The VELA Tango 700E with Power Wheels is a specialised indoor activity chair designed to support comfort, stability, seated mobility and independence during everyday tasks.
It offers the benefits of the standard VELA Tango 700E, with the added assistance of powered wheels for users who may find it difficult or tiring to move the chair manually. This makes it well suited to home, workplace, education and rehabilitation settings where users need to move between tasks, surfaces or work areas while seated.
Product Overview
The VELA Tango 700E with Power Wheels is designed to help users stay active and independent throughout the day, particularly when strength, endurance, balance or leg function is reduced.
The powered wheel function can assist with indoor movement when the user becomes tired or needs additional support moving the chair between areas. When required, the Power Wheels can be switched on and controlled using the joystick. When not required, the chair can still be used like a standard VELA activity chair.

Electric Lift & Powered Mobility
The electric lift allows the user to adjust the seat height smoothly, making it easier to work at different surfaces such as desks, benches, tables and workstations.
The Power Wheels provide additional assistance when moving the chair around indoors. This can help users conserve energy, reduce physical effort and remain active for longer periods during the day.
The joystick allows the user to control movement while seated, and the level of powered assistance can be adjusted across different speed settings depending on the user's needs and environment.
Supportive Ergonomic Design
The VELA Tango 700E with Power Wheels can be configured with different seat, backrest and accessory options to suit the user's body, support needs and daily activities.
The chair is designed to provide a stable seated position, helping users complete everyday tasks with greater confidence. Supportive armrests, a secure seating position and a stable chair base can assist with transfers, reaching, working and moving between tasks.
The chair can be configured with Active or Contour seating options depending on the level of comfort, postural support and sitting stability required.
Mobility & Accessibility
The Power Wheels are designed to assist users who may not have the strength, endurance or leg function to manually move the chair around throughout the day.
This can be helpful for people who need to move between rooms, work areas or task zones while seated. The Power Wheels also provide additional directional stability, helping the chair move more smoothly and reducing the effort needed to correct direction while manoeuvring.
The joystick mount can be adjusted and folded down when the user needs to get closer to a table or work surface, making the chair more practical for everyday use.
Who It May Assist
The VELA Tango 700E with Power Wheels may be suitable for people who need additional support due to reduced strength, fatigue, balance concerns, reduced leg function, pain or mobility challenges.
It may assist users who find it difficult to stand for long periods, walk short distances, manually move a chair, or move safely between daily tasks. By combining seated activity, electric height adjustment and powered indoor movement, the chair can help make daily routines more manageable and comfortable.
Common Uses
- Desk work and office tasks
- Moving between workstations or task zones
- Kitchen and household activities
- Education and training environments
- Rehabilitation and therapy settings
- Workplace roles that require movement between surfaces
- Home environments where seated mobility is important
- Daily activities where standing or walking short distances is difficult
Important Use Considerations
The Power Wheels function is designed to assist with moving or "walking" the chair around indoors. It is not intended to replace a powered wheelchair.
For best performance, the chair is most suited to flat, even indoor surfaces where all wheels remain in contact with the floor. Hard surfaces such as timber, vinyl or linoleum are generally preferred. Loose rugs, uneven thresholds and soft flooring may reduce mobility or affect safe use.
