Anti-tilts ensure the stability of the unit and improve the integrated performance with your chair.

 

What if my manual wheelchair has anti tip devices?

We recommend using anti-tip devices that are removable or that flip up out of the way so that they will not interfere with the clamping mechanism of the ZX-1.

 

What if my manual wheelchair has armrests on it?

We recommend replacing the armrests with a “T” Slot style armrest/sideguard that does not require a housing that is bolted onto the backside of the wheelchair frame.

 

What kind of terrain or obstacles can be cleared?

The ZX-1 can go over 2” (5 cm.) curbs/elevation changes. (Dependent on the wheelchair’s front caster size)Avoid driving through water of any depth.

Reasonable water exposure such as light rain is ok.

Compacted sand, gravel, or snow are acceptable on a case by case basis.

The ZX-1 drives well over grass to the capacity of the front caster wheels. The additional use of our ZX-1 off-road tires (sold separately) is recommended for best performance on uneven terrain.

Can I fly on an airplane with the ZX-1?

The ZX-1 is designed to be shipped in the cargo hold of an airplane. Ideally, it is best to ship the ZX-1 with the ZX-1 Travel Case to protect it from damage.

If the ZX-1 is equipped with Lead Gel Mat Batteries there are no actions necessary to ship it with a Domestic U.S Airline.

If the ZX-1 is equipped with Lithium Batteries, the Battery Cables need to be disconnected from the Battery Terminal and the Battery Terminals need to be covered(See Operators Manual).

We advise that our customers check with their designated airline company, because specific requirements may vary by airline and by the country being traveling to/from.
