Lightweight Electric Wheelchair — LiteChair Ultra-Narrow 52cm Folding Power Chair | Australia
The LiteChair Ultra-Narrow, Ultra-Lightweight Electric Wheelchair is designed for people who need a compact, easy-to-use powered wheelchair that fits comfortably through tight spaces while remaining simple to transport and store.
With an overall width of only 52cm and a lightweight design of just 16.75kg with battery, the LiteChair is ideal for small units, apartments, and homes with limited space.
If you are looking for an ultra-lightweight electric wheelchair in Australia that is easy to fold, easy to lift, and designed for narrow access, the LiteChair offers a practical and reliable solution.
Ultra-Narrow 52cm Width – Built for Real Homes
The LiteChair is built with an ultra-narrow overall width of just 52cm, allowing easier movement through doorways, hallways, and compact indoor environments.
This makes it especially suitable for:
- small units and apartments
- homes with narrow doorways
- tight hallways and living areas
- shopping centres and everyday indoor use
Only 52cm wide – fits where many electric wheelchairs cannot.
Will a 52cm Electric Wheelchair Fit Through My Doorway?
Doorway clearance is the most common question for anyone choosing a narrow electric wheelchair. In Australia, accessible residential doorways are generally around 820mm wide, though usable clearance is often less once the door frame and hardware are accounted for.
At just 52cm (520mm) overall width, the LiteChair leaves comfortable clearance through most standard and narrow doorways, hallways and lifts — fitting where many wider powered wheelchairs cannot.
Before ordering, we recommend measuring your narrowest doorway and comparing it to the wheelchair’s overall width. For a full guide to measuring and comparing sizes, see how wide is a wheelchair.
Ultra-Lightweight & Easy to Transport
The LiteChair is an ultra-lightweight electric wheelchair, designed to be easier to lift, transport, and store compared to many traditional power chairs.
Its foldable frame allows it to fit into a car boot and be stored compactly at home, making it practical for everyday use and travel.

Ethan Walker –
Bought this for myself mainly for travel, and it’s been super convenient. The narrow design actually makes a difference in tight spaces like malls and elevators. Folds quickly and fits in the car without hassle. Battery life has been reliable so far.
