Drive AutoFold
Our verdict
The one to buy if you cannot fold a chair yourself: it folds by remote fob and takes riders up to 150 kg.
Best for: riders up to 150 kg, and people who cannot fold or unfold a frame by hand.
Not for: anyone lifting it alone. It folds as one 28 kg piece.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
The manual’s warranty line says three years, then lists one year plus one further year, which adds to two. Ask the dealer to confirm the frame term in writing before you buy. Speed is 4 mph on the product page and 3.7 mph in the manual. The page says “28kg (excluding batteries)” in the plural and elsewhere says the chair “only requires one battery”.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Electric Wheelchairs UK: 10 Powerchairs Checked Against Their Makers’ Manuals, where it is ranked number 5. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
