Detailed product information
The Electron Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchair boasts a lightweight magnesium frame that keeps the carry weight down to 11.7 kg, while the complete unit weighs 16.2 kg. That low carry weight makes lifting and transferring the chair between a car and home far easier, and the chair folds into a compact package so it fits neatly into most car boots or small storage spaces.
For longer journeys, the Electron includes two airline-friendly lithium batteries (2 x 25.2v 10.2ah), giving a range of up to 20 miles on a single charge. Each battery weighs 1.785 kgs, and the combined battery energy is listed as 257.04 Wh. The twin-battery setup is helpful for full days out or short breaks when recharging isn’t convenient.
Driving is straightforward thanks to an intuitive joystick that delivers smooth and responsive control in tight indoor areas and outdoors. An attendant joystick is included as standard, so a carer or companion can take control when needed. The chair reaches a top speed of 4 mph and is powered by two 180 W motors, giving dependable performance for everyday use.
The Electron offers practical dimensions for travel: the main frame measures 895 mm high, 933 mm long and 580 mm wide, folding down to 660 mm high, 300 mm long and 580 mm wide. It has a compact turning radius of 812 mm, ground clearance of 40 mm and copes with slopes up to 12°, making it simple to manoeuvre on pavements, ramps and in shops.
Comfort is considered with a seat width of 405 mm, seat depth of 410 mm and a backrest height of 404 mm. The chair runs on 177 mm front and 203 mm rear wheels, which balance indoor agility with outdoor stability.
The Electron comes in two colours, Blue or Red, and is built for people who prefer to stay active and travel without being slowed down. Its combination of lightweight construction, compact folding and long-range batteries makes it a practical option for everyday travel and holidays.
