The Zinger redefines personal mobility with its innovative design, portability, and world-class performance, making it ideal for a variety of lifestyles and adventures.
Where can I use the Zinger? +
The Zinger can be used almost anywhere—indoors or outdoors. It handles grass, carpet, dirt, pavement, and many other everyday terrains with ease.
Will it fit through my doorways? +
In most situations, yes. Doorways should be at least 27" wide.
ADA-compliant businesses (restaurants, malls, offices, etc.) must have doorways at least 32" wide, which the Zinger passes through with no problem.
What is the Zinger's weight limit? +
The Zinger Chair supports users up to 275 lbs.
Does it come in a larger size? +
No. The Zinger comes in one standard size.
See the Product Specifications section for exact measurements.
How do I know if I am strong enough to operate the handles? +
Very little force is needed to operate the Zinger on level ground—often just the weight of your arms.
Grass and rough surfaces may require slightly more effort.
I only have one good hand. Is the Zinger right for me? +
The Zinger requires use of both arms and hands.
If you need a one-handed option, the Zoomer Chair is recommended. It offers joystick control that can be installed on either side.
Is the Zinger right for me if I am handicapped or disabled? +
The Zinger is a personal electric vehicle, not a medical wheelchair.
You must be able to get in and out of the chair independently for safe use.
What is included with the Zinger chair? +
Your Zinger arrives fully assembled and includes:
• The Zinger chair • Battery • Charger • Two keys • Hex key for removing armrests
Will Medicare help pay for the Zinger? +
No. The Zinger Chair is not currently covered by Medicare.
What accessories are available? +
Available accessories include:
• Backrest bag • Cup/bottle holder • Cane holder • Spare batteries • Spare tires
Will the Zinger fit under a desk or table? +
Yes. With armrests only 25" high, the Zinger fits under most standard tables (28"–30" high).
ADA-compliant tables must have a clearance of at least 27", so the Zinger fits comfortably.
Can I take it on an airplane? +
Yes. Most airlines treat the Zinger as free baggage.
You may ride it to the gate, remove the battery, fold it, and hand it to the attendant. Bring the battery onboard with you.
Always check your airline’s specific policies regarding battery-powered mobility devices.
Does the Zinger have a reverse mode? +
Yes, the Zinger includes a powered reverse mode.
However, many users find it easiest to back up manually—just like a rolling office chair.
How do I know which speed to use? +
The Zinger starts in low speed by default. Suggested settings:
• Low (0–1 mph): indoor smooth surfaces • Medium (0–3 mph): outdoor walking pace • High (0–6 mph): hills or mowed grass
Can I manually push the Zinger? +
Yes. The Zinger can be easily pushed around when not in use.
Can I remove the armrests? +
Yes. The hex key needed to remove the armrests is included in the box.
Is the footplate adjustable? +
No. The footplate is not adjustable, but the Zinger is designed to fit most body sizes comfortably.
Is the seat or backrest adjustable? +
No. However, many owners add an extra cushion for personalized comfort.
Can the Zinger be used on thick or padded carpet? +
Yes, but users near the 275 lb limit may find low speed struggles on thick carpet.
Switching to speed setting 2 solves the issue.
How long will the battery last on a single charge? +
Up to 8 miles, depending on weight, terrain, and speed.
How long does the battery last before needing replacement? +
Battery lifespan varies, but most customers get several years of use.
How long does it take to charge? +
Charging takes up to 4 hours or less, depending on usage.
How do I know if I need to charge the battery? +
A battery indicator on the control panel displays real-time battery life.
Should I buy a spare battery? +
If you expect to travel more than 5–6 miles per day or want all-day availability, a spare battery is recommended.
Is the battery included in the weight? +
Yes. The total chair weight of 47 lbs includes the 4 lb battery.
Will the charger work in foreign countries? +
Yes. It operates on 110V or 220V.
You’ll just need a simple plug adapter for the outlet type at your destination.
