Drive AirFold
Our verdict
Light and capable, but Drive’s own AeroCarbon now beats it on weight and rider limit. Buy the AirFold only at a clear discount.
Best for: riders up to 115 kg who want a light folding chair and find one well under AeroCarbon money.
Not for: anyone over 115 kg, or anyone who needs to turn in tight spaces (120 cm).
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The product page says 17.6 kg with batteries. The manual describes the chair as “weighing only 17kg”, while its own table gives 15.8 kg plus a 1.8 kg battery, which is 17.6 kg. Speed is 4 mph in the leaflet and 3.7 mph in the manual.
Where these figures come from
