FAQ'S
1. Do I need to register my AVIVA RX40 with the DVLA?
Yes. Because this is a Class 3 vehicle capable of 8mph (12.8km/h), it must be registered for road use. While you do not need to pay road tax or have a driving licence, you must display a nil-value tax disc (if applicable) and the chair should technically be registered with the DVLA to receive a logbook.
2. What is the typical range on a single charge?
The range depends on the battery size selected (usually 60Ah or 73.5Ah) and the terrain. On average, you can expect:
-
Standard range: Up to 25 miles (40km) under optimal conditions.
-
Factors affecting range: Frequent use of kerb climbers, driving on inclines, or using heavy power seating functions (like lift and tilt) will reduce this distance.
3. Can I use the 8mph speed setting on the pavement?
No. UK law states that you must limit your speed to 4mph when driving on pavements or in pedestrianised areas. The AVIVA RX40 features a speed toggle or “indoor/outdoor” mode on the LiNX control system, allowing you to easily switch between the 4mph pavement limit and the 8mph road limit.
4. How does the CTC Suspension system improve the ride?
The CTC (Control, Traction, Comfort) suspension is a standout feature of the AVIVA range. It isolates the seat from vibrations and shocks by using a linkage system that keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground. This is particularly vital at 8mph, as it ensures better tracking and prevents the “jolting” sensation often felt when hitting small bumps at higher speeds.
5. Is the AVIVA RX40 suitable for transport in a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV)?
Yes, the AVIVA RX40 is crash-tested and fulfils the requirements of ISO 7176-19. It can be used as a seat during transport in a motor vehicle, provided it is secured with an approved four-point tie-down system. Always ensure the headrest is fitted and the lap belt is used during transit.
6. What maintenance is required to keep the chair road-ready?
To keep your powerchair safe for 8mph road use, you should:
-
Tyre Checks: Regularly inspect the pneumatic tyres for wear and ensure they are inflated to the correct PSI for stability.
-
Lighting: Check that the integrated LED headlights and indicators are clean and functioning, as these are a legal requirement for road use.
-
Annual Service: Have an authorised Invacare technician perform a “Health Check” once a year to inspect the motor brushes and battery health.
