Detailed product description
The Photon Lite uses a carbon fibre folding frame to keep weight to a minimum while remaining robust for regular use. It weighs just 16.55 kgs when assembled and the carry weight is 13.9 kgs, making it one of the lightest folding powerchairs available for travel and storage. You can fold it down to fit into tighter spaces and lift it into a car with less effort than many conventional powerchairs.
Seating balances support and breathability with a mesh backrest and an ultra-soft cushion to improve comfort on short outings. The chair uses an anti-flex seat system and rear shock suspension to help absorb bumps through the suspension rather than the carbon frame, helping to keep the seating more comfortable over uneven surfaces.
Controls are straightforward for both users and carers. A digital control joystick gives precise, responsive steering with on-board battery level, speed adjustment and horn functions, while a free Bluetooth attendant controller and quad-lock bracket are supplied for attendant operation when needed. The chair is driven by two brushless motors and powered by a 24V 10Ah lithium battery, providing practical performance for daily use.
Designed with travel in mind, the battery capacity is 240 Wh, which typically allows carriage on aircraft subject to airline approval; always check with your airline before travel. The Photon Lite delivers a typical range of up to 12 miles and a top speed of 4 mph, supporting a maximum user weight of 22 stone (140 kgs). Turning radius, ground clearance and seat dimensions make it suitable for manoeuvring in tighter indoor spaces as well as on short outdoor trips.
