WHILL Introduces the Modo Breeze: A Carbon-Fiber Ultralight Electric Wheelchair

Weighing just under 29 pounds and folding in seconds, the airline-friendly Modo Breeze offers premium power mobility at a breakthrough price point.

WHILL, a global leader in personal electric mobility, today announced the launch of the Modo Breeze, a carbon-fiber, ultralight electric wheelchair engineered for everyday independence and effortless travel. With a fully configured weight of just 28.6 pounds (without battery), a quick-fold design, and an accessible price of $1,999, the Modo Breeze makes premium power mobility available to more people than ever before.

Built around a lightweight carbon-fiber frame, the Modo Breeze folds in seconds for easy transport and storage, slipping into a car trunk or closet without a struggle. Its 10Ah / 24V / 240Wh lithium-ion battery is certified safe for airline travel, so users can take their mobility with them on flights, road trips, and daily outings. A single charge delivers a range of up to 9.5 miles.

Beneath its featherweight profile, the Modo Breeze is powered by two brushless 180W motors, paired with front-wheel suspension, electromagnetic brakes, and anti-tip wheels for a smooth, confident ride. An intuitive LCD display controller puts speed and status information at the user's fingertips, while flip-up armrests and a flip-up footplate make side entry and exit simple. The chair supports a maximum user weight of up to 300 pounds.

"The Modo Breeze was designed to make powered mobility more accessible to more people," said Carl Crabill, Executive Vice President/General Manager for WHILL Mobility. "By combining a carbon lightweight, travel-friendly design with an affordable $1,999 price point, the Modo Breeze provides an easy entry into powered mobility without sacrificing the comfort, reliability, and performance users need for everyday life."
