Electric wheelchairs offer freedom and independence to thousands across the UK, but many ask: “Are electric wheelchairs heavy?” The answer varies depending on design and purpose. Let’s explore what you should look out for.
🪶 Lightweight & Easy to Transport
Thanks to innovative designs and lightweight materials, modern electric wheelchairs are much easier to handle. Take the Easwe A10 for instance — it weighs just 18kg (without battery), folds in seconds, and fits easily into most car boots.
Perfect for travel, public transport, or everyday use around town.
💪 More Power = More Weight
Some wheelchairs are built for durability and longer journeys. The Easwe B10 is a fantastic example — slightly heavier but offers enhanced comfort, longer battery life, and excellent performance on uneven surfaces.
A great choice if you frequently travel outdoors or need all-day support.
🔍 What Affects the Weight?
Motor power – stronger motors = more weight
Battery size – longer range usually means heavier batteries
Frame material – aluminium is lighter than steel
Add-ons – suspension, cushions, armrests all add to total weight
✈️ Planning to Travel?
Both A10 and B10 models come with airline-approved batteries, so they’re ready for domestic and international travel. Always double-check with your airline first for battery size limits.
✅ Final Thoughts
If portability is key, the A10 is ideal — light, strong, and easy to fold. Need extra power and range? Go for the B10, built for reliability and comfort over longer distances.
