Invacare's unique Esprit Action4 NG was our pick for a transportable powered wheelchair. It folds up to a compact size for easy storage, whether in a car or your house. Unlike other powered wheelchairs that present themselves as being easy to transport in a car, the heaviest part of the Esprit Action4 NG is just 15 kg, meaning it is as easy to lift as our lightweight manual wheelchairs.
Our Transportable Powerchairs are bespoke built to our specifications to provide an incredibly light and simple to use electric wheelchair. Comfortable to sit in, the tension adjustable backrest straps can be individually set by our product specialists to provide you the maximum level of support and comfort.
The key to the Esprit Action4 NG's innovative design is that the motors are built into the rear wheels, both of which can be detached by simply pushing and turning the hub. This keeps the weight of the main frame down to the same as that of a manual wheelchair, allowing it to be easily lifted into and out of a car for transport. With no tools required, this powerchair has no fiddly parts to remove, and is as easy to disassemble and reassemble as a boot scooter, requiring just one person to do the job.
As a result of its design, the motors sit inside the wheels, giving the wheelchair an extremely narrow frame. This allows it to be manoeuvred around tight spaces indoors, such as in shops. The wheelchair is equally capable outdoors, though it lacks the longer range found on more traditional electric wheelchairs. Clever wheel protection bumpers are fitted to protect the tyres and alloys from accidental hits.
A truly unique wheelchair, our Transportable Powerchair is best suited to people for whom easy car transportability is vital. Requiring just one person to disassemble and lift into a car, it allows you to regain your independence in a way unrivalled by any other powered wheelchair. We also offer a Lightweight Folding Powerchair for hire, which doesn't require any disassembly for transport - however, it does require lifting 24 kg at once.
