Golden GC440 Companion 4-Wheel Bariatric Mobility Scooter with MicroTurn™

The Golden Companion GC440 is a heavy-duty, four-wheel mobility scooter designed for comfortable indoor and outdoor travel on appropriate surfaces.

The GC440 supports users weighing up to 400 lbs.

The scooter reaches speeds of up to 5 mph.

Depending on the battery configuration, the GC440 has a manufacturer-estimated range of approximately 18.7 to 28.3 miles per charge.

The standard U1 batteries provide an estimated range of approximately 18.7 miles under favorable operating conditions.

An optional battery configuration with up to 50Ah capacity can increase the estimated range to approximately 28.3 miles.

User weight, terrain, inclines, temperature, battery age, tire condition, speed, and frequent starting and stopping can reduce range.

MicroTurn Technology helps the four-wheel scooter achieve a tighter turning radius while maintaining the stability of a four-wheel platform.

The turning radius is approximately 45.5 inches.
