Pulse Carbon Fiber Autofold Wheelchair: Smartride-1 & Smartride-2
For frequent travellers, a wheelchair's weight and fold speed can determine whether a trip is manageable or exhausting. Smartride is built around exactly that constraint — carbon fiber construction and fast, simple folding for car boots and flights.
What is the Pulse Smartride wheelchair? The Pulse Smartride-1 and Smartride-2 are carbon-fiber autofold electric wheelchairs built for easy transport and storage. Smartride-1 weighs just 26 kg with a 24V 10Ah battery for a 15–20 km range, while Smartride-2 adds a one-touch fold mechanism and travel-friendly compact design.
Who Needs the Smartride
Smartride suits users who:
- Travel frequently by car or air and need genuinely quick, simple folding
- Prioritise minimum weight above all other factors, including load capacity and maximum range
- Want a wheelchair that fits into a car boot or aircraft hold without hassle
- Are comfortable with a lighter-duty chair in exchange for maximum portability
How the Smartride Fits Your Routine
Smartride-1's carbon fiber frame brings total weight down to just 26 kg, folding compactly for storage in a car boot or checking in for a flight, powered by a 24V 10Ah battery for 15–20 km of range per charge. Smartride-2 goes further with a one-touch fold mechanism — a single action collapses the chair rather than a multi-step fold process — paired with an intelligent joystick controller for driving.
Why Choose Smartride Over Other Lightweight Models
Pulse's Joylite range is also lightweight and foldable, but Smartride goes further specifically on transport speed and minimum weight through its carbon fiber construction and (on Smartride-2) one-touch folding. If your priority is genuinely fast folding for frequent trips rather than everyday indoor use, Smartride is the more specialised choice.
