UK Folding Power Chair Range

A wide range of lightweight powerchairs

We stock a broad selection of lightweight folding electric wheelchairs from well known brands like Pride Mobility, Karma and Quickie to name a few. Many of these models are ultra-light with unique features that improve reliability and overall functionality, frequently not found on this type of powerchair, like the extensive use of carbon fibre and high-capacity lithium batteries for sustained usage, while higher-spec options may also add suspension for greater comfort and support. Some models also offer multi terrain capability for varied terrain, and specifications can differ significantly across the range, from the ultra-lightweight Pride Jazzy Carbon at just 14.5kg to the more heavy-duty options such as the Quickie Q50R with a 136kg kg load and the Pride jazzy Max with a 180 kg capacity and 53 cm seat width, while practical extras can include quick-release baskets and other storage solutions for personal items; the Robooter E60 Pro features omni-wheels, and the Roma Athens powerchair is priced from £999.00.

A bespoke service

Lightweight powerchairs, just like heavier types of power chairs, still need to be custom-fitted to each user’s requirements, with the right seat support and comfort features for a secure, comfortable fit. It is critical, even for a non-everyday usage powerchair, to have the most comfortable and suitable powerchair, which is why we take the time to assess and understand each individual user’s needs, including adjustable seating, a reclining backrest, adjustable footrests and armrests where suitable models offer them. Comfortable seating and supportive positioning can also help improve posture during longer journeys. We can also provide a wide range of storage accessories, service packages and expert advice to help you choose the ideal mobility solution that suits your schedule and travel plans. Please contact the team to discuss a purchase, affordable rental options for a short period, week-by-week hire, or longer-term arrangements lasting two to three years, including Motability, where eligible users can exchange their mobility allowance for a new powerchair every three years, often with partner discounts and a Peace of Mind package with no extra costs.
