- WWW.ZINGERCHAIR.COM The Zinger is an innovative portable travel mobility chair that challenges the traditional handlebar scooters in every way. Its ultra light folding design provides easy portability with solid performance. At only 41 pounds with its Li-ion battery pack installed, it's easy to take on the plane or load into the car trunk. Gone is the need for a rear scooter lift or a ramp van. It has a range of 8 miles, speeds up to 6 mile per hour, easily climbs 8 degree ramps, and literally turns on a dime. Its two lever control system make the Zinger the only mobility device that can pull right up to a table or desk. An inventive swing away foot plate makes getting in and out as easy as getting up from a kitchen chair. The Zinger is different for all the right reasons.

As I have PLS this chair has been a life saver, as now I have my mobility back. I’ve even added front and rear lights and a horn. Absolutely a fun and convenient way to get around.
Lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
SO GLAD this brilliant machine is finally coming to market. I can't wait to show others its potential.
Love this mesh back, simple, easy setup! Maybe this is the one for me....!
Superb illustration of it's versatility
This is very unique design, but at 41 pounds few could carry it with one hand as shown on video. Also I prefer joystick so I can hold something in my other hand - perhaps if you add a basket, it'd address that.
I have this chair and it's fantastic so easy to drive. Love it means I can go out more now as my disability was holding me back but not anymore :-)
Whats your disability if I may ask?
There is now a joy stick version available called the Joy Rider I can't link to it here but theres a video on here on the dkcitytw channel. I have nothing to do with the companny or the invetor, just happen to be researching these for university and I like the lightweight design of this chair! The price is fair too compared to others I've seen. Unfortunaley the joy rider put on a few pounds (probably made cheaper overseas) now it is 50.6 lb so It's a fair bit heavier...
Sure wish I could afford one. Make toting my chair much easier.
Any Backup/Reverse yet by Zinger or which is "Approved"/covered by Zinger warranty?
I forgot to mention in my previous comment, the squeeze trigger mechanism for controlling speed is a hair trigger. One would think that the length of the trigger's travel would provide a decent range to control speed - not so. A slight pull gets you moving, just a little bit more and its wide open. Not good, and the distributors have been aware of this for some time now. There are 3 forward speeds. One would think that based on the principals of electric energy, it shouldn't matter which speed is selected to go up a steep ramp. Not so for the Zinger. If a ramp is steep enough the fastest speed may need to be selected in order to provide the necessary power to make it up the ramp. I'm no stranger to speed having raced cars in the past. But do to the aforementioned hair trigger I have yet to use the top speed in going up a steep ramp, finding it safer using the 2nd speed and asking someone to give me a bit of a push.
Hello again Robert. Try bracing your index finger against your middle finger to help modulate the speed trigger. The reason you need High for ramps is because Medium and Low range limit the Voltage to the motor. More high-tech devices actually have the capability to sense the speed and add more voltage to climb a hill while not letting speed increase on flat. Maybe we can work that in on future generations.
If the trigger electronics were designed properly, your suggestion wouldn't be necessary. I have mastered using the hair trigger, just have to slowly squeeze to get started. With all the travel distance the trigger has, such slight movement shouldn't be necessary. A poorly designed potentiometer. Full voltage should be available at the end of the trigger's travel, regardless of what speed is selected.
is it true that it stops if the wheels get wet? please help
perfect
I need this for the bus and train
What abt having a seatbelt for safety
what for a person who can't use left arm?
If the video is 4 years old why are we just now hearing about the chair lol
I also have only one working hand don't think it would suit me
5:13 nice
in India ?
I liked everything about this chair except the fact you always need to use two hands to operate.
Yes, that's what stood out a mile to me too! You can't carry anything or even as I do take my own suitcase which is on 4 wheels when I go abroad on my own, wouldn't be able to do that with the zinger, other than that I do actually like it a lot.
They also offer the Zoomer which has the toggle mechanism and arm rests.
Qué wapa
What is the weight capacity... ???
I like everything about this chair except it weight 40 Lbs.
,how do you shop with it?
It stinks that you need both hands to move the chair. It would make getting in and out of doors impossible unless someone opened the door and held it for you...this is not always an option.
+kellie77381 Hi Kelly. Wheelchair users have the same issue - wheelchairs require both hands. But it's really not impossible, you simply use the open door itself to pull yourself through. I will post a video of me demonstrating this trick someday soon. Regards, Joel
I met him he lives in my neighborhood
nice speed BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE WORKING ARM. HOW DO I WORK SUCH POWER CHAIR IF THEY REQUIRE BOTH HANDS TO OPERATED IMPROVE THE CHAIR. TELL THEM TOO TIE ONE HAND BEHIND THEM. NOW Zinger ON YOUR .way
Thanks Cynthia. Youre not the first to make that request. Unfortunately it is the nature of the Zinger control system that two hands are required to operate it. If the day comes for a complete redesign, Ill take your request into consideration. Best regards. Joel
How long to use until the battery drains?
helen11937 yy
How much and how can I buy from london.
hi opo Mary Joie T.Dimaapi ko😃?
I wish i could be afford this i really bad need this mobility chair.
Your choice is ok with me.

I think it needs more big solar photovolyaic wheels, and a solar little roof and back. It gives more autonomy.
That would be great, I agree. I have seen people with solar recumbent (low seat) bicycles, but to be honest I think the area above such a small vehicle is too small to create much energy for the charging. It would make more sense to have solar on the roof of a home, which charges a bank of batteries, which later can charge the battery in your Zinger. Much work is being done all over the world to make such a system effective and affordable.
Hi, thank you JoelQ502, I'm still optimist, i have seen the sun tripe 2015 models. and i think that is very possible. good luck.
I want to use it to go to work every day, for 22 miles. so I want a solar photovoltaic one. a little solar roof and back. which i can fold to. have a nice day.
lol I love it
How much is it?
I guess they assumed everyone has strong, working hands!
They don't, if you go to their website they actually say you need some upper body strength.

No seatbelt?
Hi Denise. They do offer a seatbelt. Just ask the sales person at 800-790-0266.
Is it approved for Medicare funding?
I guess not. I just read this on their website.
"The Zinger Chair is a personal electric vehicle, not considered to be a medical device, and has not been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for review or clearance."
WOW all the information except the price.

Only for smaller people
Thats mean my hand will be busy all the time so I can’t even use my phone or hold my drink.
True but you could use a cup holder and a bluetooth ear piece
How much ? What's the weight of the chair?
Hello Jessica, $2095 w free shipping. 38 pounds without battery, 42 with battery. All info is at www.Zingerchair.com
How much
Do asure paid for it
My concern is I would be specifically purchasing item for a trip or two to Europe. To be told to just get a converter or adapter, or “the hotels have them” is not enough to make me feel rest assured that The electronics or battery won’t be ruined in the process. Why don’t you provide a converter for purchase for charging in Europe? I so want to, but I don’t want to spend this type of money to be SOOL and stuck in a hotel room with an expensive piece of metal to be recycled!
Hi Mary, please visit WWW.ZINGERCHAIR.COM to communicate with sales people.
shop fold and go, i talked to the owner and she is going to europe next week with hers. so chances are pretty good they sell a solution to your problem of pwer converting
People complaining that you need "strong working hands" need to calm down. You're tanking ratings of a great mobility device just because it doesn't work for you? Last time I checked, we weren't all ganging up on walkers just because we can't walk. There are dozens of chairs just like this out there. For god's sake just let people have this.
Quit trying to "shoot the messenger(s)!" (OR, how much/what are you getting from firstStreet/Zinger..?)
can't buy I only have one had- sorry
I wish that I could find a wheelchair that goes up and down the stairs at a good price. If anyone out there nose of a good place where I could go and buy a wheelchair that goes up and down the stairs a good price please reach out to me. Thank you. God bless you all.♿

So when you can do all that, why are you riding one? lol
Will Medicare pay for this if you are disabled and get a note from your physician?
Hi Jay. Sorry to say Medicare does not cover the Zinger.
NO. Not FDA/M'care/M'caid approved.
I've owned a Zinger Chair for awhile now. Excellent for hard flat surface, tricky for going up ramps having sharp turns, near treacherous going down ramps having sharp turns. Would like to see a video on how to control speed and direction on down ramps having sharp turns. Maybe I'm not aware of something. In referencing ramps I mean ramps made for disabled folks like those that can be found in public buildings including new, ADA compliant buildings like libraries, courthouses, etc. Until shown/proven otherwise, I cannot recommend this product.
Hello Robert. When going down a ramp, use gravity to propel you, steer with the brakes. I cant explain why your having trouble going up ramps, be sure to select High so you have the power you will need to drive up it. Email me at info@zinger.com chair if you have more questions. -- Joel
Going down a fairly steep ramp is a bit tricky trying to apply what you refer to as brakes (pulling up on the levers), even when the ramp is straight, lacks turns. Forget about using this technique should there be a right angle turn to negotiate on a downgrade. Prove me wrong by creating a how-to video clip addressing this issue.
How much you buy it?
This is a joke. I am a complete handi- cab person and have a scooter to get me around.If people start buying these scooters and riding them around for transportation when they can walk with out them its going to cause trouble with the public. I get dirty looks and if you go zipping around like your video shows the police will get involved. I dont want to be hassled by anyone,handi-cab people can use them but not general public.
To heavy and to costly sad come on make it lighter and cheaper
