Pulse Compact Indoor-Outdoor Wheelchair: Pulse SlimFold

Not every user needs a specialised heavy-duty or ultra-light chair — many just need one balanced wheelchair that handles both home and outdoor settings well. Pulse SlimFold is built as that all-rounder.

What is the Pulse SlimFold wheelchair? The Pulse SlimFold is a compact folding electric wheelchair with a sturdy steel frame, puncture-free tyres and two 24V 6Ah lithium-ion batteries. It weighs 25 kg without batteries, carries up to 120 kg and runs about 15 km per charge.

Who Should Consider the Pulse SlimFold

Pulse SlimFold suits users who:

Move between home and outdoor paths in a normal day
Want one balanced chair rather than separate indoor and outdoor chairs
Do not want to deal with flat tyres
Weigh up to 120 kg

How to Use the Pulse SlimFold

Pulse SlimFold is driven with a joystick and has electromagnetic brakes. Its puncture-free 7.5-inch front and 11.5-inch rear tyres never need air. It runs on two 24V 6Ah lithium-ion batteries with two 150 W motors, for a top speed of 6 km/h and about 15 km per charge. The steel frame folds with an X-fold design to about 66 x 38 x 72 cm.

Why Choose Pulse SlimFold Over a Specialised Model

If you do not need a heavy-duty chair for rough ground every day, and the lightest chair is not your top priority, Pulse SlimFold gives a sturdy, low-maintenance middle choice with a roomy 44 x 40 cm seat.

Flying with the Pulse SlimFold

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 SlimFold uses two 24V 6Ah lithium-ion batteries, which is about 144 Wh each. 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.
