- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024Model: 1# Right JoystickVerified PurchaseWhen a family member became disabled, we knew we needed a way for him to get around. The large custom wheelchairs are great but impossible to get into the car. This gives him the ability to get out of the house and be part of our everyday lives. It is sleek, fast, great turning radius, super easy to use. We’ve had zero issues with battery, steering or anything else. The only features that are missing are an ability to raise/lower chair height and ability to tilt back. But the trade off is that the chair is lightweight and mobile and perfect for all our day trips or appointments or errands. Given that the custom chairs (with all the added functions) are many tens of thousands of dollars, this is a great value and performs well above its price point.
In addition, the customer service team is amazing! They independently reached out several times: to confirm the chair was delivered, to ask if an alternate joystick would be preferred, to offer a larger battery, and to ensure the larger battery was delivered. They answered all my questions and sent these additional items without charge. They’ve been absolutely terrific!
Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025Model: 1# Right JoystickVerified PurchaseI received my Robooter X40 within one week of my order. It came very well packaged and was in perfect condition after getting it free from being encased within a clam shell of styrofoam. The overall high build quality is evident of pride in craftsmanship in the manufacture of the X40. The directions for operation are very easy to learn in only a few minutes. The expansion function of the chair is very smooth and quiet. The seat cushioning seems very comfortable. I drove around my basement do to the current winter conditions and it has a very small turning radius that I believe would make it just as manuverable indoors as a wheelchair. My main goal was to get something with a small footprint that is relatively lightweight and easy to take from place to place without all the extras needed for a typical mobility scooter/chair. It can easily be put into the back of a sudden or trunk of most cars. I am very excited to be able to once again have more freedom of mobility that the X40 will give me. Now I just need spring weather to come so I can enjoy getting outside once again with the freedom the Robooter will provide.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024Model: 1# Right JoystickVerified PurchaseI’ve now had this for almost a year. It continues to perform well. This is my back up chair, so when my primary chair is out of service I use this one full-time, all day long, often for a week or two.. otherwise I use it when I am going out with my family and we are going to take one of their cars.
I have been a wheelchair user for about 20 years and have tried several different models over that time. I have a big customized power chair that my health insurance provides, but right now it’s broken and when I ordered this, it was going to be three months before I got the replacement. (And it’s still a month off!) But even being without the chair for a few days is very difficult for me. So I do try to keep a backup chair which I pay for myself. The X 40 is my new backup.
First impressions:
AUTOMATIC FOLDING
The automatic folding and unfolding is amazing. It’s too heavy for an Uber driver, but it allows my adult sons to put it in an out of a regular car trunk, which is very nice. I wouldn’t feel safe riding in the car sitting in it. (there’s no Tiedown brackets built-in, and I think it’s probably too light anyway.) But I can transfer to a regular seat in our van, and then use the app to drive it up the ramp in a folded position, where we can then strap it down for safe transport. So that’s very cool.
A LITTLE SLOW, BUT POWERFUL
At about 2.5 mph in regular mode it’s definitely slower than my regular chair, but acceptable. There’s a booster mode which will go up to 3.7 mph, but it’s only intended for places where you need extra power like going up a steep driveway or over gravel, it uses up a lot of battery life in that mode. I do sometimes put it in boost if I’m taking the dog out for a walk and I want the extra speed, but most of the time I use it in regular mode. That speed is fine for the grocery store or around my house, but I do notice it feels slow at target or Costco or other big stores.
(The speed shown on the pictures of the controller is over 8 kph, but the current design and the model that I received max out at 6 kph, and that’s only in boost mode. The regular mode maxes out at about 4.5 kph.)
The dual suspension system and the tires are great: it’s very comfortable coming up the driveway, for example. Also, it can handle a 10° incline, more than many chairs, which makes it great for the small relatively steep ramps we have around the house.
MORE COMFORTABLE FOR SHORTER PEOPLE, AND NOT FULL SUPPORT
They say it would work for someone up to 6’ 1” tall, but I think it’s going to be more comfortable for shorter people. You can tell from the pictures that the seatback is not very high and there’s no headrest.
NOISE IS ABOUT THE SAME AS OTHER MODELS
When I first got it, I thought it was noisier than any other powerchair I’ve had except an inexpensive folding chair. That was true even when it’s empty and moving under app control. But we did the unboxing outdoors and now I think it probably had a twig or a leaf in the tire tread and that was what was making the noise. In any case, it was better by the third day.
I did want to mention that customer support was great on this issue. After I told them about it during the original communication to get the second battery, they contacted me twice to encourage me to make a video and send it to them so they could figure out what was going on. Making videos is a lot of work for me, so I never did get around to it. The problem resolved itself before I needed to. But I really appreciated their concern and communication.
FANTASTIC BATTERY DESIGN
The battery design is fantastic: the battery is towards the front, and can be very easily lifted out and replaced. Not only is it easier to do, it’s much easier to tell a helper how to do it than most power chairs. It’s also really nice to be able to check the battery level in the app.
At the time that I bought it, the Amazon page noted that they were offering a free 20 amp battery sent separately if you contacted them. The one that it comes with is a 10 amp battery which is acceptable to airlines, but obviously has a shorter battery life.
The new battery charged up fine. The chair isn’t any faster with it, and I don’t think it’s more powerful, but you definitely get longer battery life which is important for me since I am wheelchair-dependent even just to get around my home. I also liked the fact that I could have one battery in the chair while I was charging the other one with the charger, so I never had to go without the chair.
Also, you can take the battery out even when the chair is folded, so if you have the chair in the trunk of the car and you don’t want to take the whole chair out, you could just bring the battery into the house to recharge, which will be useful for some people.
FLIPUP ARMRESTS WORK WELL
The flipup armrests work very well on both sides, making it easy to transfer side to side, which I appreciate.
The joystick is the large easy grip style, which I prefer anyway.
I appreciate the fact that it has a longer seatbelt which fits comfortably over my winter jacket. I haven’t measured the belt exactly, but it extends to at least 50 inches. I have used loaner chairs before with much shorter belts, and it was tricky to get it belted under my jacket.
COMES FULLY ASSEMBLED
It comes fully assembled, which is great. And with enough of a battery charge that you can unbox it outdoors, and then drive it into the house and test it out a bit. It was very well packaged for shipment (two outer cardboard boxes and an inner Styrofoam box to protect it), but also very easy for my helper to unbox. It is heavy at 90 pounds, so a less strong person might need to cut the box sides off to get it out.
We did have one moment of confusion. To turn the chair on, you need to hold the power button down for three or four seconds, which we didn’t know. So when he first tried to start it, he just pressed quickly on the button, and then when it didn’t turn on, he assumed that the battery wasn’t charged. But it was, he just needed to hold the button down longer. I actually like this as a safety feature because you’re much less likely to accidentally turn it on, like when you’re transferring out of the chair, but it was confusing at the time.
IT FOLDS, BUT PROBABLY NEEDS TWO PEOPLE TO LIFT IT
There are a number of other much lighter folding travel power chairs available in the same price range if you’re looking for something you can take in an Uber or a friend’s car. But those are generally designed only for indoor use and have much shorter battery life. Those are good for a quick trip to the doctor or the grocery store, but those other models are not meant for all day use or much outdoor travel.
In contrast, this model has much longer battery life, more power, great tires, and can handle many surfaces. But it will probably require two people to lift it unless you can figure out how to drive it up a ramp into your vehicle. That’s not a problem for me, because our van is already equipped with a ramp to handle my full-size chair.
My guess would be that you could use a portable ramp with cars that have a liftgate back like most SUVs and some hatchbacks and use the app to have the X40 drive itself into the car.
You might also be able to use a ramp and have it drive itself through the side door of a minivan, but you will probably have to remove a seat to make room for it. And I do recommend strapping it down since at 90 pounds it would be dangerous if it started bouncing around.
It will fit in a regular car trunk, and but you will probably need two people to lift it in and out since, again, it’s 90 pounds.
ONE TRICKY NAVIGATION ISSUE
It works very well going over crosswise grooves in the sidewalk, like where two concrete slabs fit together. But if the groove is running in the same direction that the chair is moving and you move over the groove even a tiny bit, the tire will pull you towards the groove, and then you will be running straight along the groove. If this happens, I have found that I can’t turn away from the groove while the chair is moving. I have to stop, then turn, then move sideways to the groove, and then turn back in the direction that I want to go. I have not had this issue with any other chairs, so I think it’s because of the “Omnidirectional“ tires. You get used to this kind of navigation pretty quickly, but it does require looking down at the ground once you feel that pull and then deciding what to do about it.
It’s very noticeable at our house, because there is a groove of this type on the sidewalk out front.
It’s also an issue one place inside the house, in the laundry room. There’s a ridge between two parts of the room where the flooring changes to a waterproof linoleum underneath the washer. I have to do a three point turn there, backing up and swinging around, to come back in the other direction. With my old chair, I could approach that ridge at any angle and not have a problem, so I could be turning and moving at the same time. With the X 40, everything works much better, going either forwards are in reverse, if I am directly crosswise to the ridge. So again, I need to stop the chair, make the turn, and then continue forward or in reverse, rather than doing a kind of slalom turn as I go.
It’s not really any more difficult, and I am getting used to it, but it is a different driving pattern than with more conventional tires.
RAINY WEATHER CAN BE TRICKY
we have had some really stormy weather in the last few weeks, and I don’t feel quite as safe in this chair as I do in the bigger one. I don’t know whether it’s the Omnidirectional tires or just the fact that it’s lighter weight, but it does sometimes skid sideways a few inches in heavy rain, even just going down our driveway. It’s not bad enough to change my overall impression of the chair, I’m still very happy with it, but it is something to be aware of if you have to go outside in the rain. There seems to be less of this problem when the chair is going more slowly, which makes me suspect it might just be the total weight rather than the tire design. So just another thing to be aware of.

I have now had the chair for two months and use it every day for multiple hours, so the review above is based on that. I will update this review after I have been using it for longer and I see how it holds up over time, but for now, I am very pleased with this purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Model: 1# Right JoystickVerified PurchaseThis wheelchair is absolutely worth the money! Incredible quality and so easy to operate. Definitely go on there website for us and order the accessories for the wheelchair. It is so worth getting all the bells and whistles. I can get in and out of my house with a small ramp at the door to get in and out. It works so well on the ramps. Best thing is you can leave the backpack on and colapse it with no issue. It is amazing how it colapse and makes traveling easier and takes up less room than my manual wheelchair. This wheelchair has changed my life. I can now do many things that I couldn't before. It has given me freedom and more independence! You will not regret this purchase.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2024Model: 1# Right JoystickVerified PurchaseI like everything about this chair except one thing...it ain't fast enough. It's plenty fast enough indoors but when I gotta go get the mail it takes a minute. Seems well made and I like the remote-control features. I also like that it doesn't look like every other power chair on the market, plus it fits in the trunk of my Tesla (kinda matches my Tesla too). I work for a pro race team, and I needed a chair that I could get around the shop without banging into customer cars, the Omni front wheels work very well for this and allows for very precise steering. Then there's the customer service, these folks are very good and very responsive, definitely two thumbs. It's not cheap, but it is good and solid.
