  • Is the VELA Epic Plus Chair an approved medical device?

    Yes, the chair is an FDA-registered medical device.

  • Is the chair delivered fully assembled?

    The VELA Epic Plus Chair comes fully assembled and just needs to be taken out of its wrapping. See the unboxing here.

    Unboxing and Assembling
  • Will the chair fit through a doorway?

    As it’s designed for larger users, the VELA Epic Plus Chair measures up to 35.5 inches wide, which may not fit all doorways. Pushing the chair sideways can help it fit in many standard entrances.

  • 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.

  • Is the chair compatible with different flooring types?

    The VELA Epic Plus Chair is built for hard floors, such as wood, tiles, and linoleum. Thick carpets might make maneuvering more challenging, so we suggest removing loose rugs. It’s usable on wall-to-wall carpets but may require additional effort due to higher friction. Contact us if you have questions about flooring suitability.

  • How often should the chair be charged?

    Charging frequency varies, but charging every night is recommended to avoid running out of power. Consistent charging also extends battery life. Find charging instructions here.

    Charging the chair
  • Can the chair accommodate both right- and left-hand users?

    For users with limited arm mobility, we can customize the chair to have all controls on one side. The VELA Epic Plus Chair’s brake and height adjustment, however, require tools to switch sides.

  • 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.
