Lightweight electric wheelchairs operate the same way as standard electric wheelchairs but are specifically designed to be smaller and more portable. They run on rechargeable batteries and are driven using a joystick or mouse controller. Also known as lightweight power wheelchairs or lightweight motorized wheelchairs, these devices will usually either disassemble or fold for easier transportation and can weigh as little as 50 pounds. They often sport sleek, minimalist designs and can be purchased with a wide array of optional accessories.
Because of their compact size, lightweight electric wheelchairs are some of the most nimble and maneuverable mobility devices on the market. Users can control them by tilting the joystick in the direction they want to go. When you need to stop, just let go of the joystick or mouse controller and the device automatically brakes.

Portability: Lightweight electric wheelchairs are much easier to transport than standard or heavy-duty chairs thanks to their compact size. They typically either fold up or disassemble into separate pieces, making them great for travel or weekend outings. Most of our models also come with airline approved batteries. Think about how you will be using your lightweight power wheelchair and what level of portability you require.
Maneuverability: In general, lightweight electric wheelchairs have smaller turning radiuses than standard chairs. This allows you to navigate tight spaces and narrow doorways, which can be a necessity if you live in a cramped apartment or older home.
Size: As you’d imagine, lightweight electric wheelchairs tend to be significantly smaller than other power wheelchairs. Pay special attention to the width of the device, as it will need to fit through the doorways in your home and workplace. Be sure to check the product specs prior to purchasing.
Weight Capacity: Lightweight motorized wheelchairs typically have a weight capacity between 225 and 300 pounds. Consider how much weight your powerchair will need to handle.
Technology: Some lightweight electric wheelchairs come with Bluetooth remote control and can lock/unlock via an app. Consider if this added functionality is important to you.
