Pulse Lightweight Power Wheelchair: Pulse Premium Comfort & Pulse TravelMate

Between a heavy-duty all-terrain chair and an ultra-light travel model sits a genuinely useful middle ground: a wheelchair light enough to handle daily without a struggle, but capable enough for real outdoor use. That's the Pulse Premium Comfort and TravelMate.

What are the Pulse Premium Comfort and TravelMate? The Pulse Premium Comfort and Pulse TravelMate are folding electric wheelchairs with aluminium frames and a wide 50 cm seat. Pulse Premium Comfort (27 kg without battery) reclines up to 160° and has a headrest and suspension. Pulse TravelMate (23 kg) folds in seconds and rolls like a trolley. Both carry up to 120 kg and run about 15 km per charge.

Ideal For: Premium Comfort and TravelMate Users

The Pulse Premium Comfort and TravelMate suit users who:

Need a chair that is easier to lift and load than a heavy-duty model
Have a family member or carer who often moves the chair
Want a wide, comfortable 50 cm seat
Weigh up to 120 kg

Pulse Premium Comfort or Pulse TravelMate?

Pulse Premium Comfort (27 kg without battery) is the comfort model. Its backrest reclines up to 160°, nearly flat, for rest or care. It also has an adjustable headrest, flip-up armrests, suspension, amber indicator lights and anti-tip support, and runs on a 24V 12Ah battery.

Pulse TravelMate (23 kg without battery) is the travel model. It folds in seconds and rolls along like a trolley, with a breathable mesh seat and a 24V 10Ah battery.

Flying with the Pulse Premium Comfort and TravelMate

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 Premium Comfort and TravelMate use a 24V 12Ah battery (Pulse Premium Comfort) or a 24V 10Ah battery (Pulse TravelMate), which is about 288 (Pulse Premium Comfort) and 240 (Pulse TravelMate) Wh. That is under the 300 Wh limit that airline safety rules set for a battery removed from a wheelchair, which makes air travel simpler.

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.
