Detailed product description
The Athens Powerchair uses a sturdy aluminium frame that keeps the chair lightweight without compromising strength. Its total travel weight of 19.2 kg, which includes a removable 1.5 kg battery, makes lifting and storing the chair noticeably easier than many traditional powerchairs. The compact footprint of 920 x 560 x 870 mm helps when loading into a car boot or moving through tight spaces at home.
Seating is arranged to balance comfort and a compact profile. The chair offers a seat height of 480 mm, seat width of 440 mm and seat depth of 400 mm, with an upright feel assisted by a backrest height of 420 mm and arm height of 220 mm. This measured geometry supports everyday use while keeping the overall size small.
Power and efficiency come from the twin 250W motors paired with a 24V power system. The chair reaches a maximum speed of 6 km/h and can travel up to 15 km on a single charge under typical conditions. These figures make it suitable for short trips outdoors as well as confident indoor manoeuvring.
Manoeuvrability is a strong point thanks to a turning radius under 900 mm and a braking distance under 1000 mm, which aid precise steering and stopping in confined areas. The wheel setup uses 165 mm front wheels and 300 mm rear wheels, contributing to a stable ride across pavements and thresholds.
Practical controls and maintenance are supported by a controller output of 35A and a charger output of 2A, while the removable battery makes charging and transport simpler. The chair supports a maximum user weight of 136 kg, combining portability with a reassuring load capacity for a wide range of users.

- Compact footprint for narrow doorways and shops
