Product Details

The InstaFold Powerchair is back and is even better! Based on our original best selling InstaFold, we have retained the easy folding design as well as adding front suspension to give you a more comfortable ride, giving you an all-round excellent electric wheelchair solution.

The innovative easy folding mechanism is different to other electric wheelchairs and simply folds all the way down with one action, similarly to the way you would fold down a children’s pushchair resulting in a more compact size which is ideal for travel & transportation. With this in mind, the electric wheelchair has the ability to fit into even the smaller car boots and allows it to be stored inside the home without hindrance.

With a lightweight aluminium frame that weighs only 25kg makes it easier to manage when transferring the electric wheelchair to and from your vehicle. The Instafold powerchair includes a modern, lightweight 24 v 10ah Lithium battery which is airline friendly. These batteries are widely used in used in portable electronic devices and are being utilised more and more for mobility products because of their lightweight and portable size. The InstaFold also has a USB port so you can charge your mobile phone (please note that USB charging will reduce the battery life by 4%).

When fully charged the battery will travel up to 7.5 miles, thanks to the batteries small size an additional battery can be charged and carried in the storage bag underneath the chair to provide you will additional range should you be travelling that extra mile.

The InstaFold Powerchair also shows off a fresh new design with a metallic silver finish frame and stylish black and silver wheel hubs with easy to clean and virtually maintenance free puncture proof tyres.

Free Insurance Cover for a month

This Instafold Electric Wheelchair comes with an optional FREE one-month, worldwide insurance package that includes 24/7 breakdown recovery as well as protection from accidental damage. You'll also be covered should you accidentally injure someone or damage their property when using your Instafold Electric Wheelchair and protected from theft and vandalism.

    Fantastic Wheelchair

    Review by M. Jarvis Posted on 03/12/2025 22:54:40
    I bought this for my daughter after they returned from a holiday in canada where she had hired a travel buggy. The instafold wheelchair is very similar at a cheaper price. She tells me that the instafold is actually better, easier to control and more comfortable. The chair folds up easily and unfolds in one easy move. We ordered the chair from essentialaids after seeing an advert. The price was fantastic. Ordered on one evening and it arrived within two working days and was well packaged. fantastic service and would recommend and buy again.

    Perfect

    Review by D. Grimwood Posted on 01/12/2025 09:23:17
    This has been a life changer for me- easy to fold and put into the car- easy to manoeuvre and stops as soon as you take your hand of joystick.

    Easy to set up & use.

    Review by J. Taylor Posted on 16/11/2025 10:48:46
    This has been a life changer for my partner. she couldn’t enjoy our shopping trips & days out any more. Now she’s able to get out & about & reclaim her independence again. we can lift it in & out of her car easily, but she needs a ramp to do it on her own. Small price to pay to see her happy again.
