Feather Power Chair -- Ultra-Lightweight Folding Power Wheelchair - 250lb Capacity
The lightest power wheelchair available. 33 lbs total. Folds in seconds. Airline approved. Battery and charger included.
The Feather Power Chair weighs 33 pounds. That is not a typo. Most power wheelchairs weigh 150 to 300+ pounds and require freight delivery, a vehicle lift, or disassembly into multiple pieces just to transport. The Feather folds into a single piece in seconds and fits in the trunk of a sedan.
It folds down to just 13 inches wide and 28 inches tall -- small enough for a car trunk, a coat closet, or an airplane. The removable lithium-ion battery is airline approved, weighs just 2 pounds, and delivers up to 11 miles of range on a single charge. Top speed is 4 mph.
This is built for people up to 250 lbs who need portable, lightweight powered mobility for travel, appointments, outings, and daily errands. Battery, charger, seat and back cushions, swingaway footrests, anti-tippers, and seatbelt all included.

How Does it Fold?
Most power wheelchairs need to be taken apart into multiple heavy pieces before you can put them in a car. The Feather folds into one piece in seconds:
- Fold the backrest down flat
- Collapse the seat upward from the middle
- Done -- the entire chair is now 13 inches wide, 28 inches tall, and 29 inches deep
To unfold, reverse the process. No tools. No disassembly. No loose parts to keep track of.
At 33 lbs folded, most people can lift it into a car trunk, an overhead closet, or hand it to a flight attendant. Two yellow levers near the rear wheels put the chair in freewheel mode so a caregiver can push it like a manual wheelchair when needed.
Who is this For?
This chair is built for you if:
- You weigh up to 250 lbs and need a power wheelchair you can take with you
- You travel frequently and need something airline approved
- You want to put it in your car trunk without a vehicle lift or ramp
- You need powered mobility for appointments, shopping, outings, and errands
- You want the simplest possible purchase -- everything included, ships fast via ground
This may not be the right fit if:
- You weigh over 250 lbs (see our Vision Sport with Lift at 300 lbs, Vision Super at 400 lbs, or Atlantis at 600 lbs)
- You need a primary everyday wheelchair for all-day indoor use (this is designed for portability, not 8+ hours of daily seating)
- You need a seat lift to reach counters and tables (see our Vision Sport or Vision Super with Lift)
- You need heavy-duty outdoor capability on rough terrain (see our Silverado Extreme scooter)
- You need extended range beyond 11 miles per charge

FAQ
How much does it actually weigh? 33 lbs total with the battery installed. The battery itself weighs about 2 lbs and is removable. Without the battery, the chair weighs approximately 31 lbs.
Can I take it on an airplane? Yes. The removable lithium-ion battery is airline approved. Always check with your specific airline before traveling, as individual airline policies may vary. You will typically need to remove the battery and carry it in the cabin.
How far does it go on one charge? Up to 11 miles under optimal conditions. Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, speed, and temperature. If you travel frequently, consider adding a spare battery ($250) so you always have a backup.
Is it comfortable for all-day use? The Feather has 1 inch seat and back cushions and padded flip-back armrests. It is comfortable for outings, appointments, and errands. For all-day primary seating (8+ hours daily), a larger power wheelchair with thicker cushioning and more postural support would be more appropriate.
What is the weight limit? 250 lbs. This is a firm limit -- the lightweight frame is engineered for portability, not heavy-duty use.
Can someone push it like a manual wheelchair? Yes. Two yellow levers near the rear wheels put the motors in freewheel mode, allowing a caregiver to push it manually.
Does the joystick come on the right or left side? Right side is standard (FCP18-BK). Left side is available (FCP18-BK-L). Let us know your preference when ordering.

"I've been in a regular wheelchair for 6 years and this power chair changed everything. The joystick is so smooth and easy. I can go from room to room, outside, everywhere without asking my wife for help. Worth every single penny."
"After my stroke I lost strength in both legs. This chair has a power seat lift which helps me stand up safely without pulling on anyone. My physical therapist actually recommended this exact model. I feel human again."
"I weigh 340 lbs and finding a chair that fits me comfortably was nearly impossible. This one holds 400 lbs and the seat is wide and cushioned perfectly. Battery lasts all day. I use it everywhere — home, stores, outdoors."
"My daughter bought this for me after my second knee surgery. The delivery team set it all up and showed me every single button. I was driving it around the house the same day. My grandchildren love riding beside me on their bikes."
"The joystick control is incredible — so sensitive and responsive. I can turn in tight spaces, go through doorways easily, even navigate crowded stores. The power seat lift is a game changer for getting in and out safely."
"I have MS and my hands are weak. I was worried I couldn't operate a joystick but it is so light to touch. Barely any pressure needed. I drove it perfectly on my first try. This chair gave me back my independence completely."
"Bought the red color version and it looks fantastic. People compliment me on it everywhere I go. But more importantly it performs beautifully outdoors — rough pavement, ramps, small curbs, handles everything smoothly."
"My husband has Parkinson's and was falling constantly trying to walk. This chair stopped all of that. He uses it all day safely. The high back seat supports his posture perfectly. Our family feels so much safer now."
"The battery on this chair is incredible. I used it all day at a family outdoor event — probably 6 hours of constant use — and still had battery left at the end. Never once worried about running out. Absolutely reliable."
"I cried when this arrived. I haven't been able to go to church for 2 years because of my mobility. Last Sunday I drove myself in this chair and sat with my family. My pastor stopped the whole service to welcome me back. God bless this company."
