After a serious childhood accident, Richard and his family wanted to find a powerchair that would suit his environment, daily routines and, of course, his personality.
With a powered wheelchair, there is no one size fits all chair. That’s why customisation sits at the heart of the Series 5, allowing the chair to be configured around your needs, preferences, and way of life.
Beyond being a vital tool for your autonomy and disability needs, your powerchair can act as a piece of personal expression – however bold or understated that might mean for you.
Having a chair that matches your style, as well as your lifestyle, is an essential part of living life on your own terms.
We offer six standard colours for the Series 5 powerchair, included at no additional charge.
Want a custom colour or finish? If you can dream it, we can make it possible
Over the years, we’ve created truly one-of-a-kind powered wheelchairs, from tractor inspired designs to intricate hydro dipped panels. Every custom finish is completed with the same care and attention, resulting in a chair that is as individual as the person using it.
Need a different control setup than our standard option? We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
From attendant control to foot-driving setups and custom joysticks, we’ve configured the Series 5 to work for a wide range of requirements, making it viable for many different users and driving styles.
We offer a wide range of seating options to suit you, with multiple sizes, materials, and styles available.
We also work closely with Libella to provide an advanced pressure-relief cushion, using innovative seating technology to help reduce the risk of pressure sores and support all-day comfort.
Seating is highly individual, so we take a flexible approach. If you have specific requirements or a preferred seat you’d like to use, we’ll work with you to make it possible.
Our team often work on custom requests for Series 5 users – whether that’s to support specific medical needs, improve day-to-day independence, or simply add a personal touch.
Many custom requests have made their way to our standard order form – ideas which come directly from real users, making the Series 5 more adaptable, practical, and personal.

Powerchairs and mobility scooters are very different products and it’s important that you choose the right option for your needs. A powerchair gives you much more comfort and support, particularly if you have complex postural needs, and is the better choice if you need a product for frequent use. Powerchairs also have a much smaller turning circle which means they can be used indoors and outdoors as they have far better manoeuvrability.
Yes, you can definitely travel with a powerchair! Our founder, Alex has travelled to over 70 countries with his Series 5, which has influenced a lot of the features and design of the chair. There are extra steps you need to take when travelling with a powerchair, like providing information to the airline. Check out Alex’s ultimate guide to travelling by air with a powered wheelchair here (link to air travel guide).
The Series 5 powered wheelchair has been created with just one thing in mind – freedom. Because unlike most other powerchairs on the market, the Series 5 design team is led by a powerchair user who understands your frustrations.
