The IQ-8000 is our compact folding powerchair, built for UK users who want a straightforward chair without compromising on the essentials. You can choose between a 45cm or 51cm seating width, with the wider version using a reinforced frame. The 20Ah battery gives up to 19 miles of range, and a 12Ah airline-approved option is also available for holidays and flights. The heaviest single lift piece is around 23kg for the 45cm seat width. Cushion and backrest upgrades in leather or linen are offered at configuration. Configured in the UK before dispatch, with free UK delivery, eligible VAT relief and a 30-day home trial.

The IQ-8000 is offered in two seat widths, and the right choice comes down to hip measurement and typical winter clothing. Sit on a firm chair, measure across your hips at the widest point, and add 3 to 4cm for comfort. A 45cm seat suits most average UK builds and keeps the folded chair as compact as possible. A 51cm seat adds room for broader hips or bulkier coats, and uses a reinforced frame to maintain the same ride characteristics. If you're between the two, the 51cm gives more wriggle room without affecting the chair's ability to fit through a standard UK interior door, which measures 76cm. Our team can talk through sizing before you order, and the 30-day home trial applies.

The IQ-8000 comes with a 20Ah battery as standard, giving up to 19 miles of range on a full charge — enough for most daily routines of shopping, appointments and a walk. A 12Ah airline-approved battery is offered as an alternative, coming in under the 300Wh limit that most airlines set for lithium batteries in the cabin. The 12Ah pack is lighter, extends less far on a charge, and suits travel, shorter days, or users who mostly ride indoors. Many buyers keep both batteries — daily use on the 20Ah, travel days on the 12Ah. Charging from flat takes roughly 6 to 8 hours from a standard UK three-pin socket. Genuine replacement batteries are stocked in the UK for the life of the chair.

The IQ-8000 folds to approximately 80cm long, 56cm wide and 30cm high in its 45cm seat configuration. The 51cm seat version adds roughly 6cm to the width. Most UK family hatchbacks will take the folded chair with the rear seats in place; a supermini may need the rear seats folded down. Estates and SUVs rarely have any fit problem. The battery comes out first, which drops the heaviest single lift piece to around 23kg. For low car boots, load the chair on its side rather than upright, which keeps the lift closer to your waist. If you'd like us to confirm the fit against your specific make and model, our UK team is happy to check folded dimensions before you order.
