So let’s take a closer look a this lightweight folding electric wheelchair…

The important weight – very lightweight…

The total weight is 14.5kg without the batteries which is about the same weight as a hand luggage suitcase that you can take on an aeroplane.

Folding compact with a carry strap built in…

The unique design makes folding it really easy, it’s a ‘one action’ type of fold which you can do in one move as apposed to several different bits to fold up.

Once folded it’s even easier to lift and move and with the Q50 R Carbon’s built in transport strap, the wheelchair is kept tightly folded, preventing any troublesome lifting problems.

You can even charge the electric wheelchair when it’s folded making it even more convenient to keep near a plug and you don’t need to remove the batteries.

Light, but still has a very long battery range…

Enjoy a range of up to 12 km / 7.5 miles with the Q50 R Carbon’s 10Ah lithium-Ion battery. If you’re looking to go further, its additional battery slot allows you to bring an (optional) second battery along for the ride too, doubling your range to up to 24 km – that’s 15 miles on a single charge!

The batteries are lightweight and they just slot into the bottom section of the wheelchair. It is very impressive that the lightest electric wheelchair still have the power and range that this model does.

The lightest electric wheelchair is perfect for travel…

The Q50 R Carbon’s Lithium-Ion battery is approved for airline travel so you can take your electric wheelchair on holiday with you no problem.

The Q50 R Carbon is ‘IATA approved’ which is a seal of approval recognized worldwide. It’s best to check and confirm in advance with your airline as apposed to just turning up on the day of travel as sometimes they do require a little more details, but rest assured the batteries are within the type required so you’ll have no issues.

No issues indoors, the turning circle is only 800mm…

This is an important one – you want the wheelchair to be compact and turn easily in a circle. 800mm is 31 inch / 2.6 feet which is very compact for an electric wheelchair. If you think a standard door width in the UK is 76cm then it’s only 4cm (just under 2 inch) more than this.

So if you plan to use your new light electric wheelchair indoors, maybe at home or in shops, pubs and cafe’s then it’s perfect. You’ll be able to navigate around and turn without needing everyone to move!
