Who it suits
Clients who need powered mobility for community access but travel by car with a partner or support worker who has to lift the chair, and clients who fly. It suits people with good sitting balance and standard seating needs; it is a lightweight travel chair, not a complex rehab base, so clients needing tilt, custom seating or long daily ranges should look at a full size powerchair.
Good to know
- Supplied ready to use, no assembly
- One battery is standard; a second battery doubles the range to 24 km
- 165 mm front castors and 210 mm rear drive wheels
- Two year warranty
