Re: Is there a way to increase the speed on this chair
Yes. Change the potentiometer behind the throttle lever. It's probably 10 ohms. Try a lower resistance pot. It will run the battery down quicker though.

Probably not. You need a programmer (a PP1) that will allow you to increase the factory speed. But it's probably set at 100% already. Other than setting the speed on the joystick to full and changing the programmed speed will you be able to get the chair 's speed increased.

You will need to contact a service tech in your area to do this. They should have a special programmer box that can adjust the settings on the chair to improve the chairs performance.
Has this chair got power raiser for seat? if so check it is fully down or check down micro switch. These will not go fast with the seat raised. A safety option built in.
I take it you are talking about increasing the maximum speed beyond the maximum the chair is set for now! the max listed speed for the jet 3 is 4mps, so if your chair is doing that there is only changing a load of hardware to increase speed past that (it is very costly) if your chair is second hand it may be that the chairs programming has been changed to reduce the max speed say for in-door use or for elderly with slow reactions to better control the chair, if that is the case it depends on the controller you have it would need a programmer box, you can buy these on ebay and the like or you could take it to a mobility shop and see if they will change it, a lot of these shops will offer to do it free to try and get your future custom, it only takes a couple of mins, most will just plug in to the charge / data port on the controller, select from the menu and adjust the speed etc. hope that helps.
jrw if you are asking to increase the programmed speed of the chair then you need a programmer (a PP1) that will allow uo to increase the factory speed. But it's probably set at 100% already. Other than setting the speed on the joystick to full and changing the programmed speed will you be able to get the chair 's speed increased Hope this helps you
How long have you noticed the decrease in speed? Are you charging the batteries regularly? Have you checked your air pressure in your drive tires? If the batteries are getting old or the power chair has been stored for a while, the batteries may not be taking a full charge. If your speed indicator is showing full like always but the power chair is not responding like it used to, it may be a battery issue. As you operate the power chair, listen for noise and pay attention to see if there is any vibration, this may indicate a mechanical problem that is causing power drain. If not, your power chair may still be within normal parameters, just not "new out of the box" anymore. Make sure that you decrease your speed when going up inclines to avoid excess wear on the motors. Good luck!
Your batteries are bad or not charged up is it only 1 red light flashing or is it all power lights flashing 1 red means not enough charge. all means internal problem with joy stick
