Pulse Reclining Power Wheelchair: Pulse HomeCare Recliner

For users who spend long hours in a wheelchair, the ability to shift position without a full transfer isn't a luxury feature — it's a genuine comfort and pressure-relief need. Pulse HomeCare Recliner is built specifically around that requirement.

What is the Pulse HomeCare Recliner wheelchair? The Pulse HomeCare Recliner is a heavy-duty reclining power wheelchair. Its backrest leans back up to 160° at the touch of a remote, and it has a headrest, a steel frame that carries up to 140 kg, and a 24V 20Ah battery for about 15 km per charge.

Who Should Choose the Pulse HomeCare Recliner

Pulse HomeCare Recliner suits users who:

Spend long hours in the wheelchair each day
Need to change position for comfort or to relieve pressure, without being lifted out
Weigh up to 140 kg
Are in longer-term care or rehabilitation where rest matters as much as moving around

Daily Use of the Pulse HomeCare Recliner

The backrest leans back up to 160°, close to flat, at the touch of a remote, and a headrest supports the head and neck. The chair is driven with a joystick, two 250 W motors give a top speed of 6 km/h, and electromagnetic brakes hold it still when you stop. The roomy 44 x 44 cm seat and strong steel frame suit long days in the chair.

Why Choose Pulse HomeCare Recliner Over a Standard Model

A standard power wheelchair keeps the user in one fixed position all day. For anyone who needs to shift position for comfort, blood flow or pressure relief, that is a real limit. Pulse HomeCare Recliner solves it, while still folding with an X-fold design for storage.

Flying with the Pulse HomeCare Recliner

Airlines care about how much energy a wheelchair battery stores, measured in watt-hours (Wh). You work it out as volts × amp-hours. The Pulse HomeCare Recliner uses a 24V 20Ah lithium-ion battery, which is about 480 Wh. That is above the 300 Wh limit that airline safety rules set for a battery removed from a wheelchair. If the battery stays fitted in the chair there is no watt-hour limit, but you must get the airline's approval in advance.

Always tell your airline before you fly. Removed and spare batteries must go in the cabin with their terminals covered. You may carry one spare battery up to 300 Wh, or two spares up to 160 Wh each.
