The Featherlite is a lightweight, folding electric wheelchair for daily use. It weighs 18.7 kg with the battery attached. It has 250W brushless motors, which handle inclines, run quietly and make freewheeling smoother. The black model has thicker front and rear tires.
It folds into a compact package in seconds, and the battery does not need to be removed first. It is light enough to lift into a car. Built-in handles sewn into the seat can be used to carry the folded chair or lift it into a car boot.
A joystick controls the chair and can be placed on either the left or right side. The controller can also be mounted on the handlebar for carer or attendant control, which needs a separate carer-control bracket. An LED torch under the controller lights the path ahead and switches on and off with a button on the control pad.
