The Freedom Chair A08L is a high-performance, premium Folding Electric Powerchair designed to support users weighing up to 160 kgs (25 stone), offering enhanced outdoor capabilities.

Details

The Freedom Chair A08L is a folding electric powerchair built for everyday use on rougher ground. It balances outdoor capability with the convenience of a compact, lightweight frame. It folds quickly for transport and storage while still supporting heavier users and longer journeys when fitted with extra batteries.

Key benefits

  • Greater outdoor independence – large pneumatic wheels and powerful motors help you move confidently across gravel, grass and uneven paving.
  • Easy to transport – it folds into a compact package and is light enough to lift into a boot or home storage.
  • Longer travel options – supports up to three batteries so you can extend your distance between charges.
  • Stable, comfortable ride – spring suspension and anti‑tip wheels help keep journeys steady and reassuring.
  • Simple controls and conveniences – an ergonomic joystick with a USB port and LED light makes everyday use straightforward.

Who is this for?

  • Anyone needing a folding powerchair that copes with uneven outdoor surfaces.
  • People who travel by car and need a compact, lightweight chair for transport and storage.
  • Users who require a higher weight capacity (up to 160 kg / 25 stone).
  • Carers who value easy transfers and a chair with practical safety features.

Detailed product description

The Freedom Chair A08L combines practical portability with strength. Its lightweight folding frame makes it simple to fold away in seconds, creating a compact package that suits car boots and smaller storage spaces. Despite the easy folding, it still supports up to 160 kg (25 stone) so it suits heavier users who need a transportable solution. It weighs 27.9 kg, which helps when lifting the chair into a vehicle or carrying it at home.

This model is built for tougher outdoor use without sacrificing day-to-day practicality. Twin 250W continuous (300W peak) brushless motors work with large 12.5" pneumatic rear wheels to give good traction across gravel, grass and cobblestones, while the 8" solid PU front wheels help with manoeuvrability. The chair reaches a top speed of 4 mph (6.5 kph) and is suitable for short local trips and outdoor mobility.

Battery options let you tailor range to your needs. Each 24V 10Ah lithium‑ion battery gives up to 9 miles (15 km) of range, and the chair can accept up to three batteries for a combined range of up to 27 miles (45 km), depending on terrain and user weight. This modular approach lets you choose longer distances when needed while keeping a lighter setup for everyday use.

Comfort and safety are included in the specification. A spring suspension system smooths uneven surfaces and electromagnetic brakes help bring the chair to a controlled stop. The chair also features anti‑tip wheels for added stability and flip‑up armrests to simplify side transfers. These features combine to make journeys steadier and transfers easier for both users and carers.

Controls and practical touches make the A08L straightforward to live with. The ergonomic joystick controller includes a built-in USB charging port and an LED light on the control panel for better visibility. A durable travel bag is supplied to protect the folded chair during transport, helping to keep it in good condition between uses.

Key features

  • Dual brushless motors for reliable outdoor traction
  • 12.5" pneumatic drive wheels for uneven surfaces
  • Folds quickly into a compact package for transport
  • Supports up to three lithium‑ion batteries for extended range
  • Spring suspension and anti‑tip wheels for a steadier ride
  • Flip‑up armrests to assist with side transfers
