Whether you’re navigating your home, running errands, or traveling, we have an electric wheelchair to support your independence and mobility.
Choosing the Right Electric Wheelchair
Selecting the right electric wheelchair involves considering several key factors. First, assess your primary use: will you use it mostly indoors, outdoors, or for travel? For indoor use, prioritize models with a tight turning radius and compact dimensions. For outdoor use, look for wheelchairs with robust suspension, larger wheels, and sufficient battery range for longer trips. Weight capacity is another critical consideration—ensure the wheelchair can safely support your body weight. Comfort features like adjustable seating, cushioning, and footrests are also important, especially for extended use. Finally, consider portability; if you travel frequently, a lightweight, foldable model may be ideal. Our team at Galenus Medical is here to help you evaluate these factors and find the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
FAA Compliance for Electric Wheelchairs
For those who travel by air, FAA compliance is a crucial consideration. Many electric wheelchairs in our selection are designed to meet FAA standards for air travel, particularly regarding battery safety. Most of our models feature lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly approved for air travel when they meet specific watt-hour (Wh) limits—typically 300 Wh or less for a single battery or 160 Wh for spares. These batteries are often removable, allowing you to detach them for carry-on storage while the wheelchair frame is checked as luggage. Always check with your airline for specific requirements, but our FAA-compliant electric wheelchairs are designed to make travel smoother and more accessible.
Battery Wattage and Wheelchair Charging
Battery wattage is a key factor in the performance of electric wheelchairs. Our models typically feature lithium-ion batteries ranging from 100 to 300 watt-hours (Wh), balancing power and portability. Higher wattage batteries often provide longer travel distances but may be heavier, while lower wattage options are lighter and better suited for travel. Charging is straightforward—most electric wheelchairs come with a standard charger that plugs into a regular household outlet. A full charge typically takes 6-8 hours, though some models offer fast-charging options. We recommend charging overnight and avoiding complete battery depletion to extend battery life. Dual-battery designs are also available in some models, offering extended range and flexibility.
Distance Range of Electric Wheelchairs
The distance range of electric wheelchairs varies depending on the model, battery capacity, terrain, and user weight. Our selection includes options with ranges from 10 to 20 miles on a single charge under optimal conditions. Lightweight models designed for travel often offer around 10-15 miles, ideal for short trips or daily use. Heavy-duty models, built for more demanding use, can achieve up to 20 miles or more, depending on factors like speed, weight load, and terrain. Flat, smooth surfaces maximize range, while hills or rough terrain may reduce it. We provide detailed range specifications for each model to help you choose one that matches your daily needs.
Standard vs. Heavy-Duty Electric Wheelchairs
Electric wheelchairs come in standard and heavy-duty varieties to suit different needs. Standard electric wheelchairs are typically lighter, with weight capacities up to 250-300 pounds, and are designed for everyday use in homes, offices, or light outdoor environments. They often feature a compact frame and a tighter turning radius for maneuverability. Heavy-duty electric wheelchairs, by contrast, are built with reinforced frames and more powerful motors, supporting weights up to 400 pounds or more. These models offer enhanced durability, stronger suspension, and often a longer range, making them ideal for users needing extra support or those navigating varied terrains like gravel or grass. Both types are available in our lineup to ensure all users find a reliable option.
Wheelchair Sizes: Standard Width, Seat Height, and Footrests
Electric wheelchairs come in various sizes to accommodate different body types and environments. Standard seat widths typically range from 16 to 20 inches, with 18 inches being the most common for average adult users. Seat heights vary, generally between 18 and 22 inches from the floor without footrests. With adjustable footrests attached, the overall height and leg positioning can be customized for comfort, typically adding a few inches to the setup. For users concerned with small doorways, such as those measuring 28 inches wide, we offer compact models with total widths as narrow as 23-25 inches, ensuring easy navigation through tight spaces. Always measure your doorways and key areas to confirm fit, and our team can assist with precise specifications.
Folding Wheelchairs for Transport
For those needing portability, folding electric wheelchairs are an excellent option. These models are designed to collapse quickly and easily, often in seconds, making them ideal for transport in cars, SUVs, or even airplanes. Lightweight folding wheelchairs in our collection can weigh as little as 37.5 to 50 pounds, fitting compactly into most vehicle trunks. Some feature removable batteries and foldable frames for even easier storage. Whether you’re traveling locally or long-distance, these folding electric wheelchairs offer convenience without sacrificing functionality, allowing you to maintain mobility on the go.
Manual vs. Automated Reclining Wheelchairs
Electric wheelchairs may offer reclining features, available in manual or automated designs. Manual reclining wheelchairs require the user or a caregiver to adjust the backrest by hand, typically using a lever or mechanism. This option is simpler and often more affordable but may require assistance for operation. Automated reclining wheelchairs, on the other hand, use powered controls to adjust the backrest and sometimes the leg rests, offering greater independence and ease. These models are ideal for users who need frequent repositioning for comfort or medical reasons, such as pressure relief. Both types are available, allowing you to choose based on your needs and budget.

We love this power chair. When we got it I checked all of the bolts and nuts to make sure they were all tight and only a couple of them were a little loose. I was trying to decide if I was going to send it back because in the description it said that it would do a 12 degree incline max. Our ramp is 7.5 so I figured it would work. I also liked that Rubicon is here in the US and is a US company. The chair does say made in China – but anyway. When I looked at the manual is said that 6 degrees was the max incline it would handle. I had it all packaged ready to go back and I decided to call Rubicon and ask them. they were great. they got back to me right away. I thought I had bought from them directly through Galenus Medical , but looked closer at my invoice – and it was a different company selling Rubicon. But they didn’t care, they helped right away and told me that it should be fine for our ramp and if not to send it back to them. So, we tried it , and yes it works great. I like the fact that it is foldable and easy to store. We really like the footprint and we have tried it outside on several different surfaces – and it seems to work really well. My husband is just under 200 lbs – but it’s rated for 300 lb – maybe at that weight it would be slower- i don’t know. The joystick takes a bit to get used to because it is very sensitive, but someone complained that the slowest speed was too fast, Once you get used to the joystcik you can literally crawl if you want to. And it is pretty peppy even up the hill on our street. Also, one of the foot rest clips got a couple of pieces out of it.- when it fell on the floor. They sent me two new clips immediately. So, they have been really great and very responsive. I would definitely buy from them again. Our only suggestion would be to make the anti-tip supports in the back about a 1/2 in to 3/4 of an inch shorter. they are not adjustable and They do get caught sometimes – like on our speed bumps on our street and on one spot on our ramp. But other than that – great.

We purchased this wheelchair for my husband. He can walk, but The number of steps he can do each day is limited. He uses this wheelchair only on days where we know there will be a lot of walking. We bought it in January 2024. We did not put it together until February. We used it once twice to test it out in February and March. On one of those two trips, the metal from the foot holds broke, and so we had to find a way to keep the footholds from swinging out. Then we used it in April for a week – long vacation in New York City, and it did great—went everywhere and held a charge for most of the day, But it did run out of power a couple of times and I really wish that we had a second battery because it does take a while to charge.Since then, we have only used it occasionally. I would say a total of 6-8 times since April vacation. The last time it worked was July—it was used for a day-long event. We brought it home, charged it and then in August, took it with us to a museum and the motor had stopped running. We have tried everything to figure out why the motor is not running, But we cannot troubleshoot the problem. The power turns on, But the chair will not go. I estimate that we got 20 days use out of this chair.It was really great when it worked. We stored it in a dry, warm place and took good care of it, and were careful when transporting it, so I don’t know why it stopped working. I am disappointed.

I have so many positive things to say about this chair. I was so worried because some of the reviews but rest assured this is a quality chair that will get you mobile again quickly!! I have been to Disneyland all day and the battery indicator didn’t even budge. The controls are very smooth and responsive. There is no delay to learn. Th joystick is comfortable and can be moved on with side.I’m currently using this chair on a trip to New York. It handled the airport with ease and upansn down the streets of Manhattan, the subways and even took it off the beaten path on grass. There wasn’t a situation the chair didn’t take. Battery life is amazing.The only downside – I wish the seat was a tiny bit wider. I ordered a memory foam seat pad for added comfort. The directions that came with the chair were wrong but customer service was very responsive. I have one little piece on the footrest that busted on my trip so hopefully they can get me the part right away.

This is a beautiful looking wheelchair, though I haven’t even opened the box. I ordered it because it looked like it had great shock support and since I can no longer hike, my favorite thing, I envisioned taking this and my trusty camera down a flat trail. However, it is so heavy I could not even move the box. It’s pretty industrial. I appreciate the looks and description, but failed to take the weight into account. There has to be a happy medium somewhere. It arrived quickly and I hope they can come and pick it up for the return because it won’t even go in a car. Thanks for trying Rubicon.

This wheelchair is a very good product I bought one for my mother that she enjoys it very much I sure wish that the leg rests were fully metal instead of plastic where they grip onto the wheelchair. Although I rate this product a 10 out of 10
