Folding Electric Wheelchair Rental Istanbul

A folding electric wheelchair rental in Istanbul combines the freedom of a powered chair with the convenience of a folding one. Lithium batteries keep the weight low, the frame folds in seconds to fit in a taxi boot, and the joystick lets the user drive without being pushed. We deliver the chair fully charged to your hotel or home and collect it when you leave.

Why lithium and why folding?

Older electric wheelchairs use heavy lead-acid batteries and rigid frames that need a special vehicle. Our folding lithium models are designed for travel:

• a total weight of about 26–30 kg with the battery;
• a fold of a few seconds, and on auto-folding models at the touch of a button;
• a range of about 15–25 km per charge;
• a top speed of about 6–8 km/h and an automatic brake when you release the joystick;
• a user weight limit of about 120–135 kg, depending on the model.

Models you can rent

• The foldable electric wheelchair with lithium battery: a light, reliable all-rounder.
• The long-range auto-folding lithium wheelchair: folds itself with a remote, ideal for travellers without a strong companion.
• The long-range foldable lithium wheelchair: extra battery capacity for long days.
• The large folding lithium wheelchair: a wider seat for taller and heavier users.
• The Easylife and DY01101 foldable electric wheelchairs: sturdier full-size chairs of about 45 kg, best when you will mostly drive from your hotel or home.

Is a folding electric wheelchair rental in Istanbul right for you?

Choose a folding electric wheelchair if you want to explore independently, if your companion cannot push a manual chair up Istanbul’s slopes, or if you plan to combine driving with taxis, trams and ferries. It is also a good choice for cruise passengers who want to see as much as possible on a short port day.

If the user needs more seat width, back support or stability for a full day in the chair, compare with our standard electric wheelchairs. For short trips with a companion pushing, a lightweight manual wheelchair may be enough.

Driving tips for Istanbul

Start on flat ground such as the Sultanahmet squares or the Galataport promenade until you are used to the joystick. Drive straight up and down slopes rather than across them, slow down on cobblestones, and fold the chair for taxis on steep streets. If you have any problem, call or message us and we will help straight away. Questions? Contact our team.

Folding it in five steps

1. Switch the chair off and remove the joystick key if the model has one.
2. Lift the footplates and take off the cushion.
3. Release the folding lever under the seat or press the fold button on auto-folding models.
4. Push the two sides together until the frame locks in its folded position.
5. Lift it by the frame, not the joystick or armrests, ideally with two people.

Unfold in the reverse order and check that the frame has clicked into place before anyone sits down. Our team practises these steps with you when we deliver your folding electric wheelchair rental in Istanbul.
