When folded, it is a compact, collapsible wheelchair that stands upright in most car boots or leans against a hallway wall without
For families managing a wheelchair as part of daily routines, a quick, uncomplicated fold makes a real difference. You are more likely to take the chair out when loading it is effortless. The Explorer Value’s fold is as straightforward as it gets: a fold-up wheelchair that behaves like one.
Seat Width Options — Getting the Right Fit
Choosing the right seat width is the most important sizing decision when buying any foldable wheelchair. A seat that is too narrow puts pressure on your hips and thighs; too wide reduces lateral support and makes pushing harder. To measure, sit in an upright chair and measure the widest point of your hips and upper thighs. Add approximately 2.5cm for a comfortable fit if between sizes, go slightly wider.

Explorer Value vs Explorer Standard
The Explorer Value is the right choice if your needs are straightforward and budget is the main consideration — reliable, easy to fold, and priced accessibly. The Explorer Standard is worth considering if you use a wheelchair as your main daily mobility aid for most of your waking hours, need the option to self-propel, or want more adjustability for all-day comfort. It costs more, but for intensive daily use it is the more appropriate specification.
If you need a chair primarily for transport and travel rather than home-based use, the Explorer Travel is the lightest option in the range. Not sure which suits you? Call our team on 020 8191 3247 for an honest recommendation based on your situation.
FAQS
Is the Explorer Value wheelchair well-built for daily use?
Yes. The Explorer Value has a solid steel frame that handles regular daily use without components loosening or failing quickly. It covers the kind of journeys most people need a wheelchair for — shopping, appointments, outings — dependably. It is not built for the most intensive all-day daily use; the Explorer Standard is the better fit for that. But for regular everyday use as a home or outings wheelchair, it is a reliable, well-built chair at an accessible price.
What is the price of the Explorer Value wheelchair?
Call our team on 020 8191 3247 for the current wheelchair price. If you have a qualifying disability or long-term health condition, you can purchase it VAT-free, saving 20% at checkout with no GP letter required. We will also advise on whether the Explorer Value is the right specification for your needs, or whether the Explorer Standard or Explorer Travel would better suit your needs.
What seat widths are available?
The Explorer Value is available in multiple seat widths. To find the right size, measure the widest part of your hips while seated, then add approximately 2.5cm. Choose the nearest available width if between sizes, go slightly wider. Call our team on 020 8191 3247 with your measurement, and we will confirm the right option before you order.
How does the Explorer Value compare to the Explorer Standard?
The Explorer Value is the entry-level option, a dependable, easy-to-fold wheelchair for regular use where budget is the main consideration. The Explorer Standard offers more adjustability, self-propel, and attendant configurations, and is built for more intensive daily use as a primary wheelchair. If your needs are moderate and budget is a concern, the Value is a solid choice. If you rely on a wheelchair as your primary daily mobility aid, the Standard is worth the additional cost.

Yes. If you or the person you are purchasing for has a qualifying disability or long-term health condition, you can buy the Explorer Value VAT-free. The 20% is removed at checkout when you declare your condition; no GP letter or formal paperwork is required.
