According to Easyjet airport rules forbid them carrying a 95kg wheelchair that can't be split into separate parts weighing less than 60kg each & it can't be shipped as cargo as Easyjet don't do cargo.

I just find it hard to believe that a powered wheelchair is so badly designed that the batteries can't be easily separated from the rest of the chair.
