Monarch Air Pro Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchair
The Monarch Air Pro is a lightweight folding electric wheelchair weighing just 12.5kg without the battery, making it one of the most portable powered wheelchairs available in the UK. Built with a magnesium alloy frame, this folding electric wheelchair delivers robust construction without adding unnecessary weight, providing a practical solution for travel, storage, and everyday use.
Ultra-Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Construction
The Air Pro features a magnesium alloy frame that provides exceptional strength whilst maintaining a remarkably low weight. At just 12.5kg without the battery (15.3kg complete), this powered wheelchair can be lifted into car boots, stored in compact spaces, and transported with minimal effort. The frame construction ensures long-term durability without compromising on portability, making it suitable for frequent travel and daily use alike.
Electromagnetic Braking System
Safety is paramount with the Air Pro’s electromagnetic braking system. This advanced braking technology provides smooth, controlled stopping power that activates automatically when the joystick is released. Unlike mechanical brakes that can wear over time, electromagnetic brakes offer consistent performance and reliability. The system ensures the wheelchair remains stationary on inclines up to 9 degrees, providing stability on varied terrain.
Intuitive Dual Control System
The Air Pro incorporates a versatile control system with both user and attendant operation modes. The single-handed joystick control mounted on the armrest provides precise manoeuvrability with speed adjustment and horn functions. Additionally, a remote control system is included, allowing attendants to operate the wheelchair when required. This remote system also enables the chair to be moved away when not in use, adding convenience in tight spaces.
Travel-Ready Folding Design
Designed with travel in mind, the Air Pro folds quickly without tools into a compact package measuring 97cm x 35cm x 72cm. The folding action mirrors that of a manual wheelchair, making it familiar and easy to use. This folding electric wheelchair is approved for air travel, coach journeys, and cruise ships, meeting international airline regulations for powered mobility equipment. The compact folded dimensions fit easily into most car boots, including smaller hatchback vehicles.
Practical Features
The Air Pro is powered by dual 150W brushless motors that deliver smooth, quiet operation with a top speed of 4mph. The 24V 6Ah lithium battery provides a range of up to 6 miles on a single charge, with the option to add a second battery for extended range. Solid puncture-proof tyres on 7-inch front and 10-inch rear wheels ensure reliable performance across smooth surfaces. A padded calf pad offers additional support, whilst the padded backrest and included seat belt provide comfort and security during use.
