Lightweight Carbon Fibre Construction
The carbon fibre frame keeps the wheelchair light while maintaining structural strength, making it easier to lift into a vehicle and handle day to day compared with traditional steel-framed power chairs. This makes the DC013 a strong choice for users and carers who need a lightweight folding electric wheelchair that is manageable to transport.
- Carbon fibre frame — strong yet light
- Maximum user weight: 100kg
- Folding frame for storage and transport
- Suitable for indoor use and smooth outdoor surfaces
Choice of Drive Configurations
Unlike many carbon fibre power chairs that offer only one drive type, the DC013 is available in multiple configurations so it can be matched to how and where you drive:
- Rear-wheel drive (WT-100W) — 406mm drive wheels, stable everyday performance
- Front-wheel drive (WT-100WA) — 406mm drive wheels, improved manoeuvrability in tight spaces
- Larger rear-wheel drive (WT-100WB) — 559mm drive wheels for smoother travel over uneven surfaces
Our team can help you choose the right configuration for your needs and environment.

Purchased this for my father (70), mainly for daily use at home and short trips. The lumbar support makes a noticeable difference—he sits longer without discomfort. Lightweight enough for us to transport easily.
