Permobil M1 Power Wheelchair
Overview:
The Permobil M1 Power Wheelchair is a robust mid-wheel drive base designed to support traditional rehab seating and positioning needs. It offers flexibility for therapists and durability for active daily use, without requiring powered seating functions.
Description
The Permobil M1 Power Wheelchair is designed for individuals who need customisable seating without powered seat adjustments. Its open-frame design features a tubular backrest mount that accommodates a wide range of positioning solutions – from off-the-shelf curved backs to complex custom-moulded seating systems.
The frame preserves seat depth across different configurations, supporting individualised fit without compromising adjustability. Swing-away and centre-mount legrest options are available to meet clinical and access needs, while locking flip-back armrests provide secure support with two points of contact.
The M1 shares its drive unit technology with Permobil’s M3 and F3 models, offering proven mid-wheel drive performance. Its stable chassis design and linear spring system deliver consistent ride quality. The FlexLink™ suspension geometry reduces vibration and improves ride comfort on varied terrain, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
