Portable mobility specialist eFOLDi has announced the launch of the Navigator, its lightest and most advanced folding powered wheelchair to date.
Designed for individuals who seek portability, convenience, and versatility, the Navigator is set to transform the way powerchair users travel and rediscover their independence.
Weighing just over 12kg, excluding battery and optional accessories, the Navigator is set to be one of the lightest folding powered wheelchairs on the market, states eFOLDi. It is ideal for those who are looking to maintain an active lifestyle, and travel simply, and easily, be that by plane, train, bus or cruise ship.
As well as being airline-safe, and exceptionally lightweight, the Navigator folds and unfolds in seconds, requires no complex assembly, and offers end-users enhanced levels of practicality and performance.
Following a period of extensive product development and rigorous testing, the Navigator is expected to set new standards in portable mobility and incorporates a host of new features to deliver impressive levels of performance and versatility.
This includes a high-strength, ultra-lightweight, magnesium-alloy chassis, upgraded attendant controls and rapid-charge, high performance lithium battery technology.
eFOLDi has also ensured that user comfort remains a high priority, with the inclusion of a new breathable seat cushion, for additional support, and a generous seating area to accommodate a broader range of users.
A new electro-magnetic braking system and ergonomic joystick solution also promises superior levels of safety and manoeuvrability for end-users.

Offering impressive levels of performance, without compromising on strength, comfort, or practicality, the Navigator leverages state-of-the-art technology to help individuals regain their freedom and independence.
Sumi Wang, CEO at eFOLDi, commented, “Everyone deserves the freedom to travel without limitations. Our mission is to empower individuals with innovative mobility solutions that make travel more accessible. The Navigator powerchair is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation and user empowerment.
“We invested a significant amount of time and resource into the R&D for the Navigator, and this has required close collaboration with user groups, trade customers, and supply-chain partners – both in the UK and overseas.
“Along with a meticulous focus on the design and manufacturing processes, the product has undergone rigorous testing to ensure we maintain the highest standards in reliability and quality assurance. As such, we remain confident, the Navigator will deliver best-in-class performance and help revolutionise travel for those with mobility impairments.”
