Invacare Orion Metro Specification

Compact Class 3 Performance

At 127cm long, the Orion Metro is noticeably shorter than the 145cm Comet Pro, making it a useful choice if you want road-going performance but overall size and manoeuvrability are important considerations.

Its suspension and 11" wheels still provide the capability required for varied everyday surfaces, while its 550W motor provides confident performance.

Up to 33.5 Miles Range

Twin 50Ah AGM batteries provide a manufacturer-stated maximum range of 54km – approximately 33.5 miles.

This gives the Orion Metro impressive scope for everyday travel despite its more manageable dimensions.

Intelligent Safety Features

Like the larger Orion Pro and Comet models, the Metro incorporates automatic speed reduction around bends, helping provide more controlled cornering.

It also features a bright automatic brake light, hand brake and a two-step disengaging lever designed to prevent accidental freewheeling.
