Scooterpac Atom Power Folding Electric Wheelchair

The Lightest Folding Powerchair on the Market The Scooterpac Atom Power represents a groundbreaking achievement in powered mobility engineering—weighing just 13.2kg (29lbs) excluding batteries and accessories, it stands as the lightest folding powerchair available. This revolutionary weight enables car boot transport without vehicle modifications, air travel compliance, and storage in compact spaces. Constructed from advanced carbon fibre and aluminium alloy, the Power combines aerospace-grade materials with striking modern design, delivering powered convenience in an ultra-portable package. Revolutionary 13.2kg Folding Powerchair At just 13.2kg (29lbs) excluding anti-tip wheels, cushions, and batteries, the Atom Power achieves unprecedented lightness in a powered wheelchair. This exceptional weight—less than half of conventional folding powerchairs—enables single-person lifting into car boots, public transport use, and air travel without specialised equipment. The ultra-lightweight construction transforms powered mobility accessibility, making electric convenience achievable for users and helpers. One-Piece Compact Folding Design Unlike conventional powerchairs requiring disassembly of multiple components (batteries, seats, frames), the Atom Power features an innovative one-piece folding mechanism that collapses into a single unit. This “all-in-one folding miracle” eliminates time-consuming disassembly, reduces lost parts risks, and simplifies transport dramatically. The compact folded dimensions (850mm H x 530mm D x 600mm W) fit majority of car boots, while the one-piece design means no reassembly required upon arrival—simply unfold and drive. Carbon Fibre and Aluminium Construction Advanced materials engineering combines carbon fibre and aluminium alloy for aerospace-grade strength at revolutionary weight. Carbon fibre—typically reserved for elite racing and aerospace applications—delivers exceptional rigidity-to-weight ratios, while high-strength aluminium provides durable frame structure. This materials combination achieves professional-grade performance in consumer powerchair weights, with striking yellow accent features creating eye-catching modern aesthetics. Dual Removable Lithium Batteries Two powerful 24V 5.2Ah lithium batteries deliver 12-mile range with convenient dual charging options: charge onboard or remove batteries for indoor charging. The removable design suits upper-floor apartments, as batteries can be charged separately from the powerchair. Lithium technology provides lightweight power density, fast charging, and long cycle life compared to traditional sealed lead-acid batteries. Dual battery configuration ensures balanced weight distribution and extended operational range. Intuitive Joystick Control System Precision joystick controller enables assured control of direction, speed, and braking through simple fingertip movements. The easy-to-use interface requires minimal hand strength, with progressive speed control allowing gentle acceleration and smooth deceleration. Ergonomic joystick positioning ensures comfortable operation during extended use, while the intuitive design enables quick learning for new users. All powerchair functions—forward, reverse, left, right, speed adjustment—controlled through single joystick interface. Dual 300W Brushless Motors Twin 300W brushless motors (rear-wheel drive configuration) deliver reliable, efficient power for indoor and outdoor use. Brushless motor technology provides maintenance-free operation, whisper-quiet performance, and superior energy efficiency compared to brushed motors. The dual-motor configuration ensures balanced power delivery, enhanced traction, and redundancy for safety. Capable of handling 10-degree slopes with 19-stone capacity, the motors provide assured hill climbing and outdoor capability. Automatic Electromagnetic Braking Strong automatic electromagnetic brakes engage instantly when joystick is released, providing reliable stopping power and parking brake functionality. The automatic engagement ensures fail-safe braking—no manual brake application required—crucial for safety on slopes and inclines. Electromagnetic design delivers consistent braking performance regardless of weather conditions, while the maintenance-free configuration eliminates brake adjustment requirements. Neutral Mode Transit Capability Innovative neutral mode feature allows motors to disengage when battery runs low, converting the Power into a conventional transit wheelchair. This dual-functionality is valuable if batteries deplete unexpectedly—simply switch motors to neutral and the powerchair can be pushed manually by an attendant. This backup capability provides added convenience for extended outings and eliminates stranding concerns from battery depletion. 360° Attendant Control (Standard) Unlike competitors offering attendant control as optional extra, the Atom Power includes 360° attendant control as standard equipment. This comprehensive control system enables helpers or attendants to operate the powerchair when needed, with full directional control and speed adjustment. The 360° capability allows operation from any position around the wheelchair, providing maximum flexibility for attendants. Superior Comfort Features The seat is constructed with 1-inch thick super-supportive material engineered to even pressure distribution throughout the body’s contact points, reducing pressure points during extended sitting. Intuitive flip-back padded armrests support comfortable positioning while enabling easy entry and exit—the flip-back design creates unobstructed side access for transfers. The wider, flatter footplate provides enhanced comfort and stable foot positioning, while the 21-inch seat-to-floor height (530mm) accommodates varied user requirements. Large Wheels for Enhanced Control Super-sized 12-inch rear wheels (305mm PU rubber) provide enhanced control and traction across indoor and outdoor surfaces. The large diameter handles obstacles, kerbs, and uneven terrain securely, while solid PU construction eliminates puncture concerns. Front 7-inch wheels (177mm PU solid) deliver smooth steering and manoeuvrability. The solid tyre construction throughout ensures maintenance-free operation—no inflation monitoring, no flat tyre risks, no tyre pressure concerns. Indoor and Outdoor Versatility Unlike mobility scooters designed primarily for outdoor use, the Atom Power is specifically engineered for both indoor and outdoor environments. The slimline 23.5-inch width (600mm) navigates standard doorways and tight indoor spaces, while the compact 600mm turning radius enables rotation in small areas—perfect for home corridors, shop aisles, and restaurant spaces. The 4mph speed and robust construction handle outdoor pavements, parks, and varied terrain with equal capability. Class 2 Powerchair Specifications As a Class 2 powerchair with 4mph maximum speed, the Atom Power is legally permitted on pavements throughout neighbourhoods but cannot be driven on roads (except where no pavement exists). This classification provides substantial outdoor mobility convenience while maintaining pedestrian-compatible speeds. The Power serves as perfect travel companion for local shops, parks, appointments, and social activities on pavements and pedestrian areas.
