Independent remote comfort control — built for all-day confidence
- Travel-ready battery — the 12Ah (288Wh) lithium-ion battery is accepted by most major airlines and cruise lines; always confirm with your carrier before travel**
- Dual 250W brushless motors (500W total) — quiet, powerful drive tackles inclines up to 6° with smooth, steady performance that won't disturb in shops, appointments, lifts or at home
- Fully remote-controlled seating system — 360° all-direction intelligent joystick with independently adjust the backrest recline and raise or lower the left and right leg rests from the handset; ideal for users and caregivers managing comfort at a distance
- Robust yet transportable — heaviest single piece 30 kg; folds to a compact for loading into a car boot, with no tools required
- Built for reliability, not just specification — intelligent electromagnetic braking, maintenance-free motors and a durable frame rated to 140 kg (approx. 22 st) for long-term daily confidence
Is This Right for Me?
Not sure if this chair fits your needs?
Start here.
If you need a portable electric wheelchair that genuinely adapts to your comfort throughout the day — not just your journey — the X-9 was designed with you in mind. Its auto recline backrest and independent auto lifting leg rests make it especially suited to users who spend extended time seated or who benefit from positional changes without needing to transfer.
✅ A good fit if you:
- Use indoors and outdoors — smooth manoeuvrability at home and confident performance on pavements, retail floors and firm paths
- Require adjustable seating comfort — remote-controlled backrest recline and independently operated left and right leg rests support repositioning without transfers
- Want reliable daily range — up to 13 miles on the standard 12Ah battery or up to 19 miles with the upgraded 20Ah battery pack*
- Need a portable wheelchair for the car boot — suit most hatchbacks and family saloons; no tools needed to fold
- Prefer flexible control options — 360° all-direction joystick suits both self-propelled users and caregiver operation
- Value dependable stopping power — intelligent electromagnetic braking provides safe, consistent deceleration on slopes and kerb approaches, everyday Class 2 invalid carriage with 4 mph governed speed
- Travel by air or sea — 12AH battery (288Wh) is airline and cruise compatible for worry-free domestic and international trips (always confirm with carrier)**
⚠️ May not be ideal if you:
- Regular off-road use (deep mud or rough tracks) — X-9 electric wheelchair is built for pavements, indoor floors, and everyday outdoor paths like firm grass, gravel, and bricks.
- Cannot lift 30 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.
