Is This Right for Me?
Not sure if this chair fits your needs?
Start here.
If you want a compact electric wheelchair that blends genuine portability with all-day comfort, the IQ-8000 is designed for people who refuse to compromise on either. It suits pavement journeys, shopping trips, appointments and travel where a lightweight fold, reliable range and confident control are non-negotiable.
✅ A good fit if you:
- Use indoors and outdoors — compact turning radius and smooth drive handles home corridors, pavements and shopping centres with ease
- Prioritise seating comfort — memory foam cooling gel silicon cushion reduces pressure on longer sits and extended outings
- Want unbeatable range — up to 19 miles with the 20Ah battery pack*
- Need a portable wheelchair for car boot — tool-free fold fits most hatchbacks
- Want flexible, confident control — 360° all-direction joystick suits self-propelled users and caregiver-assisted driving equally
- Need a quiet, everyday Class 2 invalid carriage — 4 mph governed speed and electromagnetic braking for safe pavement use
- Value travel freedom — 12AH battery (288Wh) is airline and cruise approved for worry-free domestic and international trips (confirm with carrier)**
⚠️ May not be ideal if you:
- Regular off-road use (deep mud or rough tracks) — the IQ-8000 electric wheelchair is built for pavements, indoor floors, and everyday outdoor paths like firm grass, gravel, and bricks.
- Cannot lift 23 kg — the heaviest section may require a helper or car boot hoist for independent loading
- Require specialist clinical positioning — this is a compact folding electric wheelchair for everyday mobility, not a tilt-in-space or complex rehab seating system
If you’re unsure, our team will help you decide before you order.
* Range varies with user weight, terrain, temperature and driving style.
** Battery acceptance rules vary by airline/cruise operator—always confirm before travel.

- Attach Joystick Locks in place. Slide the joystick into the bracket slot, tighten the hand-knob, and connect the single cable pin securely.
