The Drive DeVilbiss AeroCarbon is the opposite. Its carbon fibre frame weighs about 12 kg without the battery — the lightest powerchair in the Drive range — so it folds and lifts into a car boot without a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits you if walking any distance wears you out but you still want days out, trips to see family and holidays abroad. The lithium battery is the airline-safe kind, so the chair can travel with you rather than staying at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✅ Key Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout 12 kg to lift (13.5 kg with battery)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight enough for many partners or family members to lift into the car without straining their back — a big help if you're the one who usually does the lifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAirline-safe 10Ah lithium battery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLets the chair come on flights and holidays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFolds in one simple action\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFolds down small for the boot, a hallway or a hotel room, so it's ready when you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOff-board charging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake the battery indoors to charge while the chair stays in the car or garage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy joystick control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGentle, simple steering with one hand — kinder than pushing a manual chair if your arms or shoulders tire quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight-adjustable armrests and flip-up footplates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet the arms where they feel natural, and flip the footplates up to stand or transfer with clear space for your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional attendant control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA bracket for rear controls is available, so a companion can drive the chair from behind when you'd rather rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits best\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou travel by car or plane and need a chair that's easy to lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can't walk far but want to keep up with family on days out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsers up to 21.4 stone (136 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePavements, shops, hotels and smooth paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AeroCarbon is built to be light, so it's designed for pavements and indoor floors rather than rough ground. Its range is about 9.5 miles (14 km) on a charge, which covers most days out but not long countryside trips. Top speed is 4 mph. If you need more support, tilt or a longer range for all-day outdoor use, a larger standard powerchair will suit you better — we're happy to help you compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions customers ask us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take it on a plane?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe battery is airline-safe, so in most cases yes.
