The X-9 is a 30kg folding powerchair designed around comfort over longer days, with a powered reclining backrest and powered leg rests that can be raised or lowered independently from the joystick handset. That's particularly reassuring for carers, who can manage a loved one's position from close by without strain. The 12Ah battery gives up to 19 miles of range and is airline-friendly for holidays. The X-9 still folds compactly for most UK car boots. Configured in the UK before dispatch, with free UK delivery, eligible VAT relief and our 30-day home trial included.

The X-9's reclining backrest and leg rests are operated from an all-directional joystick handset. A small switch on the handset swaps control between driving and reclining. Once in recline mode, pushing the joystick forwards and back tilts the backrest; left and right raises or lowers each leg rest independently. That independence matters — you can elevate one leg after a knee replacement while leaving the other flat, or tilt the backrest for a quick rest without moving the legs. A manual override on the frame handles positioning if the battery ever runs flat. The system is sealed and weather-resistant, and every X-9 is tested before dispatch. The powered recline and leg rest motors are covered under the UK warranty for the term stated on your order.

For many families, the X-9 changes the rhythm of the day by shifting routine repositioning from the carer to the user. Instead of a carer manually tilting a backrest or raising a leg every hour, the user adjusts themselves from the handset — and a carer standing nearby can help with the same controls if needed. That's less physical strain on the carer, particularly over a long day, and more independence for the user. For hospital visits, family gatherings or longer trips in the car, the X-9 also allows mid-journey repositioning without standing up or transferring out of the chair. Every X-9 is configured in the UK before dispatch, with free UK delivery, eligible VAT relief and our 30-day home trial included.

At 30kg overall, the X-9 is heavier than most lightweight folders, but it still folds compactly enough for most UK family cars. Folded dimensions are approximately 95cm long, 60cm wide and 50cm high with the battery removed. The battery and leg rests come off first, splitting the chair into manageable sections rather than a single 30kg piece. Estates and SUVs handle the folded chair without difficulty; a standard hatchback may need the rear seats folded down. For users who lift solo, the section approach is friendlier on the back than trying to load the full chair in one go.
