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.

I got this for my 80 year old father who we also have a transport chair for. He can walk, but isn’t a great walker and definitely no long distances or he complains like crazy. It’s getting difficult for my mom to push him around in the transport chair. My dad is a pretty good driver with theme park ECVs, so I picked this up during prime days at a great discount. We get stopped a lot by folks wanted to know what chair it is. Not sure if it’s because of its form factor or because it’s bright orange. Does make him easier to spot in a crowd since he has more independence and speed than when he’s on foot. But that also means I have to keep more of an eye on him since he’s pretty fast and will often lead the way when he’s not sure where we are supposed to be going. :)This chair is lightweight, fits in my parents’ EV sedan standing up when I take out the bottom parcel shelf in the trunk. My mom has a hard time putting it in, but she can lift it out herself on a good day. It’s hefty for me – but I can get it in and out of trunk easily (it’s a higher lift for me since we are using a sedan trunk).We have travelled with it on a plane without issues. Airlines always ask about the battery size when we gate check it – so I write all that info down in a note that I keep on my phone so I have the info ready when needed. You can’t bring more than 300 watts of battery on the plane. The battery that came with our chair is 144 watts. So you can bring two of them with you on the plane. Battery isn’t super heavy. I think it’s around 3 lbs each. I detach the battery and joystick and put them into a backpack for the plane.I purchased an extra battery just in case – but we haven’t had to use it yet. We also haven’t taken it to a theme park all day yet. That will be next test for battery life. But I love that it’s possible to manually push the chair if the battery dies.I also looked at lightweight scooters – but I’m so happy that I went with this chair instead. It folds up substantially smaller than a scooter (which I think folds up more like a larger stroller – plus usually needs to be disassembled to fit into a sedan). This chair fits in their trunk without disassembly. I will sometimes remove the joystick but that’s super easy and quick. The turn radius is so much better than a scooter. My dad can usually drive straight into an elevator and then can turn around inside with very little extra space to get out.It is a little speedy for a senior. LOL. I had him on speed 2 (2 dots) and felt he was doing very well. I increased the speed to 3 dots and he didn’t drive as well. It seemed to be more difficult for him to maneuver in tighter spaces and hallways. I turned it back to 2 dots and he was back to being an excellent driver.Definitely the best thing I have bought all year. Gives my dad some independence. Frees up my mom to not have to push him. Small, lightweight, easy to use. Very happy!

This wheelchair / scooter is great! My 85 year old mother has a hard time walking longer distances on uneven ground. She loves to watch her great grandchildren play their various sports. It was getting to the point that she had to miss some games because of the location and distance. Now she can go to everything again and it makes her so happy. This is a well constructed, fairly lightweight, easy to fold and operate electric wheelchair. The batteries last long enough to do most anything. It comes with 2 batteries so if one runs out there is always the backup that stores right on the chair. This is very comfortable and the price is great for everything you get.

Pretty chair, but after setting it up & charging the batteries, following the manual to the letter & troubleshooting per their website…the damn thing won’t power up. The battery light turns on, but then the control panel won’t turn on at all. So, immediately my father sits disappointed & once again left with a piece of crap that got his hopes of getting out of the house up only to crash right down. THANKS A LOT! Tried to contact their “dedicated support” only to find out they only keep Pacific weekday hours. Not so dedicated to supporting their disabled customers who bought into the hype. Extremely sad to watch his spirit just get wrecked when I had to tell him we couldn’t make it work.

This is my second ultra-light, folding electric wheelchair. Generally, the Superhandy far excels the chair I used for five years before this purchase. The rechargeable batteries of my previous chair finally died, and that brand was too obs for me to find replacement batteries. One of the reasons I chose the Superhandy brand is that Superhandy has been on the market long enough (and with a diverse enough product line) that odds are strong I’ll be able to find replacement parts in the future if needed.This chair’s design is excellent, much more stable, and much better thought-out than my previous brand of chair. When opening the chair, you feel the sides of it almost lock open in a very satisfying way. The batteries last many hours and charge quickly, and the seat cushion is very comfortable. It folds up to approximately the size of a carry-on suitcase, and is weighs as advertised, making it possible to lift if necessary. I use a portable 3’ ramp to roll it in and out of our minivan on its own power.One minor gripe is that the footrests lack a back to keep one’s feet clear of the front wheels, but I quickly got in habit of resting my feet far enough forward to clear the front wheels. A second minor gripe is that the chair doesn’t easily spin left and right on its own power, without some forward or backward movement. My previous chair spun left and right without any forward/backward direction needed.The only thing which kept me from giving a 5 star review is the acceleration from zero. My previous chair gradually accelerated from zero. This chair almost lurches from a stop, requiring the user to be Very Careful. I’ve bumped into walls more often with this, compared to my previous chair. I’m sure I will get used to it, but I know that the engineering can be improved in this area.Overall, I’m VERY pleased and highly recommend this chair to others, so long as the user can be careful with acceleration. I could not recommend it for someone with cognitive impairment.

Broken joystick
1st day was great light and easy to pit together Not as responsive as I would like but acceptable for the price. UNFORTUNATELY the second day the joy stick came off in my hand I’ve tried to inform someone about it but can’t get anyone to respond to my problem. I’m now trying to buy a replacement as Galenus Medical just want me to send back for refund.i would then be without a wheelchair so can’t do that would appreciate if someone could help me
