About the Roma Rhodes Folding Powerchair

The Rhodes Folding Powerchair is built around a strong, lightweight magnesium frame that balances durability with easy handling. The chair itself weighs 18 kgs and the total weight with battery is 19.9 kgs, so it is noticeably lighter than many powerchairs and easier to lift when moving between home and vehicle. The battery is removable and weighs 1.86 kg, which helps reduce lifting strain when you prefer to carry the battery separately for charging.

When folded, the Rhodes becomes compact at 360 x 605 x 790 mm, allowing tidy storage in a car boot or at home, while the unfolded footprint of 1030 x 605 x 940 mm keeps it stable and manoeuvrable in everyday settings. The seat is designed for comfort with a seat height of 530 mm, a rear seat width of 480 mm and a seat depth of 410 mm, supporting a maximum user weight of 120 kgs.

Performance comes from a 24V / 250W motor paired with a 24V / 12Ah battery, giving a practical range of up to 21 km (13 miles) on a full charge and a top speed of 6 km/h. The Rhodes is easy to steer thanks to its tight turning radius under 1200 mm, and wheels sized 165 mm front and 270 mm rear help maintain stability across pavements and smooth outdoor surfaces.

Everyday control and safety are straightforward: the chair offers a steady drive feel and a short stopping distance of less than 1000 mm. Its compact layout and manageable weight make it a practical choice for users who want independence without complex handling or heavy lifting.

Key features

  • Lightweight magnesium frame for easier handling
  • Removable, light battery to reduce lifting strain
  • Folds to a compact size for car boots and storage
  • Practical range for daily activities
  • Tight turning circle for indoor manoeuvring
  • Stable wheel setup for pavement and smooth outdoor use
