IV GEttInG stARtEd
The Everest Lite is designed to provide the highest degree of independence and mobility.
It offers superior maneuverability and exceptionally tight turning capability. The theoret-
ical range of the Everest Lite is approximately 8-10 miles (12-16 km) with a 165 pound (75
kg) user, at an ambient temperature of 48° F, on a hard level surface with fully charged
12V 12AH sealed batteries, at 3.5 mph. Actual range will vary according to your weight,
the amount of start/stop driving, ambient temperature, and the terrain on which you
travel with your wheelchair. As you become acquainted with your power wheelchair, its
range and performance capabilities will become apparent. The Everest Lite is illustrated
below. Main features are identified.
