June 27, 2024 – After years of success with the original Mobby 1.1 and Mobby 2, used globally across airports, hospitals, and even leisure venues like theme parks and museums, we’re proud to introduce a new variation. The original Mobby chairs have earned their reputation for versatility and reliability, thanks to their robust yet straightforward design, which allows for a wide range of accessories and seating configurations.
However, one consistent piece of feedback we’ve received was the need for larger seating to accommodate more comfort for PRM passengers. We took this feedback to heart and set out to create the XL variants. These new models feature wider seats and larger backrests, all padded with soft, luxurious cushioning. While the XL versions trade off just a bit of compactness, the gain in comfort has made them an instant hit. Judging by the number of orders we’ve received from customers eagerly awaiting such a chair, we’d say it was a fantastic choice!
Did we pique your interest? These XL-variants each have their own product pages. You can also always contact Special Mobility for additional information, and even for obligation-free quotes.

Here are some frequently asked questions you might have regarding this news topic. For other questions you might have, you can refer to our FAQ-page.
The main difference lies in passenger transport capacity and storage efficiency.
- The Mobby 1.1 is better suited for multi-seat configurations where transporting multiple passengers is the primary focus.
- The Mobby 2 can be nested more deeply than the Mobby 1.1, allowing it to take up less space when storing multiple chairs. This makes transporting and storing larger quantities easier.
Both models are suitable for electric propulsion: the Mobby 1.1 can be combined with the e-Mobby, while the Mobby 2 is designed for use with the Mobby-Mover.
The XL models have been structurally adapted for heavier-duty applications and are certified accordingly. As a standard, our products comply with the relevant European directives. We are happy to review with you whether additional certifications are available for your specific region or application.
Yes, during the development of our XL and bariatric models, particular attention was given to enhanced comfort and accessibility. The seat surface, backrest, and spacing between the armrests are significantly wider than on the standard models.

Our XL models thus provide an appropriate and respectful solution for broader body types, without compromising stability or ease of use.
