Product details
This Motion Photon Folding Electric Wheelchair boasts a high-quality carbon fibre frame, making it exceptionally lightweight without compromising durability. Weighing just 17 kgs without the battery, while the battery itself weighs 2 kgs this Folding Electric Wheelchair is easy to lift for storage and transportation. Further enhancing portability, the chair folds down quickly to a compact size.
The Photon balances portability with practical features for everyday use. It includes soft front suspension to smooth rough surfaces, flip-up armrests for easier transfers and under-seat storage for small essentials. An anti-flex seat system helps maintain posture and adjustable anti-tip wheels add a degree of stability when on slopes or uneven ground.
Performance matches its practical design: the Photon travels up to 4 mph (6 kph) and can cover as much as 12 miles (19.3 km) on a single charge from its 24V 12Ah lithium battery. A 250W brushless motor provides the drive, while a turning radius of 600 mm and 220 mm wheels keep manoeuvring simple in tight spaces. Ground clearance of 100 mm and a maximum gradient capability of 13° help when moving between kerbs and gentle inclines.
The Photon presents a modern, streamlined look available in black or silver and suits users who appreciate both form and function. With a compact width and carefully considered features, it performs well indoors and out, whether navigating pavements, shopping centres or country paths.
