The Royale Air Carbon Fibre Heavy Duty Powerchair is designed for those who need a higher-capacity powered mobility solution that remains portable. Its carbon fibre frame delivers strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight design.
With a 53 cm seat width and a 180 kg safe working load, the Heavy Duty model provides comfortable powered mobility for individuals who need additional space and support.
The X-fold frame allows the powerchair to fold quickly into a compact size, while the half-folding backrest further reduces storage and transport space. This makes the Royale Air well-suited to car travel, public transport and storage in smaller homes or apartments.
Swing-up armrests support safer sideways transfers, while flip-up footplates and removable legrests reduce obstruction during entry and exit. Anti-tip wheels and a built-in seatbelt provide added stability and reassurance during everyday use.
The lightweight lithium-ion battery is removable for off-board charging and delivers up to 12 km of travel on a full charge, with an optional battery pack to extend travel range. Intuitive joystick control supports smooth handling indoors and outdoors, including in tighter spaces.
By combining bariatric support with a lightweight, foldable design, the Royale Air offers greater accessibility without compromising portability.

- For clients who need a lightweight, foldable powerchair with a wider seat and higher weight capacity for everyday mobility and travel.
