Royale Robooter Powerchairs: Where Style Meets Function | EP 9 | Redefining What's Possible

The portable powerchair category is growing fast, but until now most options have been too small, too limited, or too restrictive to suit the wide variety of people who need them.
In this episode, host Sarah Uncle sits down with Sally Kentell, OT and Assistive Technology Professional from the ILS Light Rehab team, to introduce the Royale Robooter range, four new portable powerchairs that are new to ILS for 2026.
Sally breaks down each model in the range, what makes them different, and how to match the right chair to the right client.
In this episode, we cover:
→ Where the Robooter range sits in the bigger picture of powered mobility
→ The four models (E40, E80, E60-A and E60-Pro-A) and when to consider each one
→ Omnidirectional wheels: what they are and how they perform in real-world trials
→ How to assess transport needs, carer capacity and home environment as part of prescription
→ Clinical red flags and when a portable powerchair is not the right fit
→ Safe working load (150 kg) and other key specifications to know
→ Why the E80 is quickly becoming the most popular in the range
If you're an OT wanting a clearer picture of where portable powerchairs fit in the mobility spectrum and how to match the right model to the right client, this episode covers the clinical reasoning you need.
