Comfortable all day, quick when you want to be, and slim enough for home

Some people need an electric wheelchair (also known as a powerchair) that does everything: squeezes round the kitchen in the morning, then carries them comfortably into town in the afternoon. The Invacare AVIVA RX40 Modulite is built for exactly that kind of full, varied day.

It sits on a narrow 560 mm base for tight spaces at home, yet its CTC suspension and motor options up to 8 mph make longer trips outdoors feel smooth and unhurried. The Modulite seat is set up around you, with tilt and recline, so you stay comfortable from breakfast to bedtime.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• CTC suspension for a smoother ride
  Keeps the wheels in contact with the ground over kerbs, cambers and broken paving, so fewer bumps travel through your back, neck and shoulders.

• Up to 47 km (29 miles) with the larger batteries
  With 73.5 Ah batteries, a long day out — shops, lunch, a visit and home again — is well within reach.

• Speed options from 4 mph up to 8 mph
  Choose a gentle pace for pavements, or the faster motor if you want to cover longer distances outdoors.

• Narrow 560 mm base
  Gets through most internal doors and round furniture, so you can stay independent in your own home.

• Modulite seating with tilt and recline
  Tilt up to 15° and recline up to 30° to ease pressure on your bottom and lower back, rest during the day, and keep a good posture if you sit for long hours.

• Seat lift option
  Raise yourself to reach kitchen cupboards, chat at eye level or transfer more easily.

• LiNX controls with optional G-Trac
  G-Trac helps the chair hold a straight line on sloping pavements, so you're not constantly correcting the joystick — helpful if hand strength or control is limited.

• Crash tested
  Can travel as a seat in a suitably adapted vehicle.

Colours available

Black, Silver, Bengal Red, Mercury Blue and Midnight Purple.

Who it suits best

• You spend most of the day in your chair, indoors and out
• You'd like faster speeds for longer outdoor trips
• You need tilt, recline or postural seating set up for you
• Users up to 136 kg (21 stone)

Worth knowing before you buy

The RX40 Modulite is a full-size, non-folding chair, so it won't go in a car boot — a folding electric wheelchair is the better choice for that. It carries users up to 136 kg (21 stone); if you need more capacity, look at the heavy-duty RX40 HD version. Because the seating is configured to you, we recommend an assessment so everything is set up correctly.
