The Ultralight Revolution in Electric Mobility Arrives in Spring 2026

The personal mobility sector is gearing up for one of the most anticipated launches in recent years. The Japanese company WHILL has officially announced the arrival in spring 2026 of its new ultralight electric wheelchair: the WHILL Model C Lite, a device that promises to redefine the standards of design, weight, sustainability, and performance in its category.

This new model represents a decisive step toward the future of personal mobility, combining advanced materials, precision engineering, and the innovative DNA that characterizes the brand.

A New Generation of Ultralight Mobility

The main differentiating factor of the WHILL Model C Lite is its recycled carbon fiber frame, which allows for a total weight reduction to just 17 kg, an exceptional figure within the electric wheelchair segment.

This lightweight design represents a radical change in terms of:

Transportation by car

Handling by the user or caregivers

Home storage

Use while traveling

For the first time, a device of this kind combines true portability with full electrical performance, eliminating one of the main traditional compromises in this type of solution.

One of the most distinctive features of the Model C Lite is the inclusion of exclusive omnidirectional wheels, a flagship WHILL technology that allows for:

Turning in tight spaces

Precise maneuvering indoors

Improved stability on various surfaces

According to the manufacturer, it is the world's only lightweight, foldable carbon fiber electric wheelchair equipped with omnidirectional wheels, reinforcing its position as an innovative product in the market.

The combination of foldability and ultralight weight makes the Model C Lite a tool designed to maximize user independence.

Recycled Carbon Fiber: Advanced Technology and Environmental Commitment

The Model C Lite stands out not only for its weight. It also introduces an innovative approach to sustainability by using carbon resin made from recycled materials, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions during the manufacturing process.

Furthermore, this material can potentially be recycled at the end of the product's life cycle, contributing to a circular economy model that marks a new direction in the design of mobility devices.

This environmental commitment aligns with a growing trend in the sector: creating solutions that are not only functional but also responsible.
