Advanced Powered Mobility Solutions for Everyday Independence
Powerchairs are ideal for people who require greater support than a manual wheelchair while retaining full control over movement. Unlike scooters, powerchairs are designed for close-control manoeuvring, making them especially suitable for indoor use, tighter spaces, and daily living.
At TravelAbility UK, our powerchairs in Whitley Bay are carefully selected to suit a wide range of needs, from compact folding models for travel to highly supportive chairs with elevating and reclining functions.
Types of Powerchairs Available
Compact & Indoor Powerchairs
Compact powerchairs are designed for excellent manoeuvrability inside the home. With tight turning circles and responsive controls, they are ideal for bungalows, flats, care environments, and everyday indoor movement.
Best suited for:
- Indoor use
- Narrow doorways and hallways
- Users needing precise control
- Day-to-day home independence
You can also compare these options with our wheelchairs before deciding which solution best suits their lifestyle.
Folding & Travel Powerchairs
Folding powerchairs offer the convenience of portability without sacrificing comfort. These models are lightweight, easy to fold or dismantle, and fit into most car boots, making them perfect for travel and family outings.
Key benefits:
- Lightweight and portable
- Airline-friendly lithium battery options on selected models
- Quick folding mechanisms
- Ideal for holidays and visiting family
If portability is your priority, our team can help you compare folding powerchairs with lightweight mobility scooters to find the right option.
Powerchairs with Elevation, Tilt & Recline
Advanced powerchairs offer enhanced comfort and postural support through powered elevation, tilt, and recline functions. These features can improve circulation, pressure relief, eye-level social interaction, and overall well-being.
Benefits include:
- Elevating seats for eye-level engagement
- Powered tilt and recline for comfort and pressure management
- Enhanced outdoor stability on selected models
- Suitable for longer daily use
Our team will always recommend a free home demonstration so you can try these features in your own environment.
