Lightweight folding power wheelchair for the car
If you travel by car with a wheelchair, weight and folding are what matter. We have sorted power wheelchairs up to 30 kg from the lightest – with capacity, range and current price.
How heavy can a wheelchair be for a carer to lift
Most people can lift an item of 20–25 kg into a car boot without much effort. Lightweight folding power wheelchairs therefore weigh around 18 to 30 kg. On many models the battery can be removed separately, so the heaviest part is a few kilograms lighter still.
What to look at besides weight
- Folding – how quickly and how small the wheelchair folds. Compare the folded size with your car boot.
- Battery – lithium batteries are light and allowed on aircraft up to a certain capacity. Check the airline's conditions.
- Range – lightweight chairs tend to have smaller batteries. 10–20 km is enough for outings; look for more for all-day use.
- Weight capacity – lightweight frames often carry 100–120 kg.
You can shortlist a wheelchair by the user's weight and hip width in our wheelchair finder.
