Most folding power chairs ask you to choose between portability and performance. The Golden Buzzaround CarryOn (GP130) doesn't. It's the lightest center wheel drive power chair with the tightest turning radius in its class — a 21" pivot that makes tight restaurant aisles, crowded hotel lobbies, and narrow doorways genuinely manageable. The base folds to just 10" tall, weighs 46 lbs., and the battery pulls out and flies with you as a carry-on. It's a power chair built around the way people actually travel.
When folded, the CarryOn measures just 10" tall — low enough to slide under a table, tuck into a closet corner, or disappear behind a seat without taking over the room. Golden's exclusive PowerLink™ Connectivity handles assembly and disassembly without tools and without frustration. The seat and battery come off independently, so you can split the load however works best for getting it in and out of your vehicle — there's no single awkward heavy piece to wrestle with. How does the folding system work? →
The 21" turning radius isn't a spec to gloss over — it's the thing that makes the CarryOn feel different to ride. Center wheel drive puts the drive wheels at the midpoint of the chair rather than the rear, which produces that tight pivot and gives you the kind of responsive, predictable control that rear-wheel chairs simply can't match in confined spaces. If you've ever clipped a doorframe or had to back up and retry a turn in a tight hallway, you'll notice the difference immediately. What is center wheel drive? →
The suspension is the real differentiator between the CarryOn and most folding power chairs at this price point. Independent 4-wheel suspension with a springless articulating chassis means the chair absorbs terrain rather than transmitting it to you. Hard flooring, pavement, cracks, slight inclines — the CarryOn handles them without the jarring ride you'd expect from a chair this compact and light. More about the suspension →
The CarryOn's 12.5 AH lithium-ion battery is removable and airline-friendly — meaning it comes out of the chair and goes into the overhead bin with you, not into cargo. That's not a small thing if you travel regularly by air, sea, or train. It also delivers up to 12.5 miles of range per charge, which covers most full days of use without needing to hunt for an outlet. Charging is handled offboard, so you can plug in wherever you are without moving the whole chair. Airline travel with the CarryOn →
Standard colors are Velvet Red and Coastal Blue — both a genuine step above the all-black-everything that dominates most power chair lineups. If you want to go further, optional shroud kits are available in Army Green, Canary Yellow, Crisp White, Desert Tan, Orchid Pink, and Stone Grey. The stadium-style seat includes textured soft-touch armrests, and the front and rear light package comes standard. See all color options →
The Buzzaround CarryOn is backed by a 5-year limited warranty on the frame, a 13-month warranty on the drivetrain and electronics, and a 12-month warranty on the battery.

Have more questions? Here are some of the most common ones we hear from our customers about the CarryOn.
The CarryOn uses Golden's exclusive PowerLink™ Connectivity system for tool-free assembly and disassembly. The base folds down to just 10" tall — low enough to store under a table or in a closet — and the seat and battery remove independently, so you can split the weight however works best for loading and unloading.
Center wheel drive places the drive wheels at the midpoint of the chair rather than the rear, which produces a much tighter turning radius — 21" on the CarryOn — and gives more responsive, predictable control in tight spaces. If you've ever had to back up and retry a turn in a narrow hallway, you'll feel the difference immediately.
The CarryOn features independent 4-wheel suspension and a springless articulating chassis — both indoors on hard floors and outdoors on pavement and uneven surfaces, the chair absorbs terrain rather than transmitting it to you. It's a meaningful step above most folding power chairs in its price range.
Yes — the 12.5 AH lithium-ion battery is airline-friendly and removes from the chair so you can carry it on board rather than checking it with cargo. It also delivers up to 12.5 miles of range per charge. Always confirm with your airline before flying, as transport is subject to federal regulations and individual airline policies.
Standard colors are Velvet Red and Coastal Blue. Optional color shroud kits (upcharge applies) are available in Army Green, Canary Yellow, Crisp White, Desert Tan, Orchid Pink, and Stone Grey.
Fully assembled the CarryOn weighs 74 lbs., but the three pieces separate for loading — the base alone is 46 lbs., the seat is 22 lbs., and the battery is 6 lbs. — which makes it manageable for most vehicles without needing to lift the whole thing at once.
Yes — freewheel mode disengages the drive motors so a caregiver or attendant can push the chair manually whenever that's easier.
