New Addition to the Range
Freedom One LifeSeries 5.
The powerchair built for real life — indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between.
Now available through Steering Developments.
One chair.
No compromises.
Most powerchair users end up with two chairs — one for indoors, one for outdoors. The Series 5 replaces both. It handles tight shop aisles and steep kerbs, gravel paths and public transport, without asking you to plan your day around what your chair can or can't do.
Designed by a powerchair user, tested over 50,000 km across 70+ countries. Every detail exists for a reason.
Explore the Series 5
Long range battery
Go further without thinking about range.
The Series 5 delivers up to 40km — significantly more range than standard powerchair batteries. Day trips, commutes, long walks in the park: get out and stop counting the kilometres.
Speed & control
Fast enough to keep up. Precise enough to stay safe.
A top speed of 12km/h means you can keep pace with walking companions, catch a bus, or simply get out of the rain. Responsive joystick control keeps you confident on any surface.
Comfort & adjustability
Comfortable all day. Adjustable on the go.
A range of seat sizes and powered seating options let you dial in the perfect position — whether at your desk, in a restaurant, or halfway up a hill.
Comfort & support
Raised leg rests. Built for all-day comfort.
The Series 5 can be fitted with a powered raised leg rest for pressure relief, posture management and everyday comfort — whether you're at home, at work or on the move.
True hybrid
capability.
One chair shouldn't force a choice between indoor usefulness and outdoor performance. The Series 5 gives you both — tight spaces indoors, kerbs, gravel, mud and uneven ground outdoors.
Kerb climbing
Handles standard kerbs confidently — no pre-planning required.
All-terrain tyres
Gravel, grass, mud and cobbles tackled without drama.
Indoor precision
Tight turning circle for corridors, shops and busy spaces.
Safety certified
Medical device certified. Responsive braking. Stable geometry.

What Series 5 owners say
Real feedback from real users across all kinds of terrain and lifestyle.
“I've used it in mud, in snow, in sand, up hills, walking the dog, on a film set, in pubs, at the gym, and through airports. The customer service is incredible.”
Michael & Naomi
“Honestly this chair made me feel so… able. Able to enjoy my life rain or shine without my disabilities holding me back. I'm so happy!”
Chloe
“Great on uneven pavements. The seat is very comfortable — I have back issues so got the lumbar support which is a godsend. Love that the charger is built in.”

Common questions
Anything we haven't answered? Get in touch with the SD Motion team directly.
Can I try it before committing?
Yes. Steering Developments will be hosting a series of dedicated demo days at various locations. Register your interest to be among the first to receive updates and demo day details.
Is it approved for public transport?
Yes. The Series 5 is crash-tested to ISO 7176-19 and approved for buses, trains and aircraft — with simple battery isolation for flights.
How does it compare to a mobility scooter?
A powerchair offers far greater postural support, a tighter turning circle for indoor use, and is the better choice for frequent or full-day use. The Series 5 adds outdoor capability that most powerchairs can't match.
What customisation is available?
Colour, seating type, cushion options, armrests, footrests and accessories including phone holders, bags and cup holders. Full guide available on request.
Try it for yourself.
Free of charge.
