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.
