Electric Wheelchair with Reclining High Backrest, Headrest and Elevating Leg Rests

Independence matters. For people who have difficulty walking because of stroke, spinal conditions, arthritis, advanced age, muscular weakness or long-term illness, a wheelchair that moves at the touch of a joystick can make the difference between staying in one room and being able to join family meals, visit a mosque, go to the garden or travel to appointments. The Electric Wheelchair offered by Advanced Medical Equipment combines powered drive with a supportive high backrest, a padded headrest, adjustable leg rests and a hand-held remote controller, as shown in the product photo. It also folds, which helps with storage and transport in a car.

Comfort and Support Features

The chair in the photo has a tall black backrest with a separate padded headrest, which supports the neck and head for users who cannot hold their head upright for long. A cushioned seat, padded armrests and elevating leg rests with calf pads let users change posture and rest their legs on a raised support, which can be helpful for people who experience swelling or stiffness. Many chairs in this reclining electric category also allow the backrest angle to be adjusted so that the user can sit upright for eating and lean back for rest, though the exact mechanism depends on the model. Please confirm the recline method with us before purchase.

Comfort is not only a matter of cushions. A seat that is stable, a backrest that matches the user's trunk height, armrests at the correct level and footrests that hold the feet securely all help to prevent pressure sores, back pain and fatigue. Users who sit for many hours a day should also change position regularly and, where advised by a clinician, use a pressure-relieving cushion.

Powered Drive and Joystick Control

The wheelchair has a joystick controller mounted on the armrest, so a user with reasonable hand function can drive, steer and stop without pushing the wheels. Moving the joystick forward, back, left or right drives the wheelchair in that direction, and releasing it brings the chair to a stop. A second wireless remote controller, shown in the photo as a round handheld unit with orange buttons, lets a caregiver operate or position the chair from the side. Chairs in this class use two rear drive motors with electromagnetic brakes that engage when the joystick is released, which holds the chair in place on slopes and prevents rolling.

Typical Technical Performance for This Class

Folding electric wheelchairs with a reclining backrest sold in South Asia commonly use two 250 W motors, a 24 V battery pack of about 12 Ah, a top speed of around 6 km/h, a range of roughly 15 to 20 km depending on weight, terrain and battery type, and a maximum user weight of about 100 to 120 kg. Frames are typically aluminium alloy or steel. Charging usually takes about 4 to 8 hours using a mains charger. These figures come from published specifications of comparable chairs such as the Evox WC-104 and Dayang models, not from a certified datasheet for this particular chair, so we ask buyers to confirm exact figures with us at order time.

Who Benefits from an Electric Wheelchair?

People who have limited stamina or weak upper-body strength find manual wheelchairs tiring, especially on ramps or rough ground. A powered chair removes that effort. It also reduces strain for caregivers, who no longer have to push the chair for long distances. Typical users include stroke survivors, people with spinal cord injury or neurological conditions, older adults with frailty, patients with severe arthritis or heart and lung conditions that limit exertion, and people with amputations or long-term weakness. Doctors and physiotherapists can advise which seating and controls suit each person.

Using the Wheelchair Safely

Always fasten the seat belt if one is provided, keep feet on the footplates, and drive slowly when turning or crossing uneven ground. Do not carry loads beyond the maximum user weight. Avoid steep ramps and wet or slippery surfaces. Switch the power off before getting in or out of the chair and engage the brakes. Never allow children to operate the chair unsupervised. When folding or unfolding, keep fingers away from hinge points. If the chair behaves unexpectedly, switch it off and contact us for assistance.

Battery Care and Charging

Battery care strongly affects range and lifespan. Charge the battery after every day of use and do not leave it fully discharged for long periods. Use only the charger supplied with the chair, and charge in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight and from flammable materials. If the battery pack is removable, you can charge it indoors without moving the chair. Keep the connector contacts clean and dry. If you will not use the chair for several weeks, charge the battery periodically so it does not deteriorate. Avoid exposing the battery to water, which is especially important during the monsoon.

Transport and Storage

A folding frame makes it possible to place the chair in the boot of a car, a microbus or a CNG-run vehicle with enough space. Because electric wheelchairs are heavier than manual models, it is wise to remove the battery, if the design allows, before lifting, and to use two people. Store the chair indoors and keep tyres inflated or checked as appropriate for the type of tyre fitted.

Buying Guide for Bangladesh

Electric wheelchairs in Bangladesh vary from basic folding models to reclining and stair-climbing versions. Online listings of folding electric wheelchairs commonly range from about BDT 65,000 to BDT 105,000, while heavy-duty or stair-climbing models cost more. Before you buy, ask about the motor type, battery type and capacity, maximum user weight, whether the backrest reclines and how, whether the leg rests elevate, whether a manual mode exists for pushing the chair without power, and what warranty covers the motors and battery. Also check whether spare parts such as tyres, joystick controllers, chargers and batteries are available locally.
