Detailed product information
The Simply Fold Electric Wheelchair is a folding electric wheelchair that balances comfort, stability and everyday practicality. It is designed to fold down quickly without tools, reducing the space needed for storage or allowing easier transport by car.
Comfort is provided by a padded seat cushion and a lightly padded, breathable mesh half‑folding backrest, which helps keep the user cool while seated. A Velcro calf strap offers extra support to help keep legs in position. The 180° swing‑away footrests are removable and fitted with adjustable Velcro straps for secure positioning; they can be swung out of the way to help the user approach tables or get closer to surfaces.
Controls are via an easy‑to‑operate joystick that shows speed and battery level. The joystick unit also includes a USB port that can charge a small device while out and about. The powerchair has multiple speed settings to suit different environments and user comfort levels. Batteries are supplied with the product, and offer a top speed of 4 mph and a maximum range of about 10 miles (16 km) on a full charge.
The SimplyFold is intended for both indoor and extended outdoor use. It features durable run‑flat rear tyres and has a secondary parking brake for additional security when stationary. Anti‑tip wheels are fitted to improve stability on slopes and uneven surfaces. Caregiver push handles are fitted to allow an attendant to push the chair if required.
This powerchair is designed to carry a maximum user weight of 100 kgs (15.7 stone). The chair itself weighs approximately 43 kgs (94 lb), and can be folded for transport or storage.
