Frequently Asked Questions

What is front-wheel drive and how does it affect maneuverability?
In a front-wheel drive power chair, the drive wheels are positioned at the front of the base rather than the rear or center. This configuration places the turning pivot point near the front of the chair, which allows the rear of the chair to swing outward in a tighter arc during turns — resulting in a smaller turning radius. The Alante Sport’s 28" turning radius is well-suited for navigating tight indoor spaces such as hallways, doorways, and small bathrooms. Front-wheel drive chairs also tend to perform well on outdoor terrain and inclines because the drive wheels lead the chair over obstacles rather than pulling from behind.

What does “lowest center of gravity in its class” mean for the user?
A lower center of gravity means the chair’s weight is distributed closer to the ground, which increases lateral stability and reduces the risk of tipping during turns, on inclines, or on uneven surfaces. For power wheelchair users, this translates to a more confident, stable ride — particularly when navigating ramps, curb cuts, or outdoor terrain. The Alante Sport’s low center of gravity is a key safety and performance differentiator compared to higher-profile power chairs in the same class.

What does off-board charging mean for the batteries?
Off-board charging means the batteries are charged while remaining installed in the chair using an external charger that plugs into a charging port on the chair — you do not need to remove the batteries to charge them. The auto shut-off charger system automatically stops charging when the batteries reach full capacity, preventing overcharging. Charge the batteries overnight or after each use to maintain the full 15-mile operating range. Use only the manufacturer-approved charger to avoid damaging the battery cells or voiding the warranty.

Is this power chair covered by Medicare or insurance?
Power wheelchairs may be covered under Medicare Part B as durable medical equipment (DME) when prescribed by a physician and when specific medical necessity criteria are met. Coverage depends on the patient’s diagnosis, functional limitations, and the results of a face-to-face examination and mobility evaluation. This chair is sold through our store as a retail purchase — we do not process Medicare or insurance claims directly. Consult your physician and a Medicare-enrolled DME supplier if you are pursuing insurance coverage for a power wheelchair.
