  • Is the VELA Epic Chair an approved medical device?

    The VELA Epic Chair arrives fully assembled and only needs to be removed from its packaging. Check out the unboxing video here.

    Unboxing and Assembling
  • Does the chair fit through standard doorways?

    Being wider for larger users, the VELA Epic Chair measures up to 31 inches, so it might not fit all doorways. By maneuvering the chair sideways, however, it should fit most standard entryways.

  • Are there different models and weight ranges available?

    Yes, we offer five models with different weight ranges: VELA Independence Chair, VELA Independence Chair with Power Wheels and VELA Apex Chair that fit up to 300lbs. We also have the VELA Epic Chair (300lbs-385lbs), and the VELA Epic Plus Chair (up to 660lbs). You can compare them here.

  • Can the chair be used on different flooring surfaces?

    The VELA Epic Chair is suitable for hard surfaces such as wood, tiles, and linoleum. Thick or loose carpets may impede movement, so we suggest removing any loose rugs. Flat carpets are manageable but may require extra effort due to increased friction. We’re available for guidance if needed.

  • How frequently should I charge the chair?

    We recommend charging the chair nightly to ensure constant availability and to prolong battery life. See our charging instructions here.

    Charging the chair
  • Is the chair adaptable for both right- and left-handed users?

    If you’re limited to using one hand, we can adjust the chair to place all controls on one side. The brake and height adjustment on the VELA Epic Chair, however, cannot be moved between sides without tools.

  • Are VELA Chairs covered by medical insurance?

    VELA Chairs aren’t covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Coverage through private insurance varies by policy.

  • Do you work with the Veterans Administration?

    Yes, we work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Contact us for assistance with the application process.
