The Best Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchairs in the UK

There are a myriad of aspects to consider when choosing an electric wheelchair. Choosing the right one for your needs is essential.

Lightweight folding models are great to carry in the trunk of your car or going on vacation on airplanes or cruise ships. They come with attendant control options as well as a variety of seating systems.

MobilityPlus+ Ultra-Light Instant Folding Electric Wheelchair

This is a powerful wheelchair that has been designed to assist users in maintaining their independence without difficulty. It features a comfortable seat with a top suspension and is equipped with intelligent electromagnetic brakes. It also comes with a armrest that flips up, allowing users to easily move into and out of the chair. The powerchair can be easily moved around since it is lightweight and compact. This makes it perfect for travelling, or even vacations.

Selecting the most electric wheelchair that folds easily comes down to individual needs and requirements. It is important to first think about how long you will be using the wheelchair. If you plan to use it regularly and for longer periods of time, it is best to opt for a higher capacity battery which can withstand tougher environments. Also, look for a model with the ability to turn with a radius that makes it easier to manoeuvre around obstacles.

QUICKIE offers a variety of electric wheelchairs suitable for everyday use. They are available with front, mid and rear wheel drive with a variety of seating systems. The control systems can be adapted to meet your needs. All of them have advanced features, such as SpiderTracTM suspension to help you navigate kerbs, rocky terrain, and other obstacles. They all come with docking stations so that you can access your mobile devices while in your wheelchair.

Pride iGo Plus

The Pride iGo Plus features advanced folding technology and is designed to fit in any small space. It also comes with an adjustable front suspension system and a robust seat system, and under-seat storage. It weighs just 27Kg when empty and can be easily lifted into a car's boot by someone with a good level of strength.

The iGo Plus has larger wheels and pneumatic rear tyres than many other folding wheelchairs. This provides a more comfortable ride on rough terrain. Its backrest and seat are also padded, which gives you a significant improvement in comfort compared to other folding powerchairs.

The iGo Plus is easy to operate using its joystick. It can also navigate through doorways and small spaces. It is a good outdoor performer for the size of a powerchair and can easily handle shopping trips around town or a path that is firm in parks. However, we not recommend taking it off the road as the front suspension is limited and it's prone to slipping on anything other than a flat pavement.

One of the most useful features is the flip-up footplate, which makes it easier to stand up out of the chair when required. This is a great feature for those who have difficulty getting up from their chairs. The chair is equipped with a cup holder that can hold drinks while on the go and an adjustable backrest made of mesh that keeps you cool.

The iGo Plus is powered by a 18 Ah Lithium Battery, which can travel up to 9.6 miles. This battery can be charged on-board via the joystick controller or off-board for easy and simple storage. If you choose to charge the battery off-board, it is important to maintain it properly in order to keep your warranty intact.
