The G-5 Series is our entry point into folding electric wheelchairs, offered in two variants so you can pick the features that matter to you. The Standard G-5 uses a reliable brushed motor, while the G-5 Pro upgrades to a quieter brushless motor, LCD joystick display, built-in LED headlight and USB charging port. The Pro has a heaviest single lift piece of around 17kg, and the 12Ah battery gives up to 15 miles per charge. Both are folding chairs suitable for the car boot. Configured in the UK before dispatch, with free UK delivery, eligible VAT relief and a 30-day home trial.

The two G-5 variants share the same folding frame and overall footprint, but the Pro adds several practical upgrades. The Standard uses a brushed motor and a basic joystick — reliable, straightforward, and keeps the price down. The Pro upgrades to a quieter brushless motor sitting below 50 decibels, an LCD joystick display showing speed, battery level and diagnostics, a built-in LED headlight for dim conditions, and a USB charging port for your phone on longer trips. The Pro also drops the heaviest single lift piece to around 17kg, putting it into genuine lightweight territory. The Standard suits buyers on a tighter budget for occasional use; the Pro suits daily users who want quieter running and more features as standard.

A brushed motor is the older, simpler design used across the mobility industry for decades. It's reliable, inexpensive, and well-suited to moderate daily use. The trade-offs are a faint audible whine and small carbon brushes inside that wear down gradually over years. A brushless motor replaces those contacts with electronic switching, which removes the whine, eliminates a common wear item, and usually extracts slightly more range from the same battery. For users who spend long hours indoors in the chair — a library, a living room, a hospital waiting area — brushless is noticeably quieter and worth the upgrade. For outdoor or occasional use, brushed remains a sensible choice. The G-5 Standard uses brushed; the G-5 Pro uses brushless.

The G-5 Series is our entry point into folding electric wheelchairs, built for buyers who want a straightforward chair without paying for features they won't use. The Standard suits users who mostly ride outdoors, whose chairs see moderate daily use, and whose budget matters. The Pro suits users who want a quieter motor for indoor use, added convenience features like a headlight and USB port, and a lighter lift for the car boot. Both chairs share the same folding mechanism, seating and warranty cover. Neither is aimed at users who need all-day range or bariatric capacity — for those, our IQ range or 440 HD Plus are better matches. Every G-5 comes with free UK delivery, eligible VAT relief and our 30-day home trial.
