Pros of the Robooter E80 compared to the Pride Jazzy Carbon Ultra Lite

Storage Space: With a large under-seat storage basket and detachable backpack, the Robooter E80 comes with a massive storage capacity for carrying personal belongings, shopping etc.
Better Performance: The combination of bigger wheels, longer range and higher IP rating give the Robooter E80 the edge in performance, particularly in outdoor environments.
Flip-up Armrests: This is a standard feature on the Robooter, whereas it’s an optional extra on the Joyrider.
Ergonomic Seating: The 106-degree seat back and 4-degree recline on the Robooter E80 create a bionic curve for enhanced comfort and support.

What is the Joyrider powerchair?

The Joyrider is an indoor/outdoor powerchair with a folding and splittable aluminium fibre frame and lithium battery. It is made in Taiwan.

Price: £2250.00 ex VAT

Pros of the Joyrider compared to the Robooter E80

Transport weight: with the ability to split the frame of the Joyrider once it’s folded, it’s almost impossible to beat the transport weight of the Joyrider, with the heaviest section weighing just 8.6kg.
Cheaper: The Joyrider is around £1300 cheaper than the Robooter E80.
Detachable Joystick: If you’re worried about protecting your powerchair’s joystick controller during transport, the Joyrider comes with an quickly detachable joystick thanks to a splittable cable. The Robooter E80 controller can be removed, but it takes more time.
Lighter Battery: If you need to take the battery off the powerchair and carry it with you, the Joyrider’s is around half the weight of the Robooter E80’s battery, which makes it much more portable.
Swinging Footrest: This front-on transfers on and off the Joyrider much easier. The Robooter E80 has a handy fold up footrest, but it’s not quite as user-friendly as the swinging footrest on the Joyrider.
