Forcemech Carbon F1
The Carbon F1 is Forcemech's second generation folding power chair on a full carbon fiber frame. It weighs 33 lbs. without the battery and 35 lbs. with it, folds to 28" x 24" x 13", and turns in a 24" radius. Two 200W motors run it up to 4 mph and up to 10 miles on one 24V 10Ah lithium battery.
A full carbon fiber frame at 33 lbs. without the battery
A folding travel power chair that folds to 28" x 24" x 13", runs up to 10 miles at up to 4 mph on a 2 lbs. lithium battery, and carries up to 300 lbs.
Built for real life
What stands out
33 lbs. without the battery
The frame is carbon fiber from end to end, so the chair you lift into the car weighs 33 lbs. and the battery 2 lbs.
Folds in one motion
Pull the backrest and seat together and the chair closes to 28" x 24" x 13". Pull them apart to open it.
Swap the battery
The 24V 10Ah lithium battery lifts off with one button and charges on or off the chair, up to 10 miles per charge.
Turns in 24"
A 24" turning radius and 24" overall width suit hallways, elevators and store aisles.
The Carbon F1 is built for people who lift their own chair. The whole frame is carbon fiber, so the chair weighs 33 lbs. without its battery and the heaviest part you handle is the chair itself. It folds by pulling the backrest and seat together, and it closes to 28" x 24" x 13", a size that fits most car trunks. Two 200W rear motors drive it up to 4 mph, and one 24V 10Ah lithium battery gives up to 10 miles. The battery weighs 2 lbs., lifts off with one button, and charges on or off the chair, so a charged spare is easy to carry. The seat is 20" wide between the arms and 17" deep, the armrests flip up for side transfers, and the 24" turning radius suits apartments and store aisles. It is a travel chair for indoor floors and paved paths, with 2" of ground clearance and a 1" obstacle limit, so it is the wrong pick for grass and gravel.

Pick another power wheelchair in the same category and see a clear, side by side look at the specs that matter. Every figure on both sides is published by the manufacturer.
Select one.What does this mean?
The color is the frame accent. Both colors cost the same and drive the same, so choose the one you prefer.
Optional. Tap any add-on to include it in your order.What does this mean?
These are extras that fit onto the power wheelchair, and every one of them is optional. Adding them here means they arrive with it rather than as a separate order later.
Read each card before you add two of them. Some accessories mount in the same place, so only one of those can be fitted at a time.
Included.What does this mean?
This section is how your order reaches you and how far into your home it comes.
Curbside is the free option. The power wheelchair ships from the manufacturer straight to your address. Allow about two to three days for the order to be processed and shipped, then about five more in transit depending on where you live. No carrier in this trade quotes an exact date, so treat both figures as estimates rather than promises. It arrives boxed at the curb, and getting it inside is yours to arrange.
This one comes in a single box and the setup is not hard. The box goes through a normal doorway and most people manage it on their own. The free option is a fair choice here.

There is nothing to buy here. The full terms are in the Warranty tab further up this page.
