Product Description
The Heartway Moon is an indoor and outdoor power wheelchair that disassembles by hand in seconds — no tools required — so it can be carried into a car in manageable pieces rather than needing a lift or ramp. Dual 150W rear-wheel-drive motors and twin 12V 14 Ah batteries deliver 10.6 km of range at up to 6.3 km/h, with a tight 27.4″ turning radius and a 255 lb (115 kg) capacity.
Not every powerchair user needs a folding travel chair. The Moon takes a different approach to portability: rather than folding, it breaks apart. Seat, battery pack and base separate by hand in seconds, so the heaviest single piece is well within one person's lifting range even though the complete chair weighs 47.8 kg (105.4 lbs). For a chair that spends most of its time in use at home and only occasionally travels, that is often the more practical trade — you get a substantial, comfortable chair rather than a compromise-built lightweight one.
The drivetrain is two independent 150W motors at 2,800 rpm driving the rear wheels, with electro-mechanical braking. Rear-wheel drive gives better traction and a more natural driving feel outdoors than the front-wheel layouts common at this price, while the 27.4″ (695 mm) turning radius and 23.6″ armrest width keep it manoeuvrable in kitchens, hallways and around furniture.
The seat swivels, folds and adjusts for height, and includes a seat belt as standard. Twin 12V 14 Ah batteries provide 10.6 km (6.6 miles) of range and lift out as a 10.4 kg pack for indoor charging from the supplied 2 amp off-board charger. The Moon is manufactured by Heartway Medical, distributed in Canada by Movo Evolution and supplied by Factory Direct Medical.
Key Features
Disassembles by Hand in Seconds The seat, battery pack and base separate without tools, breaking a 105 lb chair into pieces one person can lift into a car boot. No ramp, no lift, no second pair of hands required.
Dual 150W Rear-Wheel Drive Two independent 150W motors at 2,800 rpm driving the rear wheels give better traction and a more natural, predictable driving feel outdoors than the front-drive layouts common in this price bracket.
27.4″ Turning Radius A 695 mm turning radius and 600 mm (23.6″) armrest width make the Moon genuinely usable indoors — through kitchens, hallways and around furniture — as well as on pavements and paths outside.
Swivel, Folding, Height-Adjustable Seat The lightweight seat swivels for easier transfers, folds down for transport and adjusts for height, with a seat belt fitted as standard. Seat width is 470 mm (18.5″).
Twin 12V 14 Ah Batteries Two 12-volt 14 Ah batteries deliver 10.6 km (6.6 miles) of range per charge and lift out as a 10.4 kg pack for indoor charging via the supplied 2 amp off-board charger.
Electro-Mechanical Braking Automatic electro-mechanical braking engages when you release the joystick, holding the chair securely on gentle gradients rather than allowing it to creep — a meaningful safety feature on ramps and driveways.
Breaking Apart vs Folding: Which Suits You?
Powered wheelchairs solve the transport problem in two ways. Folding chairs like the Movo Libby and Cloud Carbon collapse into a single piece of 30–33 lbs that you lift whole. Break-apart chairs like the Moon separate into three or four components, each individually light, that you load one at a time. Folding is faster and better for frequent air travel. Breaking apart lets you have a fuller-size, more comfortable chair without needing a vehicle lift.
The Moon is the better choice if your chair lives at home and travels occasionally — to appointments, to family visits, on holiday a few times a year. You get rear-wheel drive, a proper swivel seat with adjustable height, twin batteries and electro-mechanical braking at a price well below folding carbon-fibre chairs. If you fly monthly or need to load the chair alone several times a week, a folding chair is the more practical answer.
Note the Moon's outdoor limits: a 6-degree maximum grade, 40 mm (1.6″) ground clearance and a 30 mm (1.2″) maximum kerb. It is built for pavements, ramps, indoor floors and level outdoor ground — not steep driveways, high kerbs, gravel or grass. Operate within the 255 lb (115 kg) rated capacity.

Best For
- Users who want a full-size, comfortable powerchair at home but still need to transport it occasionally without buying a vehicle lift
- People who need genuine indoor manoeuvrability — a 27.4″ turning radius through kitchens, hallways and around furniture — plus outdoor capability
- Riders up to 255 lbs (115 kg) who want rear-wheel drive, a swivel adjustable seat and electro-mechanical braking at an accessible price
- Households where a caregiver loads the chair and needs to carry manageable individual pieces rather than lift a single heavy unit
Why Choose This Product
- Rear-wheel drive with dual 150W motors and electro-mechanical braking — a drivetrain specification usually found on more expensive chairs.
- Tool-free disassembly in seconds means a substantial 105 lb chair travels in a normal car boot without a ramp, lift or van conversion.
- Heartway Medical build quality with Canadian distribution through Movo Evolution, supplied by Factory Direct Medical at $2,799 CAD against a $2,950 MSRP.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mobility scooter and a power wheelchair?
A mobility scooter is steered by a tiller with handlebars, needs a wide turning circle, and suits people who can walk short distances and transfer on and off independently — it is essentially an outdoor distance aid. A power wheelchair like the Heartway Moon is controlled by a joystick, turns far more tightly (27.4″ in the Moon's case), and is designed to be used seated for most of the day including indoors, through kitchens, hallways and around furniture where a scooter cannot manoeuvre. If you need help covering ground outside, a scooter usually suffices. If you need seated mobility throughout the day and indoors, a powerchair is the correct choice.
How does the Heartway Moon disassemble, and how heavy is each piece?
The Moon separates by hand into its main components — seat, battery pack and base — with no tools required, in a matter of seconds. The complete chair weighs 47.8 kg (105.4 lbs), and the battery pack alone accounts for 10.4 kg (23 lbs) of that, which lifts out first. Removing the seat and battery leaves a base that one person of average strength can manage into a car boot. It is a practical alternative to a folding chair for anyone who transports their chair occasionally rather than daily.
Can the Heartway Moon go over kerbs and up hills?
Within limits. The Moon is rated for a maximum grade of 6 degrees and a maximum kerb of 30 mm (1.2″), with 40 mm (1.6″) of ground clearance. That covers standard accessibility ramps, driveway transitions and small thresholds, but not full street kerbs, steep driveways or unpaved gradients. Use dropped kerbs and designated ramps rather than attempting to mount a standard kerb, which exceeds the chair's rated capability and risks tipping.
How long does the Moon's battery last on a charge?
The twin 12V 14 Ah batteries deliver 10.6 km (6.6 miles) of range per charge. Actual range varies with user weight, surface, gradient and temperature, and sealed lead-acid batteries lose noticeable capacity in cold conditions — expect meaningfully less on a Canadian winter day. The batteries lift out as a 10.4 kg pack and charge indoors from the supplied 2 amp off-board charger, which is the recommended approach: never leave batteries charging in an unheated garage over winter.
Is the Heartway Moon suitable for use indoors?
Yes — it was designed for both. At 600 mm (23.6″) wide at the armrests with a 695 mm (27.4″) turning radius, the Moon clears standard Canadian interior doorways and turns within the space of a typical hallway or kitchen. The swivel seat also makes transfers on and off easier in confined spaces. Its rear-wheel drive gives predictable outdoor handling on pavements and paths, so the same chair works in both environments rather than needing a separate indoor and outdoor solution.
Summary
The Heartway Moon is an indoor-and-outdoor power wheelchair that disassembles by hand in seconds for transport, driven by dual 150W rear-wheel motors with electro-mechanical braking, twin 12V 14 Ah batteries giving 10.6 km of range, a 27.4″ turning radius and a 255 lb capacity. Available in Red from Factory Direct Medical at $2,799 CAD.
Important Notice: The Heartway Moon is a mobility aid intended to assist people with limited mobility and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
