Foldalite

The Foldalite is one of the newest additions to our fleet of powerchairs, and we love it for its intelligent design, comfortable setup and smooth control. This is the ideal powerchair for the frequent traveller looking for a perfect combination of indoor manoeuvrability and outdoor performance.

The Foldalite really cracks the code when it comes to ease of use. After just a few minutes familiarising yourself with the setup of this powerchair, you'll be able to quickly and effortlessly fold it into a compact package that's perfect for storage and transportation. With a weight of just 25kg (3st 13lbs), you won't struggle to lift the Foldalite into the boot of your car either.

This powerchair features a user-friendly LCD joystick with auto-shutdown to minimise loss of battery charge when stationary. The joystick can also be fitted to either armrest depending on your preferences.

Longer journeys won't be a chore with the Foldalite. The multi-position adjustable backrest helps you find the perfect driving position, and there's a removable cushion included. The leg guards can be adjusted to suit your frame, and the anti-tip design offers plenty of reassurance when taking on grassy terrain and high kerbs.

You'll have enough power to get you wherever you need to go too. Dedicated brushless motors are located on each rear wheel to provide extra efficiency and long-term performance, and the li-ion phosphate battery is safer, lighter and longer-lasting than those found on other powerchairs. On a full charge the Foldalite can manage an impressive 15km (9 miles). The off-board charging capability is handy for those who don't have the space to store their powerchair indoors.

Underneath the seat you'll find a convenient storage bag so you can keep all your essentials close to hand, while the Foldalite also features a comfortable push bar for when you need the assistance of a carer or attendant. For ease of access and to get closer to desks and tables, the Foldalite is fitted with swing-away armrests and a flip-up footrest.

The Watt Hours (Wh) of the Foldalite batteries are 120Wh each (240Wh total) so are allowed by the Civil Aviation Authority.

CareCo powerchairs are supplied with batteries and a charger, and your purchase includes free courier delivery to your door. You'll also get 12 months parts and labour warranty including home engineer call out, as well as 30 days FREE powerchair insurance and breakdown cover.
