Detailed description
The Motion Photon Lite is a folding electric wheelchair built around a carbon fibre frame to keep weight down and improve portability. The manufacturer describes the chair as ultra-light and travel friendly. Two weight figures are given: a carry weight of 13.9 kg and a stated wheelchair weight of 16.55 kg (36.5 lb). Please check with the supplier which figure applies when lifting or meeting airline requirements.
The chair folds to a compact size for lifting and storage. The lightweight design aims to make it simpler to move the chair between home, car and other transport. The quad-lock bracket is supplied to help secure the chair when stored or transported. For exact folding steps and securing methods follow the manufacturer user manual or supplier guidance.
Seating is designed for comfort on journeys. The Photon Lite features a breathable mesh backrest and an ultra-soft cushion. An anti-flex seat system and rear shock suspension help absorb bumps by taking impact through the suspension rather than the carbon frame.
Controls are clear and straightforward. The digital joystick provides responsive steering, shows battery levels and allows speed adjustment. A horn is included on the joystick. A Bluetooth attendant controller is supplied as standard, allowing an attendant to control the chair when needed.
Drive and power are handled by two 200W brushless motors paired with a 24V 10Ah lithium battery. The battery capacity equates to 240Wh. The manufacturer states an approximate range of 12 miles and a top speed of 4 mph. Range will vary with user weight, terrain, speed settings and other conditions.
Manoeuvrability and practical dimensions are suitable for everyday use. Ground clearance is 50 mm and the turning radius is 850 mm, allowing easier movement in tighter spaces. Seat width and depth are given as 450 mm x 420 mm. The chair is rated for a maximum user weight of 22 stone (about 140 kg). The maximum gradient listed is 13.5°.
Battery and travel considerations: the battery is lithium and has a rating of 240Wh. The manufacturer notes this is typically acceptable for air travel, but airlines and aviation rules differ. Always check with your airline before attempting to travel by air with the chair or battery. For charging, storage and handling follow the supplied instructions and official safety guidance.
