Your Next Travel Essential? Why Aussies Love Lightweight Electric Wheelchairs

  • Written by Modern Australian


Planning for a trip or just getting around town? A lightweight electric wheelchair could be your perfect travel mate. Whether it’s a stroll through the local park or a road trip along the coast, more Aussies are choosing these smart, portable wheelchairs for their freedom and ease.

With user-friendly features and clever design, especially in carbon fibre models, lightweight electric wheelchairs are becoming a top pick for mobility support across Australia.

Introduction- CWU Carbon Fibre Wheelchair- Only 11.5 kg

Why They're Lightweight

Old-school electric wheelchairs were bulky and hard to move. Today’s lightweight models, especially those made with carbon fibre, are changing that. They're easy to fold, simple to pack, and just as handy at your local café as they are in the bush.

These compact chairs glide smoothly and look sleek too. Whether it’s running errands or going on holiday, they fit right into an active lifestyle. Many are also approved for air travel, making flying a breeze.

The Carbon Fibre Edge

The Carbon Fibre Wheelchair is light but super strong. That’s why it’s a game-changer for powered wheelchairs. It makes the chair easier to handle without giving up on strength or support.

For Australians who value both practicality and design, carbon fibre wheelchairs offer the best of both worlds, reliable performance and a modern look.

Help with NDIS Funding and Other Support

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can help cover the cost of powered mobility options, including lightweight electric wheelchairs. Want to know if you’re eligible? We’ve got handy links to state-based funding programs and expert support to guide you.

Assistive Tech Hub also offers advice to help you choose the right model for your needs and budget.

Ready to Travel

Heading off on an adventure? Many of these chairs fold down to fit easily in the car or even on a plane. With long battery life, you’ll have no trouble exploring Australia’s stunning landmarks, from the Great Barrier Reef to the streets of Melbourne.
