Permobil M5 Corpus Power Wheelchair
Overview:
The Permobil M5 Corpus Power Wheelchair is a high-performance mid-wheel drive wheelchair offering responsive handling, customisable seating and full suspension for daily use in varied environments. Built for comfort, reach and visibility, it empowers movement across more terrain.
Description
The Permobil M5 Corpus Power Wheelchair is designed to support movement and independence. With powerful motors and a top speed of 10 km/h, the M5 provides excellent low-end torque and agility, helping individuals pivot and manoeuvre confidently.
Its FlexLink Pro suspension combines independent drive wheel support, swing-arm geometry and shock absorption for a stable, smooth ride. Even with up to 35.6 cm (14”) of seat elevation, the M5 maintains full suspension and base stability.
The ergonomic seating system enhances comfort and positioning with dual-density foam cushions and a redesigned pelvic well insert to support pressure redistribution. The Stretch-Air cover is breathable and moisture-resistant, helping maintain hygiene and seating integrity.
Permobil’s ActiveReach and ActiveHeight functions work together to optimise reach, access and participation in daily tasks. With up to 20° forward tilt and 35.6 cm (14”) of elevation, individuals can engage with their environment more easily. While elevated, drive speeds of up to 5.1 km/h are supported.
The Permobil battery and VoltPro charger extend driving distance by up to 25% while reducing charging time. MyPermobil connectivity enables real-time updates on seat function usage, driving range and travel data, supporting informed decision-making by therapists and care teams.
