Magic Mobility are specialists in off-road powerchairs, with over 25 years’ experience designing chairs for users who want to go well beyond smooth pavements. The Magic 360 reflects that focus, combining genuine off-road capability with a more compact footprint than many heavy-duty outdoor chairs. Unlike traditional off-road powerchairs that prioritise size and brute force, the Magic 360 uses a true mid-wheel drive layout, allowing it to turn on the spot and remain surprisingly usable indoors.
Mid-wheel drive is not usually associated with off-road performance, but the Magic 360’s chassis design sets it apart. Independently articulated castor arms, each with adjustable coil suspension, help keep all wheels in contact with the ground as terrain changes. In practice, this improves traction, stability, and comfort over uneven surfaces. Power comes from 6 mph, 800 W 4-pole motors, which deliver noticeably stronger torque than conventional all-rounder powerchairs. For users who regularly encounter slopes, soft ground, or challenging outdoor routes, the difference in pulling power is immediately apparent.
The Magic 360 can be specified with three wheel types. Crossover wheels are the standard choice and offer the best balance between outdoor grip and indoor usability. Urban wheels are narrower and better suited to predominantly indoor or pavement use, while Off-Road wheels maximise traction for rough terrain but increase overall width. Notably, wheels can be swapped quickly using a single bolt per wheel, and an optional jack can be supplied. While this flexibility is useful, in most cases we find Crossover wheels suit the widest range of users, with Off-Road wheels best reserved for those who rarely use the chair indoors.
Seating and clinical flexibility
Seating on the Magic 360 is designed to cope with the demands of off-road driving while still offering prescriptive-level adjustability. A full range of powered seating functions is available, including lift, tilt, recline, and elevating leg rests. The powered lift module includes C-Me, allowing driving at walking pace when elevated so you can remain at eye level with companions. The chair supports a wide range of seating solutions, from Magic Mobility’s own rehab seating to third-party specialist systems.
With seat sizes starting from 12 × 12 inches, the Magic 360 can also be configured for children. Its high degree of adjustability allows it to grow with the user over time, making it a viable long-term option for both paediatric and adult users with complex postural needs.
Transport and daily practicality
The Magic 360 is fully crash-tested for occupied transport in a wheelchair-adapted vehicle and is compatible with Q’Straint and Dahl docking systems. A retractable docking pin can be specified and operated directly from the joystick, simplifying vehicle entry and exit. For users who need to hoist the chair, an optional fold-down backrest helps reduce height during loading.
Personalisation and accessories
A wide range of accessories allows the Magic 360 to be tailored to lifestyle as well as terrain. Popular additions include RAM mounts for phones, tablets, cameras, or cups, along with luggage racks, USB charging ports, and specialist accessories such as fishing rod holders. Three standard shroud colours — black, red, and blue — are available, with a much broader colour palette offered as an upgrade for those who want something more distinctive.
Overall, the Magic 360 is best suited to users who want serious off-road capability without sacrificing indoor manoeuvrability. It is not a small or lightweight powerchair, but compared to many outdoor-focused models it strikes an unusually effective balance between rugged performance, clinical flexibility, and everyday usability.
