The ability to elevate a wheelchair seat can be a very useful feature for enhancing independence. It can give a wheelchair user the ability to get at those just out of reach items and facilitate eye level contact with others.

The Mobilife PMV X22 raises vertical elevation to new heights with an industry record breaking seat elevation range of 22 inches. Top this out with the very respectable 9.7 mph seat down speed and you’re good to go.

• 25 degree seat back tilt angle
• Right or left configurable charging ports
• Dual cell phone charging ports
• 275 lbs weight capacity with a rehab frame

My take on this-
The 22 inches of height elevation should go a long way in overcoming the vertical challenges faced by wheelchair users and also challenges the established 8 inch industry standard. For many users, the extra inches convert to increased independence.

The 9.7mph top end is certainly more of a real world speed than that which is found in most chairs with elevating seating systems. This should serve nicely in getting someone around the community without having to pack a sleeping bag or an extra meal for the trip.

The small but useful cell phone hook-up feature is a nice addition. Allowing wheelchair users onboard interfacing of daily use gadgets and technologies is always a good move.
