Power seating is more than getting comfy for train journeys or reclining while watching a movie, these features are an essential tool for managing pressure and alleviating tension throughout the day.

Pressure builds gradually, often without you noticing, particularly around the hips and pelvis. Shifting that weight regularly makes a real difference, both in the moment and over time. It's the kind of thing that's easy to forget when you're focused on getting somewhere, but the long-term impact is significant.

We really hope the benefit of power seating functions for is useful for managing his pain throughout the day, making his Series 5 more adaptable during his busy life!

For wheelchair users, feeling safe is something that is often beyond flashy features, it comes from trust, experience and continued support.

Safety looks a bit different for everyone and their own specific needs - for Kate it was things like comfortable belts and supportive headrests, but also knowing the chair is substantial and stable enough to support her seizures.

For others, things like long battery range or the ability to control drive settings empower people to go out for longer, and feel safe and confident while doing so.

That trust isn't built overnight. It comes from a team that stays close and responds when it matters. We keep that relationship going long after the delivery of a Series 5, because for our users, knowing someone is there makes all the difference.

The FOL team went on a tour of the Active Design factory with

It was refreshing to see a UK business that does everything in house as it has become such a rarity.

Manufacturing in this country has taken a battering over the decades. Much has moved abroad in the name of cutting costs which has led to a real loss of skill and craftsmanship.

Like Active Design, it’s important to us that every Series 5 powerchair is built here in UK, by people who genuinely care about what they're making.

Next week I'll be visiting Kent with my 50at50 mission, aiming to complete the 45km Whitstable to Ramsgate coast path

This time I'm being supported by wild_with_wheels, Cinque Ports Mobility & Healthcare, Lumen Mobility and of course Quantum Rehab UK

I'm being joined by good friend I Am Isaac Harvey who will be on his new Freedom One Life chair and is going to be our first big adventure together since meeting 4yrs ago!

I will also be paying my respects as an Army Veteran, at the Battle of Britain Memorial, before riding across the white cliffs of Dover to the, Fan Bay Sound Mirrors, which were used to detect approaching enemy aircraft before the invention of radar.

Hopefully we will show what's possible and inspire people to do whatever they can to get outdoors and benefit from everything that nature provides us with, especially in the crazy times we live in.

Kerbs, kerbs, kerbs - everywhere is kerbs! When you’re a powerchair user you’ll know the constant frustration at the lack of dropped kerbs. So we made it a priority when designing the Series 5.

Most chairs force you to either build up speed and momentum, or drop down kerbs backwards. The Series 5 does it differently. Its powerful motors and robust wheels let you approach at a slow, controlled pace and simply trust the chair to do the work, giving you confidence rather than compromise.

With a little practice, and some assessment of your comfort level, the Series 5 can tackle kerbs up to 120mm high!
