Features
Foldable & Separable
All FreedomChair models can be easily folded in just seconds. Additionally, the DE08L has a clever frame design which separates into two manageable sections of no more than 15.5kg, including a battery. Storage space required inside an apartment or cruise ship cabin is minimal.
Latest Battery Tech
Up to 3 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can be fitted giving you x3 the power and range. Each battery has a range of up to 9 miles, so with three batteries, 27 miles may be possible depending on terrain and user weight. Adaptor cable included for off-board charging.
Highly Manouverable
This powered chair will turn on its own axis making it much easier to use than a mobility scooter in restricted areas such as retail spaces and lifts. Steering with the joystick is very intuitive and can be left or right handed.
Electromagnetic Brakes
Electromagnetic brakes automatically hold you on a hill as soon as the joystick is released. Motors can be set to freewheel mode allowing the chair to be manually pushed by an attendant if required.
Raisable Armrests
For side transfers into and out of your seat, we’ve incorporated a handy flip-up function on both armrests. Also very useful for clearing the joystick when drawing up to tables.
Joystick with USB & an LED Light
FreedomChairs have a built-in USB charging port under the joystick so you can top up your smart phone on the move. Particularly handy when using battery intensive navigation apps. Additionally, for your safety, there is a bright LED light that can be turned on to light your path ahead.
On-board Storage
Handy under-seat bag for personal items. Plus a useful seat back storage compartment.
Travel Bag
Durable travel bag provided, free of charge. Protects your chair and the handles allow it to be rolled along in freewheel mode.

Accessories
Attendant Control Kit
With an Attendant Control Kit, your FreedomChair can be steered by a Carer/Attendant walking behind the chair. The thumbstick allows steering in all directions and the kit includes a pair of height-adjustable rear-facing handles for stable control. This kit helps to lengthen the usable life of a FreedomChair should the user become less able to control the chair from the main front joystick.https://player.vimeo.com/video/581715219?h=70cc6ed867&dnt=1&app_id=122963Headrest
A fully adjustable headrest that can be easily attached / removed from the chair.
Cup Holder
A quality, adjustable cup holder. Handy for holding a cup / bottle and keeping one hand free. Fits to the armrest not used by the joystick.
Seat Widening Kits
If the chair you prefer is within your user weight limit, but it feels a little snug between the armrests, a seat widening kit can be easily fitted to give you that bit of extra space. Available in two sizes, the kits can add a total of 60mm (2.5″) or 100mm (4″) between the armrests.
