VertaCat’s Exclusive Solution
Electric “Friction Free” Stand-Up Assist
Discover the future of mobility with VertaCat’s exclusive electric stand-up assist system. This innovative system, which includes specially-made padded chest, waist, and knee straps, is designed specifically to eliminate slippage and the associated friction and skin irritation that can occur during raising and lowering.
Revolutionizing Mobility
"Get Grounded" Design
The VertaCat doesn't just assist you in standing up without the hassle of undue jostling or irritating sliding - it goes one step further. Once you are up, VertaCat positions you directly onto the ground. This remarkable feature is particularly beneficial for activities such as golf, truly enhancing your participation and experience.
High-Performance Controls
“Right There” Joystick/Six-Button Fingertip Operation
VertaCat is operated with a high-performance joystick and six buttons (Power, Speed, Seat Up, Seat Down, Lights (head and tail), and Horn), all conveniently located at your fingertips. The controls can be effortlessly switched from the right armrest to the left, no tools needed.
Positioning Technology
"Pivot-In-Place" Micro-Adjustable Precision Positioning
With other machines, if you don’t get precisely into the desired position, you must back out and move in all over again. Thanks to VertaCat’s Pivot-In-Place Positioning Technology, you can instantly and easily maneuver in place to precisely the right position.
Mobility Rider's Safety Measures
Exclusive “Cat Smart'' Safety Features>
Every VertaCat Mobility Rider has a series of Cat Smart features designed to ensure a safe ride. These include:
Specialized Tires
“Golf-Green-Safe” Turf-Friendly, Lightly-Treaded Tires
VertaCat comes equipped with three turf-friendly, lightly-treaded tires that provide the necessary traction to negotiate hills but are extra-wide and soft to ensure they won’t damage the greens on even the nicest golf course.
Powerhouse
Commercial Grade Electric Motors
VertaCat is powered by two commercial-grade, high-torque electric motors that supply more power and torque than you'll ever need; it's built for the long haul.
Mobility Consideration
"Out-of-the-Way" Foldout Armrests
The handy, comfort-enhancing armrests on a VertaCat quickly and easily fold out of the way so as not to hinder one’s area of motion, which is particularly important for the golfer.
Versatile Mobility
Back-of-the-Van/SUV "Fitability"
VertaCat was designed to readily fit in the back of a standard minivan or SUV. This means there is no need for a specialized vehicle to transport VertaCat.
Universal Accessibility
One-Size-Fits-All Design
VertaCat was designed to fit anyone old enough to operate it, from children to large adults, with quick adjustment.
Energy Solution
State-of-the-Art 58v Lithium Phosphate Battery with 5 Amp Smart Charger
Every VertaCat comes standard with a state-of-the-art 58v Lithium Phosphate (LiFePo4) Battery that will easily last for an entire 18 hole round of golf on a hilly course (15-mile approximate range). Included is a 5 amp Smart Charger that will charge in either hot or cold temperatures without damaging the battery and will easily charge the battery overnight. Optional 15A charger upgrade charges battery in 4 hours.
Golf freedom, compact fit!
There are so many things to love about VertaCat like the ability to fine-tune my position, the fact that I can keep up with other golfers in their golf carts, the fact that it doesn’t damage greens, the fact that I can bring swing freely with nothing inhibiting my swing. But what surprised me the most was the fact that it fits easily in the back of a minivan or SUV.
Not just a cart, a life-changer!
Finally, someone built a machine for the physically challenged golfer that isn’t just a glorified golf cart or wheelchair. VertaCat is a well thought out engineering achievement that is going to change a lot of lives.
Rewarding & easy standup activities!
VertaCat makes playing golf, and other standup activities for that matter, much more rewarding and far easier, too. The attention to important detail is amazing. This is one high-performance machine.
