Carbon Fibre Electric Wheelchair DC013 — Ultra-Lightweight Folding Power Chair

Description Carbon Fibre Electric Wheelchair DC013 — Ultra-Lightweight Folding Power Chair with Lumbar Support The DC013 is a carbon fibre folding electric wheelchair built for easy, independent travel. Its high-strength carbon fibre frame makes it one of the lightest power wheelchairs available, so it’s far easier to lift into a car boot, fold away at home, or take on a trip — giving many users back the freedom to get out without relying on someone to lift or push. It adds a supportive lumbar cushion for comfort on longer days. Often searched as an ultra-lightweight folding wheelchair, carbon fibre electric wheelchair, portable power chair or travel electric wheelchair, the DC013 pairs low weight with a reliable, easy-to-use powered drive — and switches to free-wheel mode so it can be pushed manually if needed.

Carbon fibre offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio — a strong, durable frame at a fraction of the weight of traditional steel or aluminium power chairs. For you or a carer, that means much less lifting strain when loading it into the car, and a chair that’s genuinely practical to travel with. Many users tell us the biggest difference is independence: being able to manage the chair themselves rather than depending on someone else to lift it. Why People Choose the DC013 Ultra-lightweight carbon fibre frame — one of the lightest power chairs available, easy to lift and load Quick fold — folds down in seconds to fit many car boots and store easily at home Lumbar support cushion — added comfort for longer days out Removable lithium battery — easy to charge on or off the chair, and airline-friendly (always confirm your airline’s battery rules before flying) Dual 250W motors — smooth, stable powered drive indoors and out Joystick control with 5 speed settings — simple, precise and easy to use Electric or free-wheel mode — switch to manual push if the battery runs low Free NZ-wide delivery with a 12-month manufacturer warranty Made for Travel and Everyday Independence Whether it’s daily errands, visiting family, or a bigger trip away, the DC013 is designed to go with you. The quick fold makes it easy to stow in the car, and the light carbon fibre frame means loading it doesn’t have to be a two-person job. A removable battery makes charging simple and supports air travel, so you can keep your own chair with you rather than hiring one at your destination. If you ever run low on charge, red levers on both sides switch the chair into free-wheel mode so it can be pushed by hand. Easy to Use The joystick controller puts everything at your fingertips — power, horn, a battery-level indicator and five speed settings, so you can set a gentle pace indoors or a quicker one outdoors. Speed increases smoothly with the joystick, and releasing it brings the chair safely to a stop.

If you’re unsure whether it suits the user’s needs, we recommend checking with an occupational therapist or your health professional, and our team is happy to help. Always wear the seat belt, keep to a safe speed, and follow local rules for mobility devices used in public spaces. Frequently Asked Questions How heavy is the DC013?
