Overview
The HKM-696851 is a lightweight folding electric wheelchair engineered for elderly riders who want reliable powered mobility without the bulk of a traditional power chair. The aluminum-alloy X-frame keeps the net weight at about 51 lb (23.3 kg) without the battery installed, while still supporting riders up to 265 lb (120 kg).
Two quiet 180 W brushless hub motors on the rear wheels deliver smooth, balanced drive power. The upgraded intelligent electromagnetic brake brings the chair to a controlled stop the moment the joystick returns to neutral, and it holds the chair securely on slopes up to 8 degrees. The 360-degree joystick controller mounts on either armrest and gives proportional speed control for indoor hallways, elevators, and outdoor sidewalks.
The removable 24 V lithium battery pack snaps out from under the seat for off-board charging or to lighten the chair when lifting it into a vehicle. The one-touch folding mechanism collapses the chair to a compact standing package in seconds -- no tools required. The HKM-696851 is offered in multiple color options to suit your preference.
Whether you are navigating an apartment, visiting a shopping center, strolling through a park, or preparing for a flight, the HKM-696851 is built to make every trip easier.
Key Features
Dual 180 W Brushless Hub Motors
Two 180 W brushless hub motors -- one on each rear wheel -- give smooth, quiet drive power with even load sharing. Low-friction brushless design means quieter operation, longer service life, and maintenance-free use. Rear-wheel drive offers predictable traction and a tight turning circle for indoor maneuvering.
Removable 24 V Lithium Battery Pack
The removable 24 V lithium-ion battery pack snaps in and out from under the seat. Lift it out for off-board charging at any outlet, or to significantly lighten the chair when lifting into a car trunk. The included 100-240 V charger works in most countries with the appropriate plug adapter.
One-Touch Cross-Frame Fold
A single release on the X-frame lets the chair collapse in seconds to a slim standing package. The folded profile fits easily in most car trunks, closets, and storage compartments. No tools, no disassembly needed.
360-Degree Joystick Controller
The ergonomic joystick combines forward, reverse, speed dial, horn, and battery-gauge controls in one unit. The mount can be swapped between the left and right armrest to suit the rider's dominant hand. Proportional control makes fine adjustments easy in tight spaces.
Intelligent Electromagnetic Brake
The motors engage an automatic electromagnetic hold the instant the joystick returns to neutral. Safer and more responsive than mechanical systems, it prevents rollback on inclines up to 8 degrees and stays locked even during a power interruption -- adding security during transfers and stops.
Lightweight Aluminum-Alloy Frame
The high-strength aluminum-alloy X-frame keeps net weight at about 51 lb (23.3 kg) without the battery while maintaining rigidity for riders up to 265 lb (120 kg). The durable finish resists scratches and corrosion for daily use in all seasons.
PU Solid Tires, No Inflation
Small front caster tires and larger rear drive wheels use puncture-proof PU solid rubber. No air to top up, no pinch flats. Reliable traction on tile, carpet, hardwood, pavement, and light outdoor paths.
Anti-Tip Wheels & Lap Belt
Rear anti-tip wheels prevent backward tipping on ramps and uneven ground. A padded lap belt holds the rider securely in place. Available in multiple color options so you can choose a look that fits your style.

Battery & Range
The HKM-696851 uses a removable 24 V lithium-ion battery pack that stores energy under the seat. On a full charge, riders typically cover up to about 12.4 mi (20 km) on flat pavement at moderate speed. Actual range varies with rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and stop-and-go patterns.
Tip: For maximum convenience, slide the battery out of its under-seat mount and charge it off-board at any outlet. The included 100-240 V charger works in most countries with the appropriate plug adapter. A full top-up from empty takes about 6-8 hours; a partial top-up after a short ride takes proportionally less time.
Because the battery is fully removable, you can take it indoors for charging while leaving the chair in the car or garage -- or carry a spare pack for longer days out. For airline travel, confirm with your airline before flying; rules vary by carrier, route, and battery size.
Daily Use & Care
- Before riding: Confirm the joystick battery gauge shows a healthy charge, the battery pack is fully seated and latched under the seat, and the joystick mount is secured on the chosen armrest.
- Transfers: Flip up the footrests and lift the swing-away armrests to side-transfer from a bed, sofa, or car seat.
- Folding and unfolding: Switch the chair off, release the X-frame latch, and gently fold the backrest down onto the seat -- the chair collapses into a slim standing package in seconds.
- Tire care: PU solid tires do not need inflation. Wipe them with a damp cloth to remove grit, and check the treads monthly for wear or embedded debris.
- Battery care: Avoid storing the battery fully discharged for long periods. Top up at least once a month during storage, and always charge indoors at room temperature using the included charger only.
- Cleaning: Wipe the frame with a soft damp cloth and mild neutral detergent. Do not soak the joystick, battery compartment, or motor hubs. The seat cover is removable and washable.
- Manual mode: Disengage the motor locks on the rear hubs (per user manual) so a caregiver can push the chair like a manual wheelchair when needed. Re-engage the locks for powered drive.

Pre-Ride Safety Checklist
- Battery check. Confirm the battery pack is fully seated under the seat, the latch is locked, the gauge shows a healthy charge, and the connections are secure.
- Brake check. With the chair powered on a flat surface, release the joystick -- the chair should stop and hold in place via the electromagnetic brake.
- Tire check. Inspect all wheels for cracks, embedded debris, or unusual wear on the PU solid treads.
- Joystick check. Move the joystick through its full range of motion; the chair should respond smoothly in all directions without jitter.
- Footrest check. Confirm the footrests are locked in the deployed position before placing weight on them.
- Armrest check. Ensure the flip-up armrests are latched securely before riding.
- Motor lock. Confirm motor locks are engaged (drive mode) before powering on for riding.
- Environment scan. Check the path for steps, steep slopes above 8 degrees, standing water, ice, or loose gravel before driving off.
Quick Troubleshooting
The chair will not power on.+
Confirm the battery pack is fully seated in its under-seat mount, the charge level is not empty, and the power button is being held long enough to register. Try connecting the charger -- if the charger indicator lights up, the battery is recognized. If the chair still does not power on, contact support.
The motors do not respond to the joystick.+
Check that the motor locks are engaged (drive mode), the electromagnetic brake is not faulting, and the chair is powered on. Power the chair off and back on. If the joystick indicator shows an error code, note it and contact support.
The driving range is shorter than expected.+
Range depends on rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and stop-and-go patterns. An aging battery that no longer holds a full charge after many cycles may need replacement. Store and charge at room temperature for longest battery life.
The chair rolls on a slope when the joystick is centered.+
The electromagnetic brake should hold the chair whenever the joystick is in neutral, even during a power interruption. If it does not, power off, engage any mechanical parking option, and contact support. Avoid leaving the chair unattended on slopes.
The joystick mount feels loose.+
Power off the chair, check the mount clamp for tightness, and reposition the joystick to your preferred side. If the mount itself is damaged, a replacement mount is available as a spare part.
The battery does not seem to hold a full charge.+
Lithium batteries gradually lose capacity over time. If a full 6-8 hour charge yields significantly less than the expected range after 300 or more cycles, the battery may need replacement. Store and charge at room temperature for longest battery life.
