far and how fast does the Avid Velocity go?

Merits rates the Velocity at up to 18 miles per charge on two MK 22NF batteries, either 55Ah AGM or 51Ah gel. Dual 275 watt motors give a 6 mph top speed. Real range varies with rider weight, terrain, battery age and how often you use the power seat.

What controls can the Velocity use?

The Velocity starts with a PG VR2 controller and steps up to R-Net when expandable controls, attendant modules or alternative drive inputs are part of the prescription. LED lights come standard.

Can the Velocity go outdoors and up ramps?

It is rated for a maximum incline of 6 degrees, so it suits gentle ramps rather than steep hills. Tension adjustable front and rear suspension can be tuned to your weight and terrain. The drive wheels are 14 by 3 in foam filled and the casters are solid, so there are no flats. Ground clearance is 2.5 in.

Can the Avid Velocity be transported in a car?

No. At 320 to 404 lb depending on configuration, the Velocity does not fold or come apart for trunk transport. Plan on a ramp equipped van, a vehicle lift or accessible transportation.

Does Medicare or insurance pay for the Velocity P325?

Not through us. Heavy Duty Mobility does not hold a Medicare supplier number, so Medicare will not pay for a chair bought here, and we do not bill private insurance directly. Some private plans reimburse buyers, so ask your insurer first. We can provide an invoice and proof of purchase for your claim.

How do I order?

Can I talk to someone before I buy?

Yes. Call 1-888-233-5563. Real people answer, business hours and weekends.
