Product 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.
Who it’s for
- For clients who require a powered base with traditional rehab style seating, configured for custom support.
- For therapists wanting a reliable, flexible base to match modular or moulded seating systems.
