If your channel is everyday urban mobility rather than ultralight travel, four chairs in Wanderoll's ten-model line are built for exactly that job: City Range, City One, City Power and City Flex. They share a brief — daily-driver power chairs for city use, with the range, drive and load capacity a regular user needs — but they diverge on folding method, battery configuration and drive power, so choosing between them is a real decision for a buyer stocking a city range. This page puts the four side by side, in one table, and then says plainly which buyer each one is for.
This is the close-up companion to the wider range overview, which maps all ten models. Here we go deep on just the four city-power chairs. All figures below are catalogue specs; full certificates and test reports go to verified buyers on request. Battery chemistry is lithium ("Li"); exact cell chemistry is confirmed per order.
The short version
- City Range is the removable-battery range chair — a lighter city frame at 22.7 kg with up to 25 km per charge and a battery that lifts out for charging or spares.
- City One is the remote-fold convenience chair — it folds by remote control, offers two battery-bay configurations (288 / 576 Wh) and carries up to 150 kg.
- City Power is the dual-motor drive chair — twin 300 W motors and a PU backrest, rated to 150 kg for users who want more push in city use.
- City Flex is the new-frame, semi-fold chair — a redesigned frame with a semi-folding backrest, two battery options (250 / 499 Wh), at 26.3 kg.
If a buyer can only stock one, City Range is the lightest, broadest-appeal pick; City One sells on the remote-fold "wow"; City Power answers the "is it powerful enough?" question; City Flex is the newest frame with the most seating flexibility. Most distributors do better stocking two or more, so a customer's range, convenience, drive and budget needs all have an answer.

Read the table this way: all four are city-power chairs, but they pull apart on the one feature each leads with — range and a swappable battery (City Range), remote-control folding (City One), dual-motor drive (City Power), or the newest semi-fold frame (City Flex). There's no single "best" — there's a best for a given customer and price point. Where a cell shows TBD, that figure isn't in the catalogue yet; we confirm it per order before any spec goes to print.
City Range — the removable-battery range chair
City Range (CITY-01) is the volume city chair. It runs a lighter city frame at 22.7 kg, delivers up to 25 km per charge, and the battery lifts out for indoor charging or a spare to extend the day. That combination — lighter than the rest of the line, a real removable battery, and a usable daily range — makes it the broadest-appeal pick when a buyer wants a single city SKU that covers the most demand.
Lead with City Range for city and DME retail where the customer wants an everyday power chair that's easy to lift into a car and simple to charge. The removable battery is the part to pitch: a user can charge it away from the chair, or carry a second one for longer outings. Its battery is 360 Wh — note that sits above the common cabin threshold, so position it as a city daily driver, not a fly-in-the-cabin travel chair (see the cabin note below).
City One — the remote-fold convenience chair
City One (CITY-02) sells on a single feature most chairs don't have: it folds by remote control. For a retailer, that's a live demo that closes — press the remote, the chair folds itself, and the convenience story tells itself on the shop floor. It also offers two battery-bay configurations (288 / 576 Wh) so a buyer can spec shorter-range or longer-range builds from one platform, and it carries up to 150 kg.
Lead with City One when the sale is about convenience and the "wow" of one-touch folding — caregivers loading a chair into a boot, users who fold and stow daily, demo-led retail floors. On battery: the 288 Wh build is the lighter-range option, while the 576 Wh build extends range but pushes well over the common cabin limit — so the longer-range City One is a city-and-car chair, not a cabin chair (see the cabin note). Confirm the watt-hours you're quoting against the build the customer wants.
City Power — the dual-motor drive chair
City Power (CITY-03) is the answer to "is it powerful enough for hills and ramps?" It runs twin 300 W motors and adds a PU backrest for a more finished seat, rated to 150 kg. The dual-motor drive is the headline — more push than a single-motor city chair for inclines, kerb cuts and longer urban routes, while staying a folding city platform rather than a heavy full-size power chair.
Lead with City Power when the customer's first concern is drive — heavier users, hillier cities, or buyers who've had returns on underpowered chairs. The PU backrest is a small but useful comfort and perceived-quality upgrade to mention alongside the motors. Its battery watt-hours aren't published yet, so confirm the figure before making any cabin claim — and given it's a 150 kg drive chair, position it on capability, not cabin carriage.
City Flex — the new-frame, semi-fold chair
City Flex (CITY-04) is the newest frame in the city group, built around a semi-folding backrest and offering two battery options (250 / 499 Wh) at 26.3 kg. The semi-fold backrest gives a flatter, more compact stow than a fixed-back chair while keeping the frame simple, and the two battery sizes let a buyer offer a lighter-range or longer-range build from the same model.
Lead with City Flex for buyers who want the latest frame and the most flexibility — a choice of battery size and a backrest that folds for transport. It's the heaviest of the four at 26.3 kg, so frame the pitch around the new frame and configurability rather than portability. On battery: the 250 Wh build is lighter, the 499 Wh extends range; both sit at or above where airlines start applying cabin limits, so treat City Flex as a city chair and confirm the exact Wh per build before any transport claim/.
Will any of them fly in an aircraft cabin?
City end users ask this too, even for a daily-driver chair — so your sales team should answer it cleanly. Two things get confused, so separate them:
- UN38.3 certifies a lithium battery is safe to transport. It's required for air and sea freight — but on its own it does not mean the battery can travel in the aircraft cabin.
- Cabin or hold acceptance depends on the battery's watt-hours (Wh) and the airline's own policy. Many carriers cap removable mobility batteries at around 300 Wh for the cabin.
The City line is built for city use, not cabin travel, and the watt-hours reflect that. City Range at 360 Wh and City One in its 576 Wh build both sit above the common ~300 Wh threshold, so they should be positioned as city-and-car daily drivers that travel as freight — not as fly-in-the-cabin chairs. The lower-capacity builds (City One's 288 Wh, City Flex's 250 Wh) are nearer that line, but the call still rests with the specific airline and its current rules — confirm per carrier and per battery build, and never promise the cabin outright. If a buyer's customers genuinely need cabin carriage, point them to the travel range instead.
So which one for your buyer?
- Light, swappable-battery city daily driver → City Range. The lightest of the four at 22.7 kg with up to 25 km range and a removable battery — the broadest-appeal city SKU and the volume pick.
- Convenience-led / demo retail → City One. Remote-control folding that sells itself on the floor, plus two battery bays (288 / 576 Wh) and 150 kg capacity.
- Drive-led / heavier users / hilly cities → City Power. Twin 300 W motors and a PU backrest, rated to 150 kg — the answer to "is it powerful enough?"
- Newest frame / most flexibility → City Flex. A new frame with a semi-folding backrest and two battery sizes (250 / 499 Wh) for buyers who want the latest platform and configurable range.
All four are factory-direct and OEM / ODM-ready — your brand on the chair, your packaging and manuals, from low minimums — built on one line under one set of documentation, so adding a second or third city SKU doesn't mean re-sourcing.
