Max Weight
The Explorer Travel is an ultra-lightweight folding wheelchair from Icon Rehab, weighing just 11.8kg, with a magnesium alloy frame, suitable for users who weigh up to 120kg. It folds completely with removable rear wheels and fits into the included transport bag. At just 11.8kg, it is one of the lightest folding wheelchairs available to buy in Dubai right now.
Explorer Travel Lightweight Wheelchair
Most lightweight travel wheelchairs compromise on frame strength or braking. The Explorer Travel does neither.
- 11.8kg magnesium alloy frame. Magnesium is stronger and lighter than aluminium; this is one of the lightest foldable wheelchairs available in the UAE without moving to a carbon fibre model and price point
- The ultra-folding system with removable rear wheels folds compactly; the rear wheels remove in seconds. The backrest also folds down so it stores flat in a bag, under a hotel bed, in an apartment wardrobe, in car boots, in taxi luggage space and in overhead compartments that standard folding wheelchairs cannot achieve.
- Double brake design, with a main wheel brake for the user and rear push-handle brake for an attendant working independently, two separate stopping systems provide greater safety on slopes and during transfers.
- Anti-tipping wheels prevent rear tipping on slopes and during transfers; standard fit on all units
Folds Small Enough to Carry in a Bag
At a folded size of 75 × 34 × 71 cm with rear wheels removed, the Explorer Travel fits where most folding wheelchairs do not.
- Fits in standard Dubai taxi boots and most compact car boots without folding the seats.
- It can store under most hotel room beds or in a wardrobe without occupying valuable floor space.
- Compact enough for hallway cupboards in UAE apartments
- Carry it the provided travel bag with the rear wheels removed; it can be carried as cabin luggage on most airlines
Comfort Features for All-Day
The Explorer Travel is not a stripped-down, ultralight frame. Every comfort feature is included.
- High-strength Oxford fabric seat cushion is firm, breathable, and durable for extended daily use.
- Adjustable orthopaedic footrest positions your legs correctly for long journeys and folds away completely when not in use.
- Curved seat base aids posture, ensures you stay against the backrest without effort and is much more comfortable for long days.
- Flip-up armrests lift completely out of the transfer path, making side transfers from your bed, car, or sofa easier.
- Comfortable wheel-push rims with a soft grip surface protect your arms from the tyre during self-propulsion and reduce strain on long-distance rides.
- A padded seat made of waterproof material protects against spills and Dubai’s occasional coastal humidity.

FAQS
How much does the Explorer Travel wheelchair weigh?
The Explorer weighs just 11.8kg, making it one of the lightest folding wheelchairs available to buy in Dubai. The magnesium alloy frame achieves this weight without reducing the 120kg user weight capacity. With the rear wheels removed, most people can lift it unaided into a car boot or take it with them as airline cabin luggage.
What are the folded dimensions of the Explorer Travel?
75 × 34 × 71 cm with rear wheels removed. This is compact enough to fit in most standard car boots, under hotel beds and in apartment wardrobes. The foldable backrest reduces height further for the most space-restricted storage situations.
Can I take the Explorer Travel on a plane?
It is designed as a travel wheelchair, weighing just 11.8kg, with compact folded dimensions and removable rear wheels. Most airlines will accept it as gate-check or cabin luggage. Confirm your specific airline’s wheelchair and cabin luggage size policy before travel. Dubai Mobility can advise based on your route.
What is the maximum user weight?
The magnesium alloy frame can support users weighing up to 120kg. The strong symmetrical cross brace and powder-coated frame maintain structural integrity at full capacity.
Does the Explorer Travel have armrests?
Yes, flip-up armrests that lift completely clear of the transfer path. This is important for users who transfer independently from a bed, a car seat, or a sofa. The armrests lock securely in the down position during use.
What braking system does the Explorer Travel use?
The Explorer has a double brake system: a wheel brake for the user and a separate rear handbrake operated by an attendant or carer, working independently. These braking systems provide greater security on slopes and during parking compared to having a single-brake system. Both brakes are controlled via long levers for easy operation.
Is the Explorer Travel suitable for self-propulsion?
Yes. The 20-inch rear wheels and golden push rims are sized and positioned for self-propulsion. The push rims protect your hands from tyre contact during extended propulsion. For users who are primarily attendant-pushed, the rear handbrake lets the attendant safely control the descent speed on slopes.
Can I try the Explorer Travel before buying?
Yes, you can book a free home demo and our team will bring the wheelchair to your address in Dubai at no cost. Or you can visit our large showroom in Central Dubai for an in-person test. There is no obligation either way.
What is the seat width of the Explorer Travel?
The Explorer Travel wheelchair has a 47 cm seat width (18.5”), 41 cm seat depth (16”) and 40 cm (15.75”) seat height. If you are unsure whether this fits your body dimensions, book a free home demo and our team will assess, measure and confirm the correct fit before any purchase.
What is the price of the Explorer Travel in Dubai?
You can currently take advantage of 30% OFF the Explorer Travel’s normal price of 2500 AED. Contact Dubai Mobility for the current AED price and to confirm flexible payment options before purchase.
