The Motion Photon Folding Electric Wheelchair combines an ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre construction with practical powered performance for everyday use. Weighing just 17 kg including the battery and folding to a compact profile, the Photon makes powered mobility genuinely easier to transport and store.

Key benefits

  • Exceptionally lightweight – weighing a mere 17 kg including the battery for easier lifting and handling.
  • Powerful portability – folds effortlessly to a compact size for car boots and tight storage spaces.
  • Practical range – travels up to 12 miles on a single charge for longer outings and errands.
  • Comfort-focused ride – anti-flex seat system and rear suspension help smooth bumps and vibrations.
  • Attendant-friendly – Bluetooth attendant controller included so a carer can take control when needed.

Who is this for?

  • Active wheelchair users who travel frequently or want a truly portable powered chair.
  • Carers and family members who need a chair that’s easy to lift, load and store.
  • People seeking a compact powerchair that performs both indoors and outdoors.

Product details

Built around a carbon-fibre frame, the Photon is incredibly strong yet remarkably light. The chair weighs a mere 17 kg including the battery and features a compact, quick-fold mechanism that makes loading and storing straightforward. Its modern, compact design keeps everyday travel simple whether you’re lifting it for the car or stowing it at home.

Performance is driven by a 250W motor paired with a 24V 10Ah lithium battery that’s removable and weighs 2 kg for easier handling. That combination delivers a range of up to 12 miles and a top speed of 4 mph, while a very tight 60 cm turning radius keeps manoeuvring simple in shops and around furniture. The Photon supports a generous maximum user weight of 23.5 stone, making it suitable for a wide range of users.

Comfort and control come from an anti-flex seat system that channels bumps into the rear suspension rather than the frame, helping to reduce vibration. Adjustable anti-tip wheels add extra stability and can be adapted for different driving conditions, and a 10 cm ground clearance with a 13° maximum gradient capability gives added versatility outdoors.

Key features

  • Ultra-light carbon-fibre frame for easy lifting
  • Compact quick-fold design for transport and storage
  • Removable 2 kg battery for easier handling
  • 250W motor with up to 12-mile range
  • Anti-flex seat system with rear suspension
  • Bluetooth attendant controller included
  • Compact 60 cm turning radius for tight spaces
  • Adjustable anti-tip wheels for added stability
