It was designed to be narrow. That's the Edge's claim to fame. And at 24 inches it is. Its almost 2 inches narrower than the same companies Q6000 for e.g.. But add a wider seat cushion like 20 inches, which is typical for a (grown!) adult then it becomes as wide as most other hi end powerchairs are at about 25.5 inches.

Added 25th April  --  Its WHEELS are 24 inches wide. When not distorted slightly with the users weight added.  But even with its commendably narrow arm tops (@ about 2,25 inches wide each) it has a 3+ inch wide control pod. See image. So we get 2,25" + 20" cushion + a 3" control pod on the other side. Actual width 25 inches. More when actually measured though!  So at 20 inches or bigger cushion size and you are better off with a chair that uses bigger batteries. Since there's no point in having a chair that's narrower than you are seated.

So at this point Prides own Quantum Q6000 is a better bet, since it also has full sized batteries and better speed & range too because it can have full sized group 24 batteries fitted. So a fat bum needing an 20 inch cushion completely defeats the object of  this chair and its small battery "slimming" process...

To get it down to 24 inches wide they had to use much smaller 22NF batteries. That means less range or less speed no matter what they claim, and importantly less power as the internal resistance of the smaller gel batteries is higher.

And to try to combat this and regain some range the standard control system is just 75 Amps and speed is just 5 mph as standard. (6 is the "high speed" option...)  No 8mph possible. Half way between a slow indoor chair and a faster outdoor one.

Unless you are VERY light the 6mph option will give even more limited range and torque since to make it faster requires taller gearing. Taller gearing eats batteries faster even if you drive slowly. So with such small Gel batteries speed is limited. And you can expect to replace them more often too, due to the higher average depth of discharge that is inevitable. This will likely not be a problem if you are a lightweight and don't go too far..

A 100 amp controller is available, also not a very good idea with these small Gel batteries. Lack of power and voltage drop under load will soon become a problem if it is programmed to "go" when you do!  

Unfortunately a 100 amp controller is the bare minimum that is really needed for a "grown" adult in a 6 mph powerchair. So 6 isn't a good choice for heavier people. If you want this chair then go with the 5mph option.

It has small rear casters sticking out behind which hit everything behind you indoors, including running over peoples feet at a busy bar!  Ask me how I know this!  I am not a fan of mid drive chairs. And they sink in soft ground, snow, etc.

So what's it like? Well like all mid drive chairs it has difficulty with the real outside world because it has to try and balance 4 small casters and a set of hard narrow drive wheels on uneven surfaces.  Well it doesn't work well!  Depending on what you are used to.
