Folding electric wheelchairs, Edinburgh available from the experts at John Preston Healthcare.

If you need a powerchair but also want convenience and portability then it is worth looking at a folding electric wheelchair.

We are a leading supplier of wheelchairs in Scotland and have an excellent range of powerchairs that fold easily and can be brought with you in the boot of your car.

You should think about who will be folding your electric wheelchair. Their weight is a testament to the high level of engineering and detailed thought that has went into the design – but they are still around 18 – 20kg.

This is not an insignificant weight and it is worthwhile trying to lift this weight in a real world environment to see if you can do this.

We can of course supply you with a car hoist if needed! See these here.

We would recommend that you start by considering of of these folding electric wheelchairs;

  • Freedom electric wheelchair
  • Foldachair folding electric wheelchair

The above models are wheelchairs that fold manually. We also supply an automatic folding electric wheelchair that folds easily with the touch of a button.

  • Airwheel H3 automatic folding electric wheelchair
