Light Folding Electric Wheelchair Ergonomic Heavy Duty Adjustable Backrest 180 Kg Capacity Falcon

Description Falcon Light Folding Electric Wheelchair – Adjustable Reclining Backrest, 180kg, Ergonomic Design The Falcon is a light folding electric wheelchair with one feature that sets it apart from most travel powerchairs: a genuinely adjustable reclining backrest. You can adjust the back angle to suit your posture and comfort — ideal for users who spend longer periods in the chair or need to ease pressure and sit in a more supported position. If you have been looking for a reclining electric wheelchair in NZ that still folds and travels easily, the Falcon is built for exactly that. Powered by dual high-quality brushless motors and rated to 180kg, the Falcon combines ergonomic comfort, heavy-duty capability and a lightweight folding frame — whether for everyday use, outings or travel. See the Falcon in Action Why Choose the Falcon Adjustable reclining backrest – set the back angle for posture, comfort and pressure relief Lightweight folding frame – 28kg in total (25kg without batteries), easy to fold and transport Heavy-duty 180kg capacity – strong and durable without the bulk Airline-friendly – air-travel certified with removable quick-release lithium batteries All-terrain capable – larger rear wheels handle paved paths, grass, gravel and uneven ground Left or right-hand joystick – removable controller suits both right- and left-handed users The Adjustable Backrest Advantage Most folding electric wheelchairs have a fixed back, which can be uncomfortable over longer periods. The Falcon’s adjustable reclining backrest lets you change the back angle to support better posture, reduce fatigue and sit more comfortably — a feature usually found only on larger, non-folding chairs. It makes the Falcon a strong choice for anyone who values comfort and posture support but still needs a chair that folds into the car. Comfort & Practical Design Breathable, removable, machine-washable cushion for a clean, comfortable ride Flip-up armrests for easier transfers and access to tables and basins Shock-absorbing suspension for a smoother ride across surfaces Compact enough for restaurants, clubs, shopping centres and indoor use Fits through a standard doorway, with optional widening kits for extra seat width Under-seat storage bag with quick-release attachment Custom cushions and footrest modifications available on request Easy to Fold & Travel The Falcon folds simply by pulling the back bracket and opens just as easily. At only 28kg including batteries (25kg frame, 3kg batteries), it is light enough to lift and transport. It is air-travel certified — airlines require the removable batteries to be carried separately in the cabin, which the quick-release design makes straightforward.

A portable boot hoist lifts the folded chair from the pavement into your car at the press of a button — an easy way to keep it travel-ready without heavy lifting. Important Safety Notice – Battery Installation & Storage Ensure the battery is inserted correctly into the wheelchair. Do not install the battery upside down or in the wrong orientation, as this can cause serious damage, including risk of fire. Do not leave the battery inside the wheelchair if the wheelchair is left in a vehicle. Support & Warranty The Falcon ships New Zealand-wide and is covered by a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Support is provided remotely by phone and email — we do not have a physical outlet or on-site service in New Zealand. Frequently Asked Questions How does the Falcon’s adjustable backrest work? The backrest angle reclines and adjusts so you can set a comfortable, supported position. This helps with posture, reduces fatigue on longer trips and eases pressure — a feature usually found only on larger, non-folding chairs. Is the Falcon a true tilt-in-space wheelchair? No. The Falcon has an adjustable reclining backrest (the back angle changes). It is not a tilt-in-space chair, which tilts the whole seat and back together. For most users wanting comfort and posture support in a folding chair, the reclining backrest is the practical, lighter option. How much does the Falcon weigh? 28kg in total (a 25kg frame plus 3kg of batteries). The batteries are removable, so the chair is lighter to lift once they are taken out. Can I take the Falcon on a plane? Yes. The Falcon is air-travel certified and uses removable quick-release lithium batteries. Airlines require the batteries to be removed and carried in the cabin — always confirm your airline’s battery requirements before flying. What is the maximum user weight? The Falcon supports up to 180kg, making it a heavy-duty option despite its light folding frame. Will it fit through doorways and indoors? Yes. At 58cm overall width it fits through standard doorways and is compact enough for use in restaurants, shopping centres and other indoor spaces. Can I get funding for the Falcon in New Zealand? Some users may receive funding through ACC or Ministry of Health equipment funding (via Enable New Zealand or Accessable). We can provide a quote or invoice to submit to your funder. Note we are not a registered supplier with these bodies — approval and payment are decided by your funder. What support and warranty come with it? The Falcon ships New Zealand-wide with a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Support is provided remotely by phone and email; we do not have a physical outlet or on-site service in New Zealand.
