There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing an electric wheelchair. The right choice for your needs is essential.

This powerchair can be easily transported because it is compact and lightweight. This makes it perfect for travel, or even vacations.
The ideal lightweight electric chair comes down to your individual needs and requirements. It is crucial to first consider the length of time you intend to use the wheelchair. If you are planning to use it regularly and for a longer time it's best to choose an electric chair with a greater capacity that can withstand more demanding conditions. Look for a model that has a great turning circle to make it easier to maneuver around obstacles.

Pride iGo Plus
Featuring advanced folding technology The Pride iGo Plus is a compact power chair designed to fit into any space. It also has front suspension, a robust seating system, and underneath seat storage. It weighs just 27Kg when empty and can be easily lifted into a car's boot by someone with sufficient strength.
The iGo Plus boasts much larger wheels than most other folding powerchairs, and pneumatic rear tyres. This makes for an easier ride on rough terrain. Its seat and backrest are also padded, which gives you a significant improvement in comfort over other folding powerchairs.
The iGo Plus is easy to operate using its joystick. It can also navigate through small and narrow spaces. It is a good outdoor performer for the size of a powerchair and can easily handle shopping trips in the city, or firm paths in parks. However, we not recommend taking it off the road since the front suspension is a bit weak and it will struggle on anything other than smooth pavement.
Flip-up footplates make it easier to climb out of the chair. This is a great feature for those who find getting out of their chairs difficult or painful. The chair is equipped with a cup holder to hold drinks when you're on the move, and an adjustable backrest made of mesh that keeps your body cool.
The iGo Plus is powered by an 18 Ah Lithium Battery that can travel up to 9.6 miles. It can be charged on board using the joystick controller or off-board for storage convenience. If you choose to use off-board charging, it's essential that you maintain the batteries properly to avoid voiding their warranty.
