Freedom One Life

Founded by a power wheelchair user, we create next-generation mobility products to allow wheelchair users to live the life they choose.

The founder, Alex Papanikolaou, created Freedom One Life due to the limitations of the stagnant powerchair market which he experienced first-hand. Our vision is to deliver radical change to the market, offering a revolutionary power wheelchair to improve independence and stretch the boundaries of powerchair users. We have done this in 4 key ways:

Performance - we have created the biggest wheelchair battery in the world, delivering a world-beating 40-kilometre range in real-world conditions on a single charge. Our high-efficiency motors deliver triple the power of comparable chairs on the market, and we also have a compact design, ideal for precise manoeuvrability. Reliability and Safety - Our battery has five years of charge cycles, we use premium grade materials to improve strength and stability, and cables and components are completely enclosed, protecting them from damage. Comfort and Convenience - Adjustable ergonomic seating and tilt and lift functions for flexible positioning. We are the only chair in the world to have an onboard, integrated charger. We also use low-pressure, extra-wide rear tyres for a smoother ride. Transportability - 30% lighter than comparable powerchairs on the market, crash-tested, and with accessible lift points for transit.

Race Across Europe in a Series 5 will be released on January 27th on our YouTube channel! We know it’s been a long wait but we are really excited for you all to see it. 📽️👀

Expect plenty of teasers, clips, and deleted scenes from the film in the lead-up. Your support is vital in helping us make this something we can do again, so if you can, please engage, share, and let us know what you think. 💬

Our aim is to make travel a reality for powered wheelchair users who are rarely, if ever, given opportunities like this, and to show that with the right planning and the right equipment, far more is possible than you may expect. 🦼

In the meantime, enjoy Oli and his dad, Rob, attempting to channel their inner chocolate connoisseurs for the day at the brilliant - they were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and made the entire chocolate experience possible. 🍫

Merry Christmas from everyone here at the Freedom One Life Team. Here is a silly little gift of music this festive period: "Always Drive a Series 5"!

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not, enjoying time with family or out with friends, can't stand Christmas, finding the season challenging, or spending it alone, we all share the same humanity. Life takes each of us on different paths, and some journeys carry greater challenges - but at our core, all of us are human, and equally valuable.

As we look back on 2025, we want to thank everyone who has been part of our story - our amazing customers, our dedicated sales partners, those who have supported all the content we have put out this year and those who offered constructive feedback which helped us grow.

From all of us, thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to a hopeful, bright, and joyful 2026!

Der Series 5 Song ist da! Der Song "Always drive a Series 5" - ist ein kleines Geschenk von uns, an euch alle da draußen! Egal ob ihr Weihnachten feiert, ob ihr im Kreise der Familie seid, mit Freunden unterwegs seid, ob ihr Weihnachten gar nicht leiden könnt oder ihr vielleicht alleine seid und eine schwierige Zeit durchmacht - wir alle sind gleich. Nicht jeder Lebensweg ist wie der andere und einige von uns haben größere Herausforderungen zu meistern. Auch das neue Jahr wird vieles mit sich bringen was vielleicht nicht ganz so einfach ist.
Doch im Kern sind wir alle gleich und auch gleich wertvoll. Daher möchten wir uns auch bei allen Bedanken. Bei unseren wundervollen Kunden, bei unseren Vertriebspartnern und bei allen konstruktiven Kritikern, die uns haben wachsen lassen als Menschen und Unternehmen.
Danke an jeden, der Teil unserer Reise im Jahr 2025 war.

Electric Forward Fold is available now for the Series 5! Enjoy the comfort of electric recline while still allowing the chair to fold into a neat, compact size.

When folded, the Series 5 measures just 58cm (H) x 65 (W) x 86 (L) - small enough to fit into tight spaces without compromising performance or comfort.

Last night was the premiere of Race Across Europe in a Series 5 - 2025!

What started as just an idea to send some Series 5 users racing across Europe turned into something bigger than any of us at FOL could have imagined.

So many wheelchair users are put off travelling, and when you see so many negative stories online about how hard it is to travel with a wheelchair, it's easy to see why.

Alex wanted to show accessible travel, and particularly travel with a powered wheelchair, in a
new light, and make a fun competition over what is quite a stressful experience for many people.

The idea was born in April this year, and Alex wanted it to happen in the summer. I don’t think the team fully knew what they were saying yes to - but we all made it happen!

The team stretched far beyond the Freedom One Life team. Over 30 people were involved in making this project a success, as well as our incredible sponsors. A huge thank you again to everyone.

The four incredible people who took part in the competition each brought something completely unique to the project, and it was a real joy to see how they have grown since the race and the impact it has had on them.

We would love to do this again, bigger and better next year, and for that, we need more sponsors and a bigger team. So if you can, when the final film releases, please watch, share, and send us your thoughts. Every bit of engagement genuinely helps!
