At Medics Supply, we make mobility a top priority, helping you keep living your life to the fullest with the independence only an electric wheelchair can offer. Each features a high-power motor and a waterproof joystick for easy maneuvering, as well as an EPBS brake system for gently slowing down and coming to a complete stop.

Durability

We want to ensure lasting durability and exceptional functionality for any user of our electric wheelchairs. Our wheelchairs hold a weight of 250 pounds to 440 pounds, depending on the model you select.

Portability

Our electric wheelchairs are built with high-quality aluminum alloy, which allows the chair to be both highly durable and extremely lightweight. When not in use, our electric wheelchair models can be folded compactly for easy portability or storage. Weighing just 50 pounds, our chairs can easily be carried into any vehicle or taken on a plane, making them perfect for traveling.
