The Roma Athens Powerchair is a compact, lightweight electric wheelchair designed to deliver everyday independence with practical performance. Built with a durable aluminium frame and powered by twin 250W motors, it offers reliable indoor manoeuvrability and confident outdoor capability — all in a highly portable design.
Weighing just 17.7 kg (excluding battery), with a removable 1.5 kg 24V 10Ah battery, the Athens has a total travel weight of only 19.2 kg. This makes it significantly easier to lift, transport, and store compared to many traditional powerchairs, while still supporting a maximum user weight of 136 kg.
Compact, Practical Design
With overall dimensions of 920 x 560 x 870 mm, the Roma Athens is engineered for tight indoor spaces, narrow doorways, and busy retail environments. A turning radius of under 900 mm ensures smooth, responsive manoeuvring in confined areas.
The seating position is designed for both support and comfort, featuring:
- Seat height: 480 mm
- Seat width: 440 mm
- Seat depth: 400 mm
- Backrest height: 420 mm
- Arm height: 220 mm
This balanced seating geometry promotes upright posture while maintaining a compact footprint.
