Inspired design
The F-Series builds on over 50 years of experience to create our most capable family of front wheel drive power wheelchairs ever.

Stand without compromise
We combined all of the performance features of the F5 Corpus with superior power standing functionality. Fully programmable standing sequences allow user position to be optimized using supine, semi-reclined or sit-to-stand techniques.
Strength and stability
Power meets performance on the new F5 Corpus with a blazing 7.5mph top end speed and upgraded ComfortRide Pro suspension. All-wheel independent, fully adjustable, oil dampened shocks provide the ultimate in ride comfort while helping to reduce vibrations that can transfer from terrain up to user.

The F3 Corpus offers the smallest footprint of the F-series front wheel drive power wheelchairs. Its compact size and agility allows users to easily maneuver in and out of tight spaces.
Ergo Seating Options: All Rigid Frames
The Ergonomic Advantage provides an additional unique bend in the frame creating an ergonomic seat slope sitting you lower in the chair providing greater pelvic stability and improved posture through optimal contouring.
