Light to lift, comfy to sit in and ready to fly

If you love to travel but dread lifting a heavy chair, the Motion Healthcare Photon Lite is worth a close look. The carbon fibre frame lifts at about 13.9 kg once the small battery and cushions are off, and it folds to about 38 x 62 x 74 cm.

It doesn't skimp on comfort either. A breathable mesh backrest, a soft cushion and a clever anti-flex seat that soaks up bumps mean you can sit happily for a long day of sightseeing — and the battery is airline-safe, so the chair can come on the plane.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• About 13.9 kg carry weight
  Easy for many partners and carers to lift into a car boot — a big help if lifting has become a worry.

• Airline-safe 240 Wh battery
  The 24V 10Ah lithium battery is within airline limits and weighs just 1.8 kg. Always check with your airline before you fly.

• Anti-flex seat system
  A rear shock absorbs bumps instead of the frame, so fewer jolts reach your back and hips.

• Breathable mesh backrest and soft cushion
  Stays cooler on warm days and comfortable on long ones — kind if you sit for hours on holiday.

• Up to 12 miles (19.3 km) on a charge
  Enough for a full day exploring a city, a resort or a garden.

• Twin 200 W brushless motors
  Copes with slopes up to 13.5°, such as ramps and dropped kerbs.

• Headlight, seatbelt and optional attendant remote
  See and be seen, sit securely, and let a companion steer when you'd like a rest.

Who it suits best

• Frequent travellers, including by air
• Carers who need a chair that's easy to lift
• Comfort-conscious users who sit for long periods
• Users up to 22 stone (140 kg)

Worth knowing before you buy

The Photon Lite is designed for travel and smooth surfaces. Ground clearance is 5 cm and the wheels are small, so it isn't suited to rough paths, grass or gravel. The seat is 45 cm wide, so if you need more room or carry more than 22 stone, a heavy-duty folding powerchair is a better fit.

Questions customers ask us

Can I take it on a plane?
Yes. Its 240 Wh battery is airline-safe, but each airline has its own rules, so please check when you book.

How much does it weigh altogether?
About 16.55 kg with battery and cushions, and about 13.9 kg for the frame on its own.

Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. We don't keep every model in stock, so give us a call first and we'll check it's in the showroom — and if it isn't, we can usually arrange a demo model for you. You can also book a free home assessment.
