Shoprider 6Runner 14 HD Mid-Wheel-Drive Power Wheelchair

The 6Runner 14 HD (888WNLLHD) is a full-size power wheelchair with mid-wheel drive, an articulating frame and full suspension. Its six-wheel layout is intended to keep the chair supported as the frame moves across everyday surface transitions, while Shoprider lists a 23.5-inch turning radius. The trade-off is size and transport weight: the current listing gives 41 x 25 x 46 inch overall dimensions and 233 lb for the chair with its standard Captain's seat and two batteries. This is not a lightweight travel chair; plan the home route and vehicle-loading method before ordering.

Seat Fit and Transfer Setup

The listing specifies a 21 x 21 inch black-vinyl reclining Captain's seat, adjustable seat height, armrests and a footplate. The four-post seating interface is part of the 6Runner 14's structure. Compare the seat width and depth with the rider's measurements and preferred posture, and check that the armrests, footplate and seat-height range support the planned transfer method. A 450 lb maximum user capacity is a limit, not a substitute for checking seating fit or the chair's complete configuration.

Because this is a reclining seat, positioning matters during operation. Shoprider's manual directs users to keep the seat as upright as possible when driving up an incline and to follow its climbing-angle guidance for the rider's weight. Review that procedure with the actual user and caregiver before relying on the chair on ramps or sloped routes.

Maneuvering, Suspension and Clearance

The mid-wheel drive and 23.5-inch listed turning radius can be useful in tighter indoor spaces, but measure the configured chair against the narrowest doorway, elevator and turn. The 41-inch overall length includes the listed chair configuration, and real clearance can depend on how the footplate and other components are set. The seller lists 2.75 inches of ground clearance. Full suspension and an articulating frame do not mean every curb, threshold or uneven surface is appropriate; check the owner's manual for obstacle and slope limits and approach instructions.

Speed, Range and Batteries

The Shoprider manual lists approximate top speed from 3.1 to 3.8 mph and a range from 16.3 to 17.5 miles. These figures vary with configuration and operating conditions; rider weight, terrain, surface, temperature, battery condition and driving style all affect the distance available. Plan trips with reserve instead of treating the high end as a guaranteed round trip. The chair is listed with two 12 V, 50 Ah batteries. Confirm the required charging setup and follow the manual for charging and battery care.

Transport and Service Planning

At 233 lb with the standard seat and batteries, the 6Runner 14 needs a realistic loading plan. Confirm the complete chair's weight and dimensions against the vehicle lift, platform and vehicle payload limits, including any seating or accessory changes. Do not assume that the chair folds or separates unless the manual for this exact model and configuration says so. The current listing states one year of in-home service, three years on the frame, and one year for electronics, motor, transaxle and brakes; verify service availability and warranty terms with the seller before purchase.

Before Ordering

Confirm the 21 x 21 inch seat, seat-height and footplate setup, turning and doorway clearance, battery requirements and transport method. Review the manual's seating, slope and charging instructions with the rider and anyone who will assist. The listed 450 lb capacity, speed and range describe limits and test figures, not a guarantee that a particular route or seating configuration will suit every user.
