Is the Pride Jazzy Ultra Light worth buying?
The Jazzy Ultra Light sits between the Carbon and the Carbon 27: 33 lb without a battery, an 18 in seat (an inch wider than both) and a joystick that goes on either armrest. Its real advantage is the battery choice: a 10 Ah pack to fly with, or a 20 Ah pack for long days. Its weakness is information. Pride does not publish the folded size, and the standard battery gives about 8 miles. It cost $3,024 on November 13, 2026.
Buy it if
- A 17 in seat is too narrow for you, and you still want a light carbon chair
- You want to choose between a small battery for flights and a big one for long days
- You drive with your left hand, or a caregiver sometimes steers
Skip it if
- You need the folded size to the inch before buying: Pride doesn't give it
- Price comes first: the Jazzy Carbon costs about $430 less
How much is the Pride Jazzy Ultra Light, and where do you buy it?
| Seller | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Wheelchairs USA our link | $3,024 | With the standard 10 Ah battery |
| Pride (list price) | $4,234 | MSRP; Pride sells through dealers only |
Close to it in kind, the Fold & Go MagSHOCK costs $3,295 and scores 8.6/10. Prices move: the seller's page is the one that counts. See our electric wheelchair price guide.
How heavy is the Jazzy Ultra Light?
Thirty-three pounds without a battery, 38 lb with the 10 Ah pack and 40 lb with the 20 Ah one, per Pride. So you lift 33 lb, six less than the Jazzy Carbon and five more than the Carbon 27. Pride says the frame folds and locks shut, but gives no folded dimensions, which is why this chair sits last in our folding electric wheelchair ranking. Unfolded it is 40.9 in long: ask the seller to measure it folded.
Will it fit you: capacity and seat?
The rating is 300 lb, and the seat is 18 × 18 in with mesh on the seat and back and a removable cushion. Above 18 in, the next step in the Jazzy travel range is the 20 in Carbon HD.

How far does it go on a charge?
Here you need to read closely. Electric Wheelchairs USA states up to 8 miles on the standard 10 Ah battery (252 Wh). Pride quotes up to 16.4 miles with the optional 20 Ah pack, measured with a 200 lb rider. Top speed is 3.7 mph. If you plan long days, price the 20 Ah battery before you order; if you fly, note that Pride calls only the 10 Ah pack airline compliant.
Does it turn in a hallway, and what about outdoors?
The turning radius is 33.2 in, wider than the Jazzy Carbon's 24 in: you will make a three-point turn in a narrow hall. Outdoors it does a little better than its siblings, with 10.7 in flat-free drive wheels, 8 in casters on suspension forks and 2.17 in of clearance. Rear lights come on when the chair moves.
Is it comfortable, and who can drive it?
The joystick is programmable and attaches to either armrest, so left-handed driving needs no extra part. Pride lists an optional attendant bracket that lets a helper steer from behind. The warranty is 5 years on the frame and 13 months on the drive train, electronics and battery.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Warranty. Frame: 5-year limited; drive train, electronics and battery: 13 months (Pride).
Returns. Electric Wheelchairs USA charges a 25% restocking fee on every return and you pay the return shipping; its refund policy gives no number of days, so ask before you order.
A warranty covers parts: ask who pays labor and shipping, and where the nearest repair shop is. Keep the order email as proof of the purchase date.
What do owners say about the Pride Jazzy Ultra Light?
A buyer on Electric Wheelchairs USA's page writes: "I've been using it every day since I got it", and calls it easy to use. That page shows about ten reviews, selected by the seller. Daily use is worth noting on a chair this light, but one comment is not a durability record: the 13-month warranty on electronics is the fact to plan around.
Can you fly with the Pride Jazzy Ultra Light?
Pride: "Powered by an airline compliant lithium battery (10Ah only)", then "Transport of this item on commercial aircraft is subject to federal regulations and airline policy. Please consult your airline prior to your flight."
The rule is the FAA's, not a brand's: a lithium battery removed from a mobility device is limited to 300 Wh and travels in the cabin, terminals protected (FAA PackSafe). This chair's standard battery is 252 Wh. Call your airline 48 hours ahead: flying with an electric wheelchair.
What's in the box?
- Jazzy Ultra Light, folded
- 10 Ah lithium battery (20 Ah optional)
- Off-board charger
- Joystick
- Cushion and mesh cup holder
How do you set it up?
It ships folded. Unfold until the frame locks, mount the joystick on the side you prefer, slide the battery in and charge it fully. Then fold it once more and measure it yourself: you will know exactly what your trunk has to take.
What does it really cost?
The price shown includes the 10 Ah battery. The 20 Ah pack, the attendant bracket and a travel bag are extras: ask for each price in writing. A return at Electric Wheelchairs USA costs 25% of the price plus shipping.
Per pound of rated capacity, that is $10.08. Thinking of Medicare? A chair bought online at a cash price is not supplied through Medicare: our Medicare guide explains the official route.
What do we like, and what should you know?
- 33 lb carbon frame, 18 in mesh seat
- Two battery sizes: 10 Ah to fly, 20 Ah for long days
- Joystick on either side, rear lights when moving
The catch: Pride does not publish the folded size, and only the 10 Ah battery is the one it calls airline compliant.
