A foldable electric wheelchair that includes an array of support frame members strategically joined together at hinge joint points to allow the support user seat, a back support frame, a main support frame and a lower support frame to be easily manually folded into an array that are substantially parallel in the same plane occupying a small volume. The electric motors are powered by a pair of batteries each of which is mounted inside hollow main frame support members out of the way to reduce the overall volume and weight of the electric wheelchair.
