The Best Electric Wheelchairs, From Folding to Made-to-Measure - Active Mobility Ltd

These are the Electric Wheelchairs we recommend most, grouped by what you need them for. Prices are our current website prices. Made-to-measure chairs go up in price as you add features.

Our top pick: Pride Jazzy Air 2 (from £3,359)

The Jazzy Air 2 gives you the benefits of an electric wheelchair without the high-end extras you may not need. It feels very stable, and the seat rises so you can reach the top shelf at home or in the supermarket without asking for help. You can also hire one from Stratford Shopmobility.

Best everyday Electric Wheelchairs

Best made-to-measure Electric Wheelchairs

  • Quickie Q300 M (from £6,750): narrow wheelbase for tight spaces, nippy, and built with the features you need
  • Quantum Edge 3 Stretto (from £6,550): just as narrow and nippy, made to measure
  • Quickie Q500 M (from £6,950): very popular, with power positioning
  • Karma Morgan (from £5,125): often overlooked, but just as good as the Q500 on comfort and value

Pre-owned Electric Wheelchairs

New made-to-measure chairs get expensive once you add features. We can often source a pre-owned prescriptive chair, such as an ex-Motability one, in brilliant condition for roughly £3,000 to £5,000 depending on age and spec. Ask us what's available.

One tip for every power chair

Power chairs have no key, so most can be locked with a sequence on the joystick. It's worth doing if you leave the chair, for example to use the bathroom. If yours locks by accident, don't panic. Call us and we'll talk you through unlocking it.
