Technology has played a pivotal role in offering robust, cutting-edge mobility solutions for the modern era, transforming countless lives in the process. Thanks to the pioneering, innovative designs of eFOLDi, many disabled people and those with mobility impairments now enjoy greater levels of freedom and independence.
The world of eFOLDi®
eFOLDi are renowned industry-leading experts in the design of award-winning lightweight, compact, portable mobility solutions.
In 2012, Jianmin Wang, the father of eFOLDi CEO Sumi, suffered a severe leg injury from a stage fall. During his recovery, he was surprised by the lack of lightweight, compact, and portable mobility scooters on the market. Seeing an opportunity, he designed one himself, ensuring it maintained his freedom and independence.
In 2016, Sumi Wang joined her father Jianmin Wang and officially founded the company. The business quickly gained industry attention, winning the British Invention of the Year Award the same year. Sir Richard Branson, impressed by the ‘folding magic’ of the eFOLDi designs then provided seed funding. The first MK1.0 model was launched in 2017, followed by the Power Chair MK1.5 in 2018 and the innovative eFOLDi Lite in 2020.

The eFOLDi Explorer
This multi-award-winning portable mobility scooter is lightweight, due to its aluminium alloy properties. The UK road-legal Explorer can travel up to speeds of 8mph, with an extensive range of 14 miles with excellent ground clearance and able to cope with multiple terrains. It comes complete with battery and charger. If you’re planning a day out, the Explorer simply folds up for public transport or it pops easily in the boot of a car. The robust design can carry passengers up to 19 stone/120kg with ease.
The eFOLDi Lite
This ultra-light scooter is the lightest model yet, bringing a new meaning to innovative mobility solutions. The award-winning model makes folding effortless and weighs only 15kg (without battery), passengers can easily fit it in the car boot, public transport and even on planes. It can carry passengers up to 19 stone/120kg, with the magnesium alloy frame offering robust, yet lightweight features. It is a pavement scooter and is often a natural next scooter after the Explorer.
The eFOLDi Power Chair
This lightweight, folding powered wheelchair is designed for everyday mobility, for those who can no longer use a scooter with optimal comfort. The aluminium alloy Power Chair folds up simply and easily, and fits easily into most car boots and is airline-safe. Weighing only 15kg (without battery), the powerchair can carry passengers up to 21 stone/135 kg and includes attendant control as standard. This feature allows wheelchair users with restricted mobility to be pushed by a caregiver or loved one instead of pushing themselves. The wheelchair requires only 2-3 hours of battery charging to be ready for a full day’s use.
