Robooter Power Wheelchairs: Frequently Asked Questions
Since their launch earlier this year, Robooter Powerchairs have quickly become one of the most sought-after electric wheelchairs on the market. Combining a futuristic, lightweight design with intelligent technology and outstanding performance, the Robooter Powerchair has proven to be a firm favourite for those seeking comfort, convenience, and independence.
With its folding frame for easy transportation and intuitive joystick controls, this innovative powerchair ticks all the boxes for both everyday use and travel-friendly mobility.
To help you learn more, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about Robooter Powerchairs – from key features to battery performance – to help you decide if it's the right choice for your mobility needs.
1. How are Robooter power wheelchairs controlled?
Robooter power wheelchairs are operated using a joystick, which can be positioned on either the left or right-hand side to suit the user’s preference. Additionally, all models are compatible with the Robooter app and optional Bluetooth remote control, allowing users to drive the chair remotely.
2. Are Robooter wheelchairs foldable?
Yes, all Robooter powerchairs come with a foldable frame. The Robooter X40 features an automatic folding mechanism, while the The Robooter E40 and The Robooter E60 models offer manual folding systems. We always advise that should you be looking to fold and lift these in to your car boot that you make sure someone strong can safely do so.
3. Can Robooter powerchairs be taken on flights?
Robooter powerchairs are suitable for air travel. However, some airlines may require the optional 12Ah lithium battery instead of the standard 20Ah battery. Protective transport storage bags are also available to safeguard the chair during travel. For example, you will see that the Robooter E60 Pro comes with a 20Ah battery as standard that isn't airline compliant, and thus customers who wish to travel by plane can purchase an additional airline compliant Robooter Battery.
4. What makes Robooter powerchairs reliable?
Robooter power wheelchairs have been available in the UK market for approximately nine months (as of January 2025) and have demonstrated consistent reliability. All models have undergone rigorous testing and have proven to perform well in various environments. They all come also with a 2 year warranty, which shows the manufacturers confidence in the quality of their product.
5. What are the key differences between Robooter models?
The Robooter range offers three models, each designed for different needs:
Robooter X40: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, automatic folding, and omnidirectional front wheels.
Robooter E40: Primarily for indoor use with limited outdoor capability, manual folding, and caster front wheels.
Robooter E60/E60 Pro: Ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments, manual folding, and omnidirectional front wheels.
6. How do Robooter’s omnidirectional wheels function?
Robooter’s omnidirectional wheels consist of small rollers that allow movement in multiple directions. This innovative design enhances manoeuvrability in confined spaces and enables the wheelchair to climb small steps and navigate various terrains with ease.
7. Is there a Robooter app?
Yes, the Robooter app is compatible with all models. The app allows users to adjust driving settings, activate remote control features, and enable cruise control mode.
8. How should I maintain the Robooter’s battery?
Robooter power wheelchairs are powered by lithium batteries, typically lasting around 1,000 charge/discharge cycles. To maximise battery life, avoid fully draining the battery and aim to keep the charge above 20%. When not in use, store the battery fully charged and unplug the charger after each charge.
9. What assembly is required?
If purchased from our showroom or delivered by our in-house team, the Robooter will arrive fully assembled and ready to use. Online orders are delivered in a box, requiring basic setup such as unfolding the chair, charging and fitting the battery, and attaching any accessories.
