It can be useful for elderly individuals, those recovering from surgery or a short term injury, and patients with medical conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. The joystick makes it easy for users to move 360 degrees, while a remote allows it to be controlled by another person, such as a caregiver. The controller also features buttons for a horn, speeding up/ slowing down, and powering the chair on or off. There are lights to indicate the battery life, and which of 5 speed settings is active.

The front and rear tires are made of solid polyurethane and rubber, capable of withstanding multiple types of terrain. It can handle inclines up to 12 degrees, and can reach distances up to 15 miles when fully charged. If you wish to use the Platinum 8000 Folding Electric Wheelchair as a manual wheelchair, then the power must first be turned off. If the power is on then then the wheels will stay locked in place, preventing a caregiver from being able to push it. For optimal caregiver comfort, the Platinum 800 features an easy-to-grip push handle. The padded armrests can be quickly lifted out of the way with the lever found outside each one. These levers can also be locked to keep the armrests from moving.
