Reliable Explorer Standard Everyday Wheelchair
This is a straightforward, well-built manual wheelchair with no unnecessary complexity, no compromises on the features that matter for daily use.
- Strong 22mm chrome steel frame, 1.2mm wall thickness, electroplated for corrosion resistance; built for daily use without frame fatigue; it can support users up to 120kg
- Double cross-brace design: dual crossbars strengthen the frame laterally, prevent farme movement and keeps the folded profile compact at 28.5cm wide.
- The wheelchair folds from both sides; the frame collapses left-to-right and right-to-left; making it accessible for caregivers lifting from either side.
- The foldable backrest, half-folded, reduces its folded height further; it can store flat under a bed or in a car boot or even in a cupboard.
- An electroplated corrosion-resistant finish protects the steel frame in Dubai’s coastal humidity and outdoor conditions.
Foldable Wheelchair
At 28.5cm folded width, the Explorer Standard fits in places most standard wheelchairs cannot.
- Car boots: 28.5cm folded width fit in standard sedan car boots and most compact SUVs without adjusting the seats.
- Dubai taxi’s: Its narrow, folded profile fits into the taxi’s luggage space without requiring a large vehicle.
- Home storage: The Wheelchair stores in hallway cupboards, beside a sofa, or under a bed; foldable backrest reduces height further
- No tools required, folds in seconds; a one-handed fold is possible for most caregivers

Every component of the Explorer Standard is configured for all-day comfort.
- Breathable reinforced seat cushion, firm Oxford-style fabric; breathable for extended use in Dubai’s warm indoor environments
- Padded flip-up armrests with side panels that flip up completely, clear of the transfer path; side panels prevent arm contact with the rear wheels during self-propulsion as well as protecting from dust and dirt.
- Detachable footrests: remove completely for compact storage or close-approach transfers; footrests swing away for side transfers.
- Optional elevating footrests available for users who need leg elevation due to medical conditions; confirm availability at point of purchase

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Explorer Standard wheelchair cost in Dubai?
The Explorer Standard Wheelchair is currently on offer at AED 1,530 – reduced from AED 1,800. Free UAE delivery is included. Flexible installment payment options are available. Contact Dubai Mobility on +971 4 898 0300 to confirm current pricing and payment plans.
How heavy is the Explorer Standard wheelchair?
The Standard weighs just 16.2kg. This makes it manageable for most caregivers to lift into a standard car boot or taxi without a ramp. The double-sided fold means the caregiver can collapse and lift the chair from whichever side of the vehicle is accessible.
What is the folded width of the Explorer Standard?
The 28.5cm folded width is narrow enough to fit in the standard sedan car boot, taxi luggage space, and apartment hallway storage. The foldable backrest reduces the folded height further for the most space-restricted situations.
What is the seat width of the Explorer Standard?
43cm seat width. If you are unsure whether this is the correct width for the user, book a free home demo & assessment and our team will confirm the correct fit before any purchase. The overall service width of the wheelchair is 60cm.
Can the Explorer Standard be self-propelled?
Yes. The 24” rear wheels with push rims and 36 aluminium spokes are sized for self-propulsion. The flip-up side panel & armrests prevent arm contact with the wheels during propulsion and reduce dust and dirt ingress. For users who are primarily caregiver-pushed, the extended brake handles allow safe descent control on slopes.
What brake system does the Explorer Standard use?
The frame-mounted rear wheel brakes with extended handles are operable with limited hand strength & movement. The extended handles mean the caregiver can also apply the brakes from behind without having to lean over the occupant. Rear brakes lock both main wheels securely for parking and transfers.
Is the Explorer Standard suitable for outdoor use in Dubai?
Yes. The 8” front wheels handle smooth indoor and outdoor surfaces, and the rear tipping pedal allows the caregiver to negotiate kerb cuts and raised pavements common across Dubai streets and mall entrances, by applying downward force to lift the front of the chair up over any obstacle. The electroplated steel frame resists corrosion from Dubai’s coastal humidity.
Can I try the Explorer Standard before buying?
Yes. Book a free home demo. Dubai Mobility brings the wheelchair to your home or hotel anywhere in Dubai at no cost and with no obligation. Alternatively, visit our large showroom in Central Dubai for an in-person test.
Does the Explorer Standard come with a safety belt?
Yes. A safety belt is included as standard, not an optional extra. An extra-wide removable calf strap is also included, providing additional leg security during transport and use.
Are elevating footrests available for the Explorer Standard?
Yes, as an optional upgrade. Elevating footrests are suitable for users who require leg elevation due to post-surgical recovery, swelling, or circulatory conditions. Contact Dubai Mobility to confirm availability and current pricing for this option.
