Folding and Lightweight Electric Wheelchairs
A lightweight electric wheelchair changes what is possible. You can load it into the car boot, take it on a domestic flight, or store it in a small apartment without fuss. Most models in this range weigh between 14 kg and 22 kg, fold in seconds, and run on lithium-ion batteries that charge overnight.
If portability is your priority, this is where to start. We carry a range of folding and portable power chairs to suit different weight capacities, seat widths, and travel ranges.
Carbon Fibre Electric Wheelchairs
Carbon fibre frames offer the best strength-to-weight ratio available. A carbon fibre electric wheelchair can weigh as little as 13 kg while still supporting up to 120 kg. That makes them a standout choice for anyone who needs a reliable power chair without the bulk of a steel frame.

Compact Indoor Electric Wheelchairs
Indoor electric wheelchairs are designed with tighter turning circles and narrower frames so you can move comfortably through hallways, doorways, and around furniture. They are well suited to home use, aged care facilities, and anywhere you need precise, quiet control.

Heavy-Duty and All-Terrain Electric Wheelchairs
Not every journey happens on a smooth surface. If you spend time outdoors, visit parks and beaches, or live somewhere with uneven paths, a heavy-duty or all-terrain electric wheelchair gives you the stability and ground clearance to keep going.
These models feature larger rear wheels, reinforced frames, and more powerful motors. Many support higher weight capacities and longer battery ranges, making them a solid choice for full-day use.
Off-Road and Outdoor Power Wheelchairs
Off-road electric wheelchairs are built to handle grass, gravel, slopes, and outdoor terrain. They typically feature four-wheel drive or mid-wheel drive systems and elevated ground clearance. If getting outdoors is important to your independence, an all-terrain powerchair opens up options that standard models cannot.

How to Choose the Right Electric Wheelchair
The right choice depends on how and where you will use it. Here are the most important things to consider:
- Weight capacity: Check the rated limit and leave a comfortable margin above your weight.
- Frame weight and portability: If you transport it by car or plane, a lighter folding model will save you significant effort.
- Battery range: Think about your typical day. Most models offer 15 to 30 km per charge. If you are out all day, aim for the higher end.
- Indoor vs outdoor use: Indoor models prioritise tight turning and narrow frames. Outdoor models prioritise stability and ground clearance.
- Seat width and comfort: The seat should allow two fingers of clearance on each side. Good back support is essential for longer periods of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight capacity of electric wheelchairs?
Most electric wheelchairs support between 100 kg and 160 kg. Heavy-duty and bariatric models can support 180 kg or more. Always check the product's rated capacity before purchasing and factor in any items you carry with you.
Can I take an electric wheelchair on a plane in Australia?
Most domestic and international airlines accept electric wheelchairs, but you need to notify the airline at least 48 hours before travel. Lithium-ion batteries must meet IATA watt-hour limits (typically 300 Wh per battery). Contact your airline directly to confirm their specific requirements before you fly.
How long does an electric wheelchair battery last on a single charge?
Most electric wheelchairs provide a range of 15 to 30 km on a full charge, depending on the model, terrain, and rider weight. Lithium-ion batteries typically last 3 to 5 years. If your range is noticeably shorter than the rated specification, the battery may need replacing.
Can I buy an electric wheelchair using my NDIS funding?
Yes, electric wheelchairs can often be purchased using NDIS funding. Contact your plan manager or support coordinator to confirm your entitlements and request approval. Once approved, we provide a tax invoice. Pay it and we ship your order straight away.
