With six points of contact on the ground at all times, you know this unit is incredibly safe. In fact, it is so stable that the user can stand on the footplate without fear of it tipping over.
6 WHEEL DESIGN WITH NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES:
The mid-wheel drive system on this unit provides outstanding maneuverability in tight and compact spaces, while maintaining a low center of gravity. This helps provide a smooth and stable ride both indoors and outdoors.
The front wheels are equipped with Merits' patented articulation mechanisms, and its two rear wheels provide additional stability, especially on rough terrain. The P326A maintains a noticeably stable center of gravity, reassuring the rider that he or she is always in control of the chair.
POWERFUL DUAL MOTORS & INTELLIGENT BRAKING SYSTEM:
This power chair comes with dual inline motors, which enhance the mid-wheel drive power chair's efficiency, torque, range and performance. They are also equipped with an intelligent braking system, which electromagnetically prevents unwanted rolling while stationary. It also recovers the kinetic energy lost while braking and feeds this power back into the batteries, thereby extending the range of the power chair.
ADJUSTABLE SEAT & ARMRESTS FOR COMFORT:
This power chair comes with a padded captain's chair that is ultra-comfortable and is also adjustable. There are two levers on the right side of the seat. The first allows for easy control of the inclination of the seat back. The second is for the seat rotation, so you can swivel the seat to the side for easy access. Additionally, the seat back can be manually adjusted to varying degrees, reclining up to 135 degrees.
The seat comes with armrests that flip up for easy access. They can also be adjusted horizontally and vertically, conforming to the rider's needs for maximum comfort.

FAQ
How much weight can the Vision Sport support?
The Vision Sport has a weight capacity of 300 lbs, and the chair itself weighs 184 lbs. Its independent suspension also absorbs up to 250 lbs on the footplate without tipping forward.
How far can it travel on a single charge, and how fast does it go?
The Vision Sport travels up to 18 miles per charge and reaches a top speed of 5 mph. It runs on two 35Ah 12V U1 batteries with a 5A off-board charger, and the regenerative brakes feed energy back into the batteries to extend the range.
Is it easy to maneuver indoors?
Yes. The mid-wheel drive platform turns within a 20 in radius, which is one of the tightest you will find, so hallways, doorways and corners are easy. The six points of contact and low center of gravity keep it steady indoors and outdoors.
Can I choose the seat size and does it recline?
Yes. The seat comes in 16 in, 18 in, 20 in or 22 in widths with 16 in to 20 in depth adjustability and an 18 in to 20 in backrest. The semi-reclining backrest reclines up to 135 degrees, the seat swivels and adjusts for height, and the armrests flip up and adjust horizontally and vertically.
Can it get over thresholds and uneven ground?
The front casters use Merits' patented obstacle climb articulation and the chair has full independent suspension with a 6 degree incline rating. Note that ground clearance is 1.75 in, so it is best suited to everyday indoor and outdoor surfaces rather than rough off-road terrain.
