Product Description
The Movo Cloud Carbon is an ultra-lightweight folding power wheelchair built around a carbon-fibre frame, weighing just 13.8 kg (30.5 lbs) with its battery fitted and 12.3 kg (27.3 lbs) without. Dual 24V 150W motors drive it to 6 km/h, a 10 Ah lithium-ion battery delivers up to 13 km per charge, and it folds to 29″ × 28″ × 10.5″ — making it one of the lightest powered wheelchairs available in Canada.
Carbon fibre is what makes the numbers work. Aluminium folding powerchairs bottom out around 45–50 lbs because the frame has to be thick enough to be rigid. Carbon fibre delivers comparable stiffness at a fraction of the weight, which is how the Cloud Carbon reaches 30.5 lbs complete — roughly the weight of a large suitcase, and light enough that lifting it into a car is a genuinely one-person job rather than something you plan around.
The chair carries a 125 kg (275 lb) rated capacity despite its weight, driven by two independent 24V 150W motors for balanced power and predictable turning. The 10 Ah lithium-ion battery provides up to 13 km of range and recharges from a 3.5 amp lithium charger. Footrests are both removable and adjustable, so seated position can be set correctly for leg length rather than accepting a fixed height — a detail that matters over a long day and one commonly fixed on travel chairs.
Folded, the Cloud Carbon measures 736.6 × 711 × 266.7 mm (29″ L × 28″ H × 10.5″ W), narrow enough to slide behind a car seat, into a cruise cabin wardrobe or beside a hotel bed. The Cloud Carbon is designed by Movo Evolution in Granby, Quebec, and supplied by Factory Direct Medical.
Key Features
Carbon Fibre Frame A genuine carbon-fibre chassis rather than aluminium, delivering the rigidity a powerchair needs at a fraction of the weight. This is what allows a full powerchair to come in at 30.5 lbs complete with battery.
30.5 lbs With Battery, 27.3 lbs Without 13.8 kg complete and 12.3 kg with the battery removed. Among the lightest powered wheelchairs sold in Canada, and comfortably within single-person lifting range for a car boot without a ramp or lift.
Dual 24V 150W Motors Two independent motors, one per drive wheel, giving balanced power delivery, predictable turning and better traction than a single-motor layout — particularly noticeable on ramps and slight cambers.
Folds to 10.5″ Wide Folded dimensions of 29″ L × 28″ H × 10.5″ W. Narrow enough to slide behind a car seat, into a cruise-cabin wardrobe or a hotel closet rather than occupying the whole boot.
Removable, Adjustable Footrests Footrests both detach for transport and adjust for leg length, so seated posture can be set correctly rather than compromised — a specification usually found only on heavier, non-folding chairs.
Up to 13 km Range The 10 Ah lithium-ion battery covers up to 13 km per charge, recharged by a compact 3.5 amp lithium charger. Enough for a day of indoor and light outdoor use, an event venue or a cruise-ship itinerary.
Cloud Carbon or Libby — Which Travel Powerchair?
Movo offers two lightweight folding powerchairs and they suit different priorities. The Cloud Carbon is the lighter and more compact of the two at 30.5 lbs, with a carbon-fibre frame, dual 150W motors, adjustable removable footrests and a 10.5″ folded width. The Libby weighs 33 lbs, folds to 13.4″ wide, offers a slightly higher 10.4 Ah battery capacity, and has a 19.7″ versus 19″ seat-to-ground height that is essentially equivalent.
Choose the Cloud Carbon if absolute minimum weight and folded width matter most — frequent flyers, cruise travellers, and anyone loading the chair into a small car repeatedly. Choose the Libby if you want a marginally larger battery and a proven aluminium platform at a slightly lower price. Both carry similar capacities; both fold in seconds; both use removable lithium batteries suitable for air travel subject to airline confirmation.
Neither chair is a substitute for a rehab-class powerchair. If you spend most of your waking hours seated, need tilt, recline or pressure-relief seating, or have specific postural support requirements, consult an occupational therapist about a clinical powerchair instead. Operate the Cloud Carbon within its 275 lb capacity, on suitable indoor floors, pavements and level outdoor ground, and store and charge the battery indoors.

Best For
- Frequent flyers and cruise travellers who need a powerchair that folds to 10.5″ wide and weighs 30.5 lbs complete with battery
- Anyone loading a powerchair into a small car boot regularly, where every pound and inch of folded width changes whether it is manageable alone
- Users up to 275 lbs (125 kg) who want dual-motor drive and adjustable footrests rather than the fixed-footrest compromise typical of travel chairs
- People who need powered mobility indoors and out but do not require a full clinical rehab powerchair with tilt or recline seating
Why Choose This Product
- A genuine carbon-fibre frame at 30.5 lbs with battery — among the lightest powered wheelchairs sold in Canada, and roughly 15 lbs lighter than typical aluminium folding powerchairs.
- Dual 24V 150W motors and removable adjustable footrests: drivetrain and seating specifications usually reserved for heavier, non-folding chairs.
- Designed by Movo Evolution in Granby, Quebec, and supplied by Factory Direct Medical at $3,709 CAD against a $3,900 MSRP, with Canadian warranty and service support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lightest electric wheelchair you can buy in Canada?
The Movo Cloud Carbon, at 13.8 kg (30.5 lbs) complete with its battery and 12.3 kg (27.3 lbs) without, is among the lightest powered wheelchairs available in the Canadian market. That figure is achieved with a carbon-fibre frame rather than aluminium. For comparison, the Movo Libby weighs 33 lbs and most competing folding powerchairs weigh between 45 and 60 lbs. Weight is the practical variable that decides whether one person can lift the chair into a vehicle without a ramp, lift or second pair of hands.
Is a carbon fibre wheelchair frame actually worth the extra cost?
It depends on how often you lift it. Carbon fibre delivers similar rigidity to aluminium at meaningfully lower weight, which is why the Cloud Carbon reaches 30.5 lbs where an aluminium equivalent sits near 45. If the chair mostly stays in one place, the difference matters little. If you load it into a car several times a week, take it on aircraft, or the person lifting it has back, shoulder or grip limitations, 15 fewer pounds is the difference between the chair being used and being left behind. Carbon fibre is also corrosion-immune, which matters through Canadian winters where road salt attacks aluminium and steel.
How far can the Cloud Carbon travel on one charge?
Up to 13 km per charge from its 10 Ah lithium-ion battery. Real-world range depends on user weight, surface, gradient and ambient temperature — cold conditions reduce lithium battery output noticeably, so expect less in a Canadian winter than in summer. For a full day out or an extended trip, a second battery carried as a spare is the practical solution, since the pack is removable and swaps in seconds.
Can the Cloud Carbon be taken on an aircraft?
It is designed for it. The chair folds to 29″ × 28″ × 10.5″ and the 10 Ah lithium-ion battery is removable — the configuration airlines are set up to handle. Airlines require lithium batteries to be removed and carried in the cabin, applying watt-hour limits that vary by carrier and route. Contact your airline at least 48 hours before travel, confirm their requirements, and keep the battery specification documentation with you. The folded chair is normally gate-checked and returned at the aircraft door.
What is the difference between the Cloud Carbon and the Movo Libby?
The Cloud Carbon uses a carbon-fibre frame, weighs 30.5 lbs with battery, folds to 10.5″ wide, runs dual 24V 150W motors, and has removable adjustable footrests. The Libby uses an aluminium frame, weighs 33 lbs, folds to 13.4″ wide, and carries a slightly larger 10.4 Ah battery. Both fold in seconds, both use removable lithium batteries, and both carry comparable user weights. Choose the Cloud Carbon for minimum weight and folded width; choose the Libby for a slightly larger battery at a lower price point.
