How does the Merits P101 Travel Ease fold?

It folds like a manual wheelchair, with the seat and backrest folding together. The two batteries sit in a folding bracket under the seat and come out with straps, so you can lift the frame and batteries separately. The heaviest piece is 86 lb and the full chair weighs 150 lb.

How much weight can the Travel Ease P101 hold?

The P101 is rated for riders up to 300 lb on a steel frame. The sling seat is 18 to 20 in wide and 16 in deep, the backrest adjusts from 15 to 19 in, and the seat sits 20 in off the floor. Flip-up armrests make it easier to get in and out.

How far does the P101 go on a charge?

Merits rates the P101 for up to 18 miles per charge on two 33Ah U1 AGM batteries. Rider weight, hills, rough ground and cold weather lower the real distance. The batteries come out for charging, and the charger is a 5 amp off-board unit.

Will the Merits Travel Ease fit through doors and turn in small rooms?

The P101 is 24 to 26 in wide depending on seat size, 43 in long and 36 in tall, with a 23 in turning radius for hallways and tight rooms. Measure the clear opening of your narrowest door, since many home doors are only 28 to 30 in.

Can the P101 go outdoors and up ramps?

Yes. It is rear wheel drive with 12.5 in drive wheels and 8 in front wheels, all foam filled so they cannot go flat. It is rated for a 10 degree incline and has 4.5 in of ground clearance, with 1.5 in anti-tippers at the back. Top speed is 4 mph.

What controller and brakes does the Travel Ease P101 use?

It uses a programmable PG VSI controller that can be mounted on the right or the left. Braking is regenerative and electromagnetic, with auxiliary brakes as well, so the chair holds its place when you stop.

What leg rests come with the Merits P101?

The P101 has swing-away leg rests, and elevating leg rests are available as an option. Swing-away rests move out of the way for transfers. The frame comes in a Silvertone finish.

What HCPCS code is listed for the Travel Ease P101?

The spec sheet lists HCPCS code K0822. A code alone does not mean a plan will pay. Medicare Part B covers a power wheelchair only when it is medically necessary, with a written order from your treating provider, and through a Medicare enrolled supplier.

How is my chair delivered?

Delivery to your curb is free. Check the packaging and the chair before you sign for it, and call 1-888-233-5563 if anything looks wrong.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. Choose Klarna at checkout to pay over time. See how financing works.

Can I talk to someone before I buy?

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