Heavy Duty Electric Wheelchair 120kg Capacity with 15km Range for Patient Care

What really makes it worth buying is the foldable frame and the fact that you can actually lift it into a car boot without breaking your back — the net weight is 27kg, which isn't exactly light but a lot better than most powered chairs pushing 40kg or more. We've had buyers who were initially skeptical about the 120kg load capasity, but honestly, it handles that weight fine on flat ground, though you'll notice the 8° climbing limit is real so don't expect to tackle steep kerbs with it.

The dual 250W motors give you a combined 500W output, but teh real-world speed tops out at 6km/h which is basically a brisk walking pace, and that's actually perfect for indoor use or crowded pavements where you don't want to be zooming past people. Battery life is the thing everyone asks about next — the 24V12AH lead-acid pack gives you roughly 15km range, but that figure drops to about 10-12km if you're carrying a heavier user or doing a lot of stop-start driving on inclines. One thing I'll mention that most buyers don't think to ask: the clutch system on the motors lets you disengage them so you can push chair manually if the battery dies, and that's saved a few of our customers from being stranded.

The seat dimensions are 460mm wide by 420mm deep with a 500mm backrest height, which is a standerd size that works for most adults, but if you're looking for something wider you'd need to step up to a bariatric model. Powder-coated steel frame holds up well against rust in damp climates, and the waterpoof nylon upholstery means you can wipe down spills without worrying about the padding getting soaked — we've seen these chairs used in assisted living facilities where that's a daily concern.

Lead-acid batteries are the trade-off here because they're heavier and take longer to charge than lithium — about 6-8 hours for a full charge — but they're cheaper to replace and you can get replacements locally (usually within a week or so from most mobility shops). The 8-inch front wheels and 12-inch rear PU tires handle smooth indoor floors and paved paths fine, but they'll struggle on loose gravel or thick carpet, so it's better suited for hospitals, care homes, and well-maintained outdoor areas. We usually have stock on the TEW111APF, but the lead time on the optional lithium battery upgrade is around 20 days or so if you want that instead.

CE and FDA cerification are in place, which matters if you're sourcing for a care facility that needs compliance paperwork — our company provide the COA and SDS with every order, and the ISO13485 backing means the manufacturing process is audited regularly. Something else that comes up: the detachable footrest adjusts in height, so you can get the leg positioning right for different users, and the flip-up armrests make sideways transfers much easier for carers.
