11. Can I take my Journey Air Chair on an airplane?
- Yes, and here are a few things you need to know before taking your Journey Air Chair on a plane. Your Journey Air Chair should qualify as free baggage with most airlines, but you can call your airline prior to your trip to make sure. You can ride your Journey Air Chair all the way up to the gate and down the jetway. As you get to the end of the jetway, you will need to remove the Journey Air Chair battery from the back of the chair, fold your Journey Air Chair and hand it to a flight attendant to stow it under the plane. Take the battery on the plane with you to your seat. Be sure to contact your specific airline to ask for their procedures for transporting a battery-powered vehicle, and see your Journey Air USA User Manual for more info.
12. Does the Journey Air Chair have reverse mode?
- Yes, the Journey Air Chair does have a powered reverse.
13. Can I manually push the Journey Air Chair?
- The Journey Air Chair can be pushed about easily when there is no rider in it; however, it is not specifically intended that seated users be pushed around in wheelchair fashion by others as an alternative to the chair's foremost purpose: a powered self-driving experience. (If you wish to prevent your Journey Air Chair from being pushed from behind, you simply lock it in place.)
14. Is the footplate adjustable?
- The swinging footplate is not adjustable; however, the Journey Air Chair is designed to accommodate people of a wide variety of sizes.
15. Is the seat or backrest adjustable?
- The seat and backrest are not adjustable. Some Journey Air Chair owners with special comfort needs have chosen to add an additional cushion.
16. Can the Journey Air Chair be used on heavily padded or thick carpet?
- Customers that are close to the Journey Air Chair's weight limit of 240 lbs may find that the Journey Air Chair is a little more difficult to use on very thick or heavily padded carpet when operating on low speed. The solution is to simply increase your speed setting, thereby increasing the ability of the Journey Air Chair to move around on these types of surfaces without significantly increasing speed.

- Depending upon usage (speed, weight, etc.), the Journey Air Chair's battery will last up to ten miles of use.

20. How do I know if I need to charge the battery?
- There is a battery indicator located on the control panel that tells you the battery life.
21. Is the battery included in the weight?
- Yes, 37.5 pounds includes the weight of the battery.
22. Will the charger work in foreign countries?
- Yes. The charger will operate on 100V or 220V, but you will need an inexpensive plug converter to fit the outlets of your foreign destination.
