Key Features

  • Mid-Wheel Drive Technology – experience a stable, smooth control both indoors and outdoors with a mid-wheel drive powerchair.

  • Enhanced Outdoor Performance – higher top speed and longer range than the M3 model.

  • Corpus Seating System – clinically proven for pressure management, postural support and daily comfort.

  • Active Reach & Active Height – allows seat elevation and forward tilt for functional reach and greater independence.

  • Powerful Suspension – absorbs uneven terrain, kerbs and outdoor challenges with ease.

  • Customisable Controls – intuitive driving and seating adjustments to suit individual needs.

Benefits for Users

  • Expands independence at home, work and in the community.

  • Provides confidence for outdoor journeys on pavements, slopes and varied terrain.

  • Promotes long-term comfort with pressure relief and adaptable seating options.

  • Enhances social interaction through eye-level conversations and improved reach.

Who Is It For?

The Permobil M5 Corpus is ideal for wheelchair users who require more outdoor capability and performance than the Permobil M3 Corpus, while still benefiting from Corpus seating for posture and comfort. It suits active users who regularly navigate outdoor environments but still need reliable indoor manoeuvrability. If you prefer a more compact indoor option, consider the Permobil F3 Corpus.

The Permobil M5 Corpus is more than just a wheelchair available from Recare – it's a reliable, versatile partner for users who want to embrace adventure with greater confidence, control, and comfort.
