Yes!  The joystick can be set on either the right or left side. 

When ordering a Deluxe Model, we will ask you to specify the side the joystick to be set on as it is required.  With the Standard Model, it is set during setup of the chair (once you've received it), you can easily set the side by yourself. 

These video shows you how to change the side of the Joystick: Deluxe Model, or Standard Model

Yes!  You can use our Caregiver Joystick Mount accessory.

For safety, we do recommend that the caregiver that will be driving the chair gets a substantial amount of practice driving without the rider on the chair first.  Only when the caregiver has demonstrated the capabilities to driving the chair safely on behalf of the rider, should this accessory be used.

Yes!  both the left and right Arm Rests can be raised for easy access side entry/exit.

We created helpful videos showing the process of raising & lowering the arm rests:

See How to Raise & Lower the Arm Rest on the Standard Model

See How to Raise & Lower the Arm Rest on the Deluxe Models

Yes!  the Foot Rest can be swiveled up, and out of the way, to allow the feet closer to the seating area.

We created helpful videos to demonstrate how the foot rest works:

See How to Use the Foot Rest on the Deluxe Models

See How to Use the Foot Rest on the Standard Model

Yes!  The seat is attached with Velcro and can be easily removed.  

We created helpful videos showing the process of removing the seat cushion:

See How to Remove the Seat Cushion on a Standard Model

See How to Remove the Seat Cushion on the Deluxe Models

The seat cover can be removed (it has a zipper) so you can wash the seat cover!

Yes!  Since the seat is attached with Velcro and can be easily removed, you can replace it with a seat that is more to your liking. 

While we do not sell any other variety than replacements of the original cushions, there are third party companies that manufacture custom made seats.  As long as the seat you purchase conforms to the existing size (length, width, and height) of the seating area, you may be able to replace the existing one with one that is more suited for your needs.

As the third party seat cushion is not too thick, it will not impact the fold-ability of the chair.  If you do choose to put an additional cushion on the chair, or use a thicker seat, you may need to remove it for folding.

Yes!  When the electromagnetic locks on the motors in the rear of the chair are disengaged, and the power is turned off, you can push the chair around in a manual mode.  

You can use this mode for a variety of reasons, such as to push the rider in case of a loss of power, or you simply need to re-position the chair for transfer.

We created helpful videos showing how to use it in a manual mode:

See How to Use the Standard Model in Manual Mode

See How to Use the Deluxe Models in Manual Mode

Yes!  You can roll any EZ Lite Cruiser model when it is folded. 

We created helpful videos showing how to roll it when it is folded:

See How to Roll the Standard Model when Folded

See How to Roll the Deluxe Models on the when Folded

All of the Deluxe Models have a Patented 5 Point Recline.  See how to recline the Deluxe Models without a Rider in the Seat, or with a Rider in the Seat

The Standard Model has a slight angle built in to the back support, but it is not adjustable. 

Yes!  The Arm Rests on all of our models raise up to clear the side area for entry to / exit from the side.

We created helpful videos showing the process of Raising the Arm Rests:

See How to Raise the Arm Rests on the Standard Model

See How to Raise the Arm Rests on the Deluxe Models

Yes!  Because the arm rests can be raised, you can gain entry into the seat from the side.  

We created helpful videos showing how to Enter & Exit the seating area from the side:

See How to Enter & Exit the Seating Area from the Side on the Standard Model

See How to Enter & Exit the Seating Area from the Side on the Deluxe Models

The height & position of the Arm Rests is adjustable on Deluxe Models (2017 and newer.)

We created a helpful video showing the process of Adjusting the Height of the Arm Rests:

See How to Adjust the Height of the Arm Rests on the Deluxe Models

Unfortunately, the height & position on the Standard Model is not adjustable. 

We've made helpful videos showing how to install the Basic Seat Belt that is included with each EZ Lite Cruiser Model:

See How to Install the Basic Seat Belt on the Standard Model

See How to Install the Basic Seat Belt on the Deluxe Models 

*** Note: the video above is the Full Setup Video for the Deluxe Models, and you can skip to the near end of the video to see how to attach the Basic Seat Belt.

Yes!  Every model comes with a Joystick that is easy to disconnect.  Here's a video that shows how to quickly disconnect and reconnect the Joystick:

See How to Disconnect and Reconnect the Joystick

*** Please Note: older production models (mid 2016 and prior) may not have this feature, but can be retroactively upgraded to have feature by replacing the wiring.  

Not exactly!  In order to be considered 'waterproof', the electronics need to be tested under controlled laboratory conditions and obtain a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529.  

The EZ Lite Cruiser electronics are rated to IPX4, meaning they are protected against water spilled at them from all directions, however, limited ingress is permitted. 

Prolonged usage in any precipitation will eventually cause water to seep into the electrical system and cause a short circuit.  

If a company is claiming their product is waterproof, you should ask for proof, specifically the IEC 60529 testing report certifying it is waterproof.  If there is no report furnished to back up the claim, in all likelihood, it is not true.  Seeing a device used in rain is essentially indicating it is rated IPX4 and can withstand water spilled at it from all directions. It does not mean it is waterproof.  Some companies use the term "weatherproof", which again, indicates ambiguously that, at best, it is rated IPX4.

So... Is the EZ Lite Cruiser "weatherproof"?  Yes. 

We do also offer two types of protection to help use the EZ Lite Cruiser in any sort of precipitation --  

1.  One is the Joystick Cover accessory.  This accessory will protect the most sensitive and exposed electronic component, the Joystick, while allowing you to see your hand using it.

2.  The other product is a Poncho accessory.  This will protect you the rider, the upholstery (cushions/covers),  the CPU (on-board computer), and the battery compartment from getting soaked.  

Wet and soggy cushions are not fun to sit on. ;) 

Please note, however, even with these protections, and prolonged usage, there is always still a possibility that water can get into the electrical system and cause a short circuit.  Use it in the rain at your own risk. 

Yes, You can use the EZ Lite Cruiser in the rain!

The EZ Lite Cruiser electronics are rated to IPX4, meaning they are protected against water spilled at them from all directions, for a limited time.  

Do note that prolonged usage in any, and especially heavy, precipitation may eventually cause water to seep into the electrical system and cause a short circuit.  

We do offer two types of protection to help use the EZ Lite Cruiser in any sort of precipitation --  

1.  One product is a See Through Cover for the Joystick.  This product will protect the most sensitive and exposed electronic component of the EZ Lite Cruiser.

Click Here to view the See Through Joystick Cover accessory.

2.  The other product is a Poncho, which will protect you the rider, the upholstery (cushions/covers),  the CPU (on-board computer), and the battery/batteries in the undercarriage from getting soaked.

Wet and soggy cushions are not fun to sit on. ;) 

It would not be safe.  The devices are lightweight and due to that fact, they do not have the same level of traction that heavier power chairs and scooters may have.  If you drive on a slippery surface, you may experience loss of traction. 

Absolutely!  The battery level indicator is on the right side of the joystick panel, with the multicolored lights.  You will see either:

3 green, 3 yellow and 1 red light [on 5 button joysticks], or 

2 green, 2 yellow and 1 red light [on 4 button joysticks]

As you use power, each individual LED light will turn off.

Please note the battery level indicator is not a linear scale.

The green section represents 90%+ of the charge, and you should always try to operate the device within this level.

The yellow section means you are at a critical low battery level with less than 10% charge remaining!  The device could lose power at moments notice, especially if there is an increase in speed, bumps or rougher surfaces being driven on, or anything that makes the motors work harder and draw more power from the battery.

We recommend charging the battery frequently to prevent unexpected power loss.

Please refer to the user manual of your exact model for more information.

The recommended operating temperatures for the Battery is:

0 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (-17 degrees to 32 degrees Celsius)

Do Not Store the Battery in Direct Sunlight!  Storing the Battery in the trunk of a car is fine, even on a relatively hot day. 

The recommended operating temperatures for the On-Board Electronics and Motors is:

-49 degrees to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 degrees to 65 degrees Celsius)

The EZ Lite Cruiser is made to safely handle a threshold of 1.25 inches in height.  Anything beyond that, while it may be possible, is not recommended and is not safe.  Please take thresholds of no more than 1.25 inches in height, and take them with care.

If you're experiencing any trouble taking a threshold, ask your self these questions: 

1 - How tall is the threshold?  If it is above 1.25 inches, it is not recommended.  Anything 1.25 inches and less, you simply just need to get the EZ Lite Cruiser up to an  adequate speed to overcome the threshold.  You may not be able to go over taller thresholds from standing.  It is best to get some speed first.

2 - What speed level are you driving it at?  Keep in mind, the lower the speed you're driving at, the less power the rear wheels are getting.  So if you're at a level "1" speed setting, try it at a level "2" or "3".  

3 - Are you getting enough momentum?  In physics, momentum is mass times velocity.  The higher your (weight) mass and the heigher the speed, the more momentum you have.  Obviously, you can not change your mass (easily.)  So change your speed to help gain more momentum to cross over the threshold.  If you're trying to go at it from a stopped position, relatively close to the threshold, you may not have enough momentum and speed to get over it.  Try getting up to a good speed to go over it, and with enough momentum and adequate power going to the rear wheels, you should get over the threshold just fine.

We urge you to be safe when trying to cross thresholds and never drive over any threshold that is greater than 1.25 inches in height, as that will not be safe.  Please always exercise the utmost caution.  This is a serious warning! Thank you & happy driving!

*** Please also note: if you have thresholds in your home that are beyond this height, we recommend making your home as wheelchair accessible as possible.  You can install transition strips, or threshold cover strips.  This will allow you to take thresholds with ease and the safety, as you will not face abrupt bumps when going over the thresholds.  The more bumpy your ride, the more wear you are putting on the front wheel bearings of your EZ Lite Cruiser.  This will wear out the bearings in the front wheels quicker, and require you to replace them more often.  If you make your home more wheelchair accessible, you will enjoy driving your EZ Lite Cruiser more and more.

Sure!  We recommend inclines that are ADA rated (6-8%) and at a maximum a 20% slope for safety.  Use our Incline Ability Chart to determine how much length of a ramp you will need to get up a certain height (rise) at a safe slope.

Sure, we can recommend using a service such as Handy.com which offers on-demand helpers, such as a general handy man, that can assist with unboxing and setup of your EZ Lite Cruiser.

Visit: https://www.handy.com/services/other-handyman-service

Provide your information, as well as some details about the job (a link to our setup video), and they can find a handyman in your area to perform the work, if one is available.

Our products have not been tested to WC-19 or ISO 7176-19 compliance for use unfolded inside of a moving vehicle.

We essentially have two frame styles to choose from: 

Standard Model -- a more compact less feature rich portable power chair.

Deluxe Models -- a range of more adjustable and feature rich portable power chairs.  

The Standard Model is ideal where your primary focus is simply the very compact size and very basic usage.  It is better suited for indoors due to its smaller size.  But it handles outdoor areas that are well paved and smooth, such as those you would find at shopping centers, commercial buildings and well maintained sidewalks.

The Deluxe Models are more ideal when you want added comfort along with more features and options for use in a wider range of activities and outdoor areas.  The Deluxe Models come in 3 widths -- Slim, Regular or Wide, and each of those are available with different sized front & rear wheels -- 8", 10" or 12".  The larger wheels perform better in rougher outdoor paths while the smaller wheels provide the added comfort of the Deluxe frame for more indoor use if that is your intended use.  The 12" wheels are our best sellers, as folks typically use them for more outdoor use.  Plus, there are many adjustments to the foot rest and arm rest that can be made, along with optional features, to make the device very comfortable to use. 

Not sure which model is right for you?  Take a simple 8 question quiz and we'll give you our recommendation.

With health & safety in mind, if there is any doubt, question or hesitancy whether any EZ Lite Cruiser would be right for your particular needs, we recommend you discuss it with your primary care physician.

The EZ Lite Cruiser is a motor driven, indoor and outdoor transportation vehicle.  The intended use is to provide mobility to a disabled or elderly person limited to a seated position.  Our products may not be appropriate for users with certain disabilities, as they are limited in the support they can provide such users.  Before use, we recommend discussing your specific needs with your primary care physician. 

With your purchase of an EZ Lite Cruiser, you will receive everything you need to use the device: 

A Joystick, the Battery (your choice of 10 Ah or 15 Ah size), a Wall Charger to recharge the battery, a Basic Toolkit for help with setup, a Basic Seat Belt, and a User Manual.

We created a helpful video for connecting (plugging in) the battery, and charging it:

Click Here to Watch It

Please note, different chargers may have one or more lights to indicate what is happening -- i.e. whether a battery is charging or charging has stopped, or battery has been disconnected, etc.  

Using the REGULAR Charger:

1 - Plug into outlet, LED will be GREEN.

2 - Plug into joystick I/O port.

3 - LED will turn RED to indicate charging.

4 - LED will turn GREEN when completed.

Using the SPEEDY Charger:

1 - Plug into outlet, LED1 will be RED, indicating it is getting power from wall. LED2 will be GREEN.

2 - Plug into joystick I/O port.

3 - LED2 will turn RED to indicate charging.

4 - LED2 will turn GREEN when completed.

We recommend charging your battery regularly.  It is safe to leave the charger plugged in even after the battery has finished charging.  The battery pack is equipped with a Battery Management System will prevent any overcharging from happening, and will turn off the flow of current to the battery cells once a full charge is indicated. 

You can charge the battery any time, no matter how much charge is remaining in the battery.

The time needed to recharge your battery ultimately depends on your battery size, the charger you are using, and how much charge is still remaining in your battery.

Assuming the battery is EMPTY, you can expect: 

10 Ah Battery

 - With REGULAR Charger (24V 2A) = 5 hours

 - With SPEEDY Charger (24V 5A) = 2 hours

 - With CAR Charger (24V 1A) = 10 hours

15 Ah Battery

 - With REGULAR Charger (24V 2A) = 7.5 hours

 - With SPEEDY Charger (24V 5A) = 3 hours

 - With CAR Charger (24V 1A) = 15 hours

With the basic method of charging, while the battery is connected to the power input of the EZ Lite Cruiser, you can connect the charger (Regular or Speedy) into the "front" of the joystick.  This method is called On-Board Charging.

When charging by this method, please make sure to POWER OFF the EZ Lite Cruiser when charging the battery. 

If you attempt to charge the battery with the power on, it will not charge the battery.  When the chair is powered on, the fault indicator on your joystick will indicate that the charger is plugged in and you will not be able to drive the chair.  It will also not be charging the battery in this state.  You MUST ensure that the joystick is powered off for charging.

As an alternative way to charge the battery, you can also plug the round plug of the charger into the round (XLR) plug on the battery.  This is called Off-Board Charging.  Doing this, you are bypassing the chairs electrical system, and simply connecting the charger right to the battery. 

Yes!  You can use the EZ Lite Cruiser overseas.  We supply the Charger for your EZ Lite Cruiser with a North American style wall socket connector.  The charger on the EZ Lite Cruiser operates between AC 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz.  Most of the world operates within this range.

Click Here for a Guide to Wall Outlet Plugs and Voltages Across the World

Depending on the country you are in, you may need a socket adapter, such as our EZ International Travel Adapter to change the socket plug so they fit properly into the wall outlet of the country you're in.  In certain countries, you may want to use a Surge Protector/Power Strip to prevent a voltage spike outside of the acceptable level for the Charger.

You may already own the Plug Adapter if you use other appliances made for North American wall outlets in other countries.  They come in different shapes and sizes, but accomplish the same goal of changing the wall outlet plug of the Charger.

The current battery packs we are using are: 

Chemistry: Lithium Ion

Capacity: 10 Ah or 15 Ah

Voltage: 24 V DC

Older battery packs may be a Lithium Phosphate or Lithium Polymer.  If you have any questions or are unsure of what your battery is, please Contact Us.

Yes, You can connect two batteries of the SAME capacity together, with the Dual Battery Connector.  For example, you can connect:

Two 10 Ah Batteries together with the Dual Battery Connector

Two 15 Ah Batteries together with the Dual Battery Connector

You CAN NOT connect:

One 10 Ah Battery and a 15 Ah Battery together with the Dual Battery Connector.

Every model can accommodate up to two (2) of either capacity battery, the 10 Ah or 15 Ah size in the battery storage compartment under the seat.  

Capacities can be intermixed, i.e. you can carry one (1) 10 Ah and one (1) 15 Ah.  However, they can not be connected in parallel with the Dual Battery Connector accessory.  The batteries need to be the same capacity to be able to connect together.  If you wish to have one 10 Ah and one 15 Ah capacity battery, you can carry both and manually switch between them as you see fit.

1 - With the Deluxe Models, Remove the anti-tipping wheels and plastic extending tube/sleeve of the kickstand, prior to giving the chair to the baggage handlers (right at the gate) and store them in the zippered pouch under the seat.  With a Standard Model, this does not apply.

2 - Remove the joystick, and, if you have a Deluxe Model, wrap it in bubble wrap and tuck it away between the seat cushion and back support cushion, or take it with you on-board.  If you have a Standard Model, wrap it in bubble wrap and store it in the zippered pouch under the seat, or again, take it with you on-board.

3 - If you have a Deluxe Model, use the bungie cord that came with the chair to secure it tightly together so it doesn't unfold when the baggage handler takes it away.  With a Standard Model, this does not apply.

4 - You may choose to use the Travel Bag if you have it.  Wrap the chair up at the gate in your Travel Bag.  If you do not have one, you can also use some bungee cords or straps around vertically and horizontally to keep the chair together tightly and prevent it from unfolding.

5 - When you retrieve the chair at your destination, have an airline representative there with you as you examine the chair for any damage. If there is any damage, make sure to file a claim right away and tell them anything that is wrong. They will take care of any issues that may arise, replacing parts as needed and hiring a technician to do the work to repair it.  

6 - You will also have to unplug and remove the battery from the chair and take that on board with you in your carry on.

Medicare only covers DME if you get it from a supplier enrolled in Medicare.  Unfortunately, at this time we are not enrolled in Medicare's Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program, and we do not bill any health insurance plans directly. 

If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (commonly referred to as a Supplemental Plan) and you need DME, call your Medicare Advantage Plan’s primary care provider to find out if your plan will provide the DME. If your Medicare Advantage Plan won’t cover a DME item or service that you believe you need, you can appeal your Medicare Advantage Plan’s denial of coverage and get an independent review of your request for coverage. You can also find a description of your Medicare Advantage Plan cost-sharing obligation for all Medicare covered services, including supplemental benefits offered by your Medicare Advantage Plan, in its “Evidence of Coverage” document. 

Call the phone number on your Medicare Advantage Plan card and ask about DME coverage options. They can tell you how to potentially get care under a new Medicare Advantage Plan. 

If you are attempting to get coverage through a supplemental health care plan, please see our FAQ on Reimbursement through a Health Insurance Plan.

You may be able to have your health plan provider reimburse you the cost of purchasing our products.  We do not bill any health insurance plans directly.

If you need DME in your home, your doctor or treating provider (like a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist) must prescribe the type of equipment you need by filling out an order. For some equipment, your insurance plan may also require your doctor to provide additional information documenting your medical need for the equipment.

You should always first check with your specific plan benefits.  Call your health plan provider member services or check using their website or mobile app, if applicable.  We recommend calling to inquire for a definitive answer, and to determine whether a prior authorization is required, and how to best  submit the necessary documentation to your health care plan (i.e. their e-mail address, fax or mailing address for where you'll send your documents.)  

For your reference, to have on hand when communicating with your health plan provider, here are the HCPCS Code for our products: 

EZ Lite Cruiser (any model) - K0012 - "Lightweight portable motorized/power wheelchair"

15 Ah Battery - E2397 - "Pwc acc, lith-based battery"

When you confirm with your healh plan provider that they will reimburse (all or part of) your purchase, and you have your doctors or treating providers documents, you can proceed to make your purchase.  

Once you've made your purchase, Submit a Request to receive a Medical Reimbursement Invoice, which will have the applicable HCPCS codes listed for your purchase. 

Finally, bundle your Invoice along with the treating provider documentation, prior authorization and any other pertinent information, submit them to your health insurance plan via e-mail, fax or postal mail, as instructed by your health insurance plan.
