The Explorer Lite lightweight folding electric wheelchair weighs just 15 kg, folds to 33 cm deep for the car boot, and covers 12 to 15 km per charge while carrying up to 110 kg.
Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchair That Travels Easily
The Explorer Lite lightweight folding electric wheelchair weighs just 17 kg with the battery fitted, so lifting it into a car boot is genuinely a one-person job. It folds down to 33 cm deep, which means it slides into a boot or a cupboard instead of dominating the hallway. Because the frame is aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, that low weight does not come at the cost of everyday sturdiness.
This portable wheelchair suits errands, appointments and holidays alike. The tight 55 cm turning radius lets you pivot in small kitchens and shop aisles, while the 360-degree joystick keeps steering simple and precise. When you let go of the joystick, an electromagnetic brake holds the chair in place, which matters on a slope or a ramp. In addition, the battery lifts out, so you can carry it indoors and charge it without parking the chair beside the plug.
A Travel Wheelchair Built for Everyday Freedom
Twin 190 W brushed motors move this folding wheelchair at up to 8 km/h and pull it up gradients of as much as 13 degrees. Because the 7-inch front and 9-inch rear honeycomb tyres never puncture, there is no pump to pack and no tube to repair after a kerb.
A 24 V 6 Ah lithium battery covers 12 to 15 km on a charge and refills in five to seven hours overnight. The seat measures a compact 40 cm across and the armrests and footrests adjust to suit you. Overall, this portable wheelchair trades bulk for real freedom and still carries up to 110 kg.
