What’s new? The Fold-Forward Backrest

While Magic Mobility users trust their powerchairs to take them anywhere, it’s important that they can also easily take their powerchairs with them too, whether it’s in the car or on a plane.

Our engineers have created the fold-forward backrest, a solution which reduces the height of your wheelchair, making it more compact to fit in more spaces like a small SUV or plane cargo hold.

The fold-forward functionality can greatly reduce the size of your wheelchair, particularly when combined with a removable backrest and seat cushion.

For the Magic 360, Frontier V4 and Frontier V6, the height comes down to around 620mm (24.5”), approximately 650mm (25.5”) on the Extreme X8 and approximately 660mm (26″) for the XT2 and XT4.

This can be particularly useful for travelling if your powerchair doesn’t have a docking pin, or in a car that doesn’t have a compatible docking station.
