Description

Reclining Electric Wheelchair Built for Longer Days Seated

The Explorer Air reclining electric wheelchair lets you change position through the day instead of staying locked upright. The backrest reclines and the padded headrest adjusts to support your neck, which makes a real difference on long outings or during a rest at home. Because pressure shifts as you recline, sitting for extended periods stays far more comfortable.

This reclining wheelchair rolls on 6.5-inch solid front wheels and 11-inch solid magnesium alloy rear wheels, so there are no tubes to puncture. In addition, the seat measures a generous 45 cm across, so there is room to settle in properly.

A Power Wheelchair That Adjusts Around You

Twin 200 W brushless motors move this power wheelchair at a controlled 2 to 6 km/h while carrying up to 150 kg, and handle gradients of as much as 13 degrees. The upgraded LED controller shows battery level and speed, and the armrests and footrest adjust to suit your build rather than forcing you to adapt to the chair.

Practical details matter just as much. The lithium battery lifts out, so you can carry it indoors and charge it separately, and a full charge covers 15 to 20 km in four to six hours. At 18.5 kg without the battery, this electric wheelchair still folds down for the boot. Overall, it suits anyone who needs comfort and postural support without giving up portability.

Your questions, answered

What is the maximum user weight?
150 kg.
Can it go up kerbs?
It handles small lips and ramps, but like all power chairs it isn't built to climb a normal kerb. Use a dropped kerb or a ramp.
Can I claim it from my medical aid?
It depends on your medical aid and plan. We give you a quote with the NAPPI code and our practice number so you can check with your scheme, and most customers pay and then claim back. Medical aid help.

Delivery is free on orders over R1 500, anywhere in South Africa. Check the estimated arrival date near the Add to Cart button, or ask us about your area.
What warranty does it come with?
The frame has a lifetime warranty. In the first year we cover parts and labour, and in the second year parts. Repairs are done by our own technicians. Warranty details.
