Freedom & Support
Two Eezychair Models That Put Carers in Control
When choosing a powered wheelchair or power-add-on for daily life or travel, it’s not just about giving users more freedom. The best mobility solutions also reduce strain, increase safety, and let carers / attendants assist with ease. Eezychair has two standout models that bring both independence and carer-control into sharp focus:
-
Eezychair Ultralight Carbon Power Chair
-
Eezy Lite Lithium Battery Powered Wheelchair
Why Carer Control Matters
Here are some of the key benefits these features bring, especially when a carer or attendant is involved:
-
Reduced Physical Strain: Pushing a manual chair is hard work. With a rear controller or attendant control, the carer can drive the chair hands-off from behind, avoiding push-pressure, awkward posture or risk of strain.
-
Safer Transfers & Manoeuvring: Navigating tight indoor spaces, getting in/out of cars or elevators, or negotiating obstacles is much easier when the carer has full control (speed, direction, braking).
-
User Autonomy with Backup Support: The user can still drive or control where possible, but the carer has a “backup” help mode. That dual control provides flexibility and reassurance.
-
Travel & Storage: Both models fold compactly, so for carers who need to lift or stow the wheelchair, lighter weight plus compact folding reduces the burden. Useful when travelling by car, plane, or using lifts.
Which Model Might Be Best Depending on Needs
Here are some scenarios and which model tends to come out ahead:
| Scenario | Best suited model |
|---|---|
| Frequent travel / flights / public transport / lifting in and out of car boots | Ultralight Carbon — lighter (13 kg), with aviation-safe battery, very compact when folded. |
| Larger user weight, more rugged use, rougher terrain | Ultralight Carbon still supports up to 150 kg. But Eezy Lite is good for lighter loads (up to 120 kg) and more affordable. |
| Need for stronger attendant control, frequent assistance by carer | Both are good; but the Ultralight Carbon’s wireless controller might offer more flexibility at a distance, less tethering. |
| Budget constraints | Eezy Lite is cheaper (though both offer strong value for what they deliver). |
