Featured Mobility Aid
eFOLDi Navigator
The eFOLDi Navigator delivers freedom in one of the world’s lightest powered wheelchairs, weighing just around 12–14kg depending on the battery. It folds in seconds, making it effortless to lift into a car boot or carry through tight travel spaces. Despite its compact size, it packs a reliable lithium-ion battery offering up to around 8 miles of smooth, dependable range.
The powerful motor and precision joystick give you controlled, confident handling indoors or outdoors. Pneumatic rear wheels and electromagnetic braking ensure a stable, comfortable ride wherever the day takes you.
Ultra-Lightweight: ~12–14kg total weight — incredibly easy to lift, store, and transport.
Battery & Range: Removable lithium battery with up to ~8 miles of travel per charge.
Power & Wheels: Strong motor, pneumatic rear tyres, and electromagnetic brakes.
Manual Wheelchair vs Powerchair: Powered Freedom Awaits
While manual wheelchairs offer lightweight portability and arm-driven control for active indoor use, powerchairs step up the game with motorised propulsion that liberates energy for longer outings or rougher terrains.
Ideal for those with limited upper-body strength or endurance, powerchairs provide joystick precision and speeds up to 6mph, with batteries lasting 10-20 miles for all-day independence. In South Wales’ varied landscapes, this shift means reclaiming adventures that manuals can’t match, all while maintaining foldable options for transport—test both in our Aberdare showroom to feel the difference.
What Makes a Good Powerchair?
A top powerchair is your tireless companion, blending robust performance with intuitive ease to navigate South Wales’ urban buzz or countryside paths without a second thought.
Seek models with reliable 12V batteries for 15+ mile ranges and 300W+ motors for hill-climbing confidence, ensuring they handle up to 25 stone without strain. Comfort reigns supreme with ergonomic seats, adjustable controls, and suspension for bump-free rides—prioritise IP-rated weatherproofing for rainy days, turning every journey into a seamless extension of your active life.
What Design Features to Look Out For?..
When scouting powerchairs, zero in on battery life and range (lithium-ion for 20-mile hauls and quick 4-hour charges) paired with powerful motors (400W+) for tackling gradients up to 10°.
Comfort and safety come via padded, tilting seats with flip-up arms, anti-tip wheels, and electromagnetic brakes for instant stops, while weight capacity (up to 25 stone) and stable frames ensure rock-solid handling. High ground clearance (8cm+) with full suspension absorbs potholes, and large pneumatic tyres grip wet pavements—hybrids add folding frames for car compatibility.
