Carbon fibre has long been used in aerospace, cycling, and automotive industries — and now, it’s transforming mobility technology. At Pride Mobility Products Australia, we’ve introduced carbon fibre into two of our most innovative products: the Jazzy Carbon Ultra-lite powerchair and the Go Go Carbon scooter.
Why does this material matter in the mobility space? How does it allow independence without compromise. Read through this article to find out more.
What is Carbon Fibre?
Carbon fibre is a composite material made by weaving thin strands of carbon together and setting them in resin. The result? A material that is:
- Incredibly strong — stronger than steel, but much lighter.
- Extremely lightweight — essential for travel, lifting, and transport.
- Durable & corrosion-resistant — built to last, even with daily use.
That’s why you see it in racing bikes, aircraft, and Formula 1 cars. In mobility, it means chairs and scooters that are easier to lift, fold, and travel with, while still supporting everyday use.
Jazzy Carbon Ultra-lite
The Jazzy Carbon Ultra-lite uses a carbon fibre frame to keep its heaviest piece at just 15.3 kg. It folds quickly with a simple lever, and its compact size makes it ideal for tight indoor spaces or travel. Despite the low weight, it supports up to 136 kg, with a range of 20 km per charge.
For users, this means:
- Easier lifting into cars or onto planes.
- Less strain for caregivers.
- A chair that doesn’t sacrifice strength for portability.
Go Go Carbon
At just 16 kg without the battery, the Go Go Carbon scooter is one of the lightest in its class. The carbon fibre frame makes it possible to fold it in seconds and even tow it like luggage. It offers a range of 16 km per charge and a top speed of 6 km/h, with smart features like NFC ignition and a bright display.
For travellers, this means:
- Quick fold-and-go convenience.
- Airline-friendly design (check airline lithium-ion policies).
- A scooter strong enough for daily independence, light enough for spontaneous trips.
Why Carbon Fibre Matters in Mobility
Traditional steel or aluminium designs are reliable but heavy. For people living active lifestyles — travelling, working, visiting family, or simply getting out into the community — every kilo matters. Carbon fibre allows us to deliver:
- Freedom: easier lifting, storage, and transport.
- Confidence: strength without compromise.
- Future-ready mobility: technology inspired by aerospace and automotive, tailored to everyday life
Carbon fibre isn’t just a high-tech material — it’s a step forward in making mobility solutions lighter, stronger, and more travel-friendly. With the Jazzy Carbon Ultra-lite and the Go Go Carbon, Pride Mobility is proud to bring world-class innovation to those who value independence and adventure.
