Pride Mobility Jazzy Passport

Pride Jazzy Passport Folding Travel Power Chair

The Pride Jazzy® Passport is a compact folding power chair designed for people who want powered mobility without the bulk of a conventional full-size chair. It folds as one main unit for transport and storage, making it particularly useful for vehicle trips, appointments, shopping, holidays and indoor environments where a smaller footprint matters.

The Passport supports a maximum user weight of 113 kg, has a 61.5 cm turning radius and travels at up to 5.7 km/h. Pride’s current specification lists a 24.4 kg heaviest piece with the integrated sling seat and battery removed, so it is comparatively transportable for a powered chair but still requires careful consideration of who will lift it and how it will be loaded into the vehicle.

Its standard lithium battery provides a manufacturer-stated range of up to 15.4 km per charge under test conditions. The standard 18.2 Ah battery is not intended for airline carriage under Pride’s current guidance; an optional 10.4 Ah travel battery is available for air-travel applications, with final acceptance always subject to the airline and applicable aviation rules.

Who Is the Jazzy Passport Best Suited To?

The Passport is a strong choice for a user who needs powered mobility on indoor floors and smooth, firm outdoor surfaces and places a high priority on folding, storage and vehicle transport. Its compact dimensions of approximately 101.6 cm long x 59.6 cm wide help with manoeuvring through everyday indoor spaces, while under-seat mesh storage, a cup holder and back-seat pocket make it practical for community outings.

It is less suited to someone whose main requirement is rough-ground performance, deep gravel, grass, steep terrain, extensive suspension or highly configurable clinical seating. The Passport has limited suspension and 12-inch pneumatic drive wheels, so customers who expect regular uneven outdoor use may be better served by a larger power chair designed around ride comfort and terrain capability.

Think About Lifting and Vehicle Loading Before You Buy

Folding does not automatically mean lightweight. At around 24.4 kg for the heaviest main piece, many users will still need another person, a suitable lifting technique or a vehicle-loading aid. Before purchasing, measure the intended boot or cargo area and consider the height of the loading lip as well as the chair’s folded size and weight.

If the chair will be transported frequently, it is worth trialling the complete loading routine rather than judging portability only from the folding mechanism. A chair that fits the vehicle but is too difficult to lift safely will not be a practical travel solution.

Travel, Surfaces and Everyday Use

The Jazzy Passport is at its best on the surfaces a travel power chair is designed around: indoor flooring, shopping centres, paved paths and other reasonably smooth, firm routes. The pneumatic rear tyres can improve ride feel, but they also need normal tyre-pressure and condition checks.

Range figures are a maximum rather than a guaranteed daily distance. User weight, gradients, temperature, tyre pressure, battery condition, stopping and starting, and surface resistance all affect how far a power chair travels on a charge. Build in a sensible reserve rather than planning trips around the maximum quoted range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the Jazzy Passport?

Its main advantage is combining powered mobility with a folding design that is easier to store and transport than a conventional full-size power chair.

How much does the Jazzy Passport weigh for lifting?

Pride’s current specification lists the heaviest piece at approximately 24.4 kg. That is still a substantial lift, so consider the person doing the lifting, the vehicle loading height and whether a loading aid will be needed.

Does the Passport dismantle into several light pieces?

No. Its portability comes primarily from folding into a compact main unit rather than separating into several very light components.

What is the maximum user weight?

The maximum user weight is 113 kg.

How far can it travel on one charge?

Pride currently states up to 15.4 km per charge. Real-world range varies with user weight, terrain, battery condition, temperature, tyre pressure and driving conditions.

What is the maximum speed?

The maximum speed is up to 5.7 km/h.

How manoeuvrable is it indoors?

The Passport has a turning radius of approximately 61.5 cm and an overall width of about 59.6 cm, making it well suited to many indoor and community environments. Always check the actual doorway and circulation space where it will be used.

What surfaces is the Jazzy Passport best suited to?

It is best suited to indoor floors and smooth, firm outdoor surfaces such as paved paths. It is not designed as a rough-terrain power chair.

Does it have suspension?

It has limited suspension. If ride comfort over uneven outdoor ground is a major priority, compare it with a larger chair that has more substantial suspension.

What type of tyres does it use?

It uses 12-inch pneumatic drive wheels and 8-inch solid front castors. Pneumatic tyres should be checked for correct pressure and condition as part of routine use.

What size is the seat?

The standard integrated seat is approximately 43 cm wide x 43 cm deep. Seating fit should be checked for the individual user rather than relying only on the maximum weight rating.

What storage is included?

The Passport includes an under-seat mesh bag, a mesh cup holder and a back-seat pocket for small personal items.

What battery comes standard?

Pride’s current Australian specification lists one 18.2 Ah, 24 V lithium-ion battery with an off-board 2A lithium charger.

Can the standard battery be taken on an aircraft?

Pride’s current guidance states that the standard 18.2 Ah battery does not meet its airline-travel requirements. The optional 10.4 Ah battery is the travel-oriented option, but carriage remains subject to the airline and applicable aviation rules.

Should I check with the airline before travelling?

Yes. Always provide the airline with the chair and battery information before booking or travelling and obtain confirmation of its current requirements.

How do I know whether it will fit in my vehicle?

Measure the available boot or cargo dimensions and loading opening, then consider both folded size and the approximately 24.4 kg main-piece weight. A practical loading trial is ideal where possible.

When might a larger power chair be a better choice?

A larger chair may be better if the priority is substantial suspension, frequent uneven outdoor terrain, longer-range use, higher weight capacity or more configurable seating rather than compact transport.

Is this power chair available for delivery across New Zealand?

We can and do deliver to customers across New Zealand — however, mobility scooters and power chairs are more complex products and can be sizeable, so we generally recommend finding a local retailer who can provide hands-on service and ongoing support. It is also a good idea to trial a power chair before committing to a purchase. MoveSmart focuses its sales and servicing within the Central Plateau region, but we are always happy to chat. Get in touch and we can offer advice, suggest a trusted dealer closer to you, or work with you to tailor a solution.
