Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ByteTecpeak Lightweight Electric Wheelchair for Adults sits at number nine in this guide at £529.99 in black. It is one of five ByteTecpeak listings collected for the article, and on the page it is indistinguishable from the blue version sold at the same price: the same 20.5 kg, the same 12Ah/24V lithium battery, the same "500W combined motor power" and the same 4.2 stars from 60 reviews. Only the colour separates them.
The listing disagrees with itself on size, which is the more useful finding here. One field gives the dimensions as 56D x 88W x 88H cm, another gives 78 x 56 x 99 cm — the same chair, 32 cm wider in one figure and 11 cm taller in the other. The rating breakdown is odd too: it lists 100 ratings (67 five-star, 10 four-star, 12 three-star, 11 one-star) against the 60 reviews quoted in the headline. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it was collected, not from a test of our own.
How those 60 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“As my son said yesterday, "It looks so strong and well designed!" And the great thing is that now I can get this light powerchair in and out of my car just by myself. The weight of my previous mobility scooter had become too much for me. Another great advantage is the good client service. It arrived a few days later than expected and I was advised by postal letter with apologies and sweets and chocolate! That gives me confidence about any other contact I may need with this company. For the moment I'm thinking about buying a supplementary battery from them.”
Verified purchase“I had problem with the bracket at the back it had to go back they answered every message very quickly sorted the transport for the return quickly I couldn't fault them, in my experience that l had with them it was professional all the way.”
