Electric Wheelchair Products with Free Shipping and Standard 3-5 Day Delivery
At Galenus Medical, we offer a diverse selection of electric wheelchairs designed to meet a variety of mobility needs, from lightweight travel models to robust options for daily use. All electric wheelchairs come with the added benefit of free shipping and a standard delivery time of 3-5 business days, ensuring you receive your product quickly and conveniently. Our inventory includes options for different terrains, lifestyles, and user preferences, all crafted with durability, comfort, and ease of use in mind. 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.

You will like this one,but only if you do not have unrealstic expectations.It is kinda heavy, 0ver 60 lbs. But this is a added safety becasue it will not roll when you stop and turn off the power. Operating the joy stick will take practice and focus. For some this may be too hard to master. Excellent for small spaces! Just got mine but the more I use it , the more I like it! I make full use of the joy stick charger , charge it while sitting at my computer desk,which I spend most of my day. Cannot comment on parts or service yet. Though. But ease of use makes it a good choice.

I received my electric wheel chair in good time. Two days before the date it was supposed arrive. It was packed well and it took me a while to get it out of the box, but that was no big deal. After I got it out and opened it up I took the items from the bag under the seat. I noticed that I had ordered an S140 Next Generation chair, I can’t remember the name of the company, (Maritsa) but I got a different name and it wasn’t the one in the picture, but similar. The one I got was a Sonex. Another reviewer mentioned that she got a Rubicon instead of the one she ordered. Whatever. Anyway, I read the owners manual and it didn’t give a lot of detail. I’ve never owned a chair like this, so I was ignorant about how to use everything. In the video I watched several time the man who was demonstrating was outside by a lake. He showed how to charge the battery and showed the charger in his hand, he said nothing about having it plugged in while it was charging the chair. I thought that since there was a green light it would charge from the charger. Silly me. I also got a cable that I have no idea what it’s for. It has two prongs on one end and two more cables on the other end with two holes in each. I have read the manual twice and this item is never mentioned. I even went on their web site and there’s nothing that looks like it. Then there’s the seat. I weigh 250 lbs. being unable to walk more that a few steps hasn’t helped. This chair is advertised that it will support 330 lbs. Maybe if I was nine feet tall and had a skinny butt I could fit better. As it is, even though I’m 80 lbs. under the weight it will support, it’s a tight fit. I fit, but I wouldn’t want to sit in it all day. Who cares if it supports all that weight if you can’t fit in the seat. The seat is 18″ wide, 20″ would have been better. I’ll keep the chair because I can’t afford a bigger one, but I am a bit disappointed. Next I decided to be sure the batteries were charged up. Removing them wasn’t too bad, this chair has two batteries unlike the one shown in the video, and putting them back in was a nightmare. It took more than a half hour just to get them in the right place at the right angle to fit into the slot it had to go in. It wasn’t just a matter of pulling it out and pushing it back in as shown on the video. I’m learning to maneuver it around my apartment before I take it out for a test drive. Fingers crossed.

Update: the 360 turning radius is spot on! I have been using it on and off for two weeks now and still 100% happy. The battery indicator has not moved yet. I have had many complements on it as I ride it around. I am shocked how easy it is to open and close. I see weak and can do it.Got my chair today. So far it love it. Rolls very easy. Folds and unfolds supper easy. Removing the battery to charge was super easy or you can charge it by the arm.The seat and feet rest very comfortable. Feels very sturdy.The thing I was surprised with is, when it’s folded up it sets on four wheels even though they’re small it moves really easy. This is me moving it with one hand. This is a photo of the wheels and I do have some small rugs and it will go up over them, but using two hands The noise you hear is, the no flip stabilizers on the floor, as I was turning it with one hand and videoing it kind of leaned on one. It does not make this noise normally.BUY this one. It’s spot on with the joystick. Not catchy or anything. So easy to turn in a small and I mean small circle. I was able to turn around in this small kitchen with smooth non scary action. I posted a photo of my small kitchen of my park model I turned around In. Wow! Im so impressed.
