Description

Heavy-Duty Bariatric Electric Wheelchair – 250kg Capacity

At Gilani Mobility, we believe a wheelchair should fit the person, not the other way around. Our heavy-duty bariatric electric wheelchair is a motorised, plus-size mobility solution built for comfort, stability, and independence, with a generous weight capacity of up to 250kg.

Designed for larger and heavier users across New Zealand, this powered wheelchair pairs a reinforced frame with everyday usability — so getting around the home, the shops, and outdoors is effortless rather than a strain.

Comfort and control built in

The wheelchair features adjustable handles for support and comfort, with handlebar width you can set to your preference. An easy-to-use joystick puts smooth, intuitive control at your fingertips, so you can move confidently indoors and out.

Built for stability on all terrains

This heavy-duty motorised wheelchair is suited to a range of terrains, with solid rubber wheels that support the extra weight capacity and deliver long-lasting, reliable stability over footpaths, ramps, and uneven ground. Note that safe working capacity can vary with surface and incline.

Bariatric Electric Wheelchair FAQs

What is the difference between a bariatric wheelchair and a regular wheelchair?

Bariatric wheelchairs have wider seats, reinforced frames, and much higher weight capacities than standard chairs. Most standard wheelchairs are rated from around 110kg to 160kg, and lightweight chairs lower again — typically 90kg to 110kg. Our bariatric electric wheelchair supports up to 250kg, with extra seat width and stability built for larger users.

How do I know if I need a bariatric wheelchair?

As a general guide, if your weight is close to or above the limit of a standard wheelchair, or you’d be more comfortable with a wider, more supportive seat, a bariatric model is the safer choice. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we’ll help you match the right chair to your needs.

What weight can this electric wheelchair support?

It supports up to 250kg, with a 60cm wide seat. Safe working capacity can vary with terrain and inclines, so steeper or rougher ground reduces the effective limit. If you’ll regularly use slopes, ask our team for guidance before ordering.

Is this a good electric wheelchair for a heavier or plus-size person?

Yes. It’s designed specifically for larger users who need more space, support, and stability than a standard powerchair provides. The reinforced frame and solid rubber wheels are built to carry the extra weight reliably over the long term.

Can it be used outdoors and on different terrain?

Yes. The solid rubber wheels and heavy-duty frame suit a range of terrains — footpaths, ramps, and uneven outdoor ground — as well as everyday indoor use. Weight capacity varies with surface and incline, so very steep ground should be approached with care.

Is the seat width adjustable?

The seat width on this model is 60cm. The handles are adjustable for comfort and support, and the handlebar width can be set to your preference. If you’re unsure whether the dimensions suit you, contact us before ordering and we’ll help you check the fit.

Do you offer other bariatric or heavy-duty wheelchairs?

Yes. Alongside this electric model we offer heavy-duty manual bariatric wheelchairs in different weight capacities. Browse our electric wheelchair range or contact our team to compare options.

Do you deliver bariatric wheelchairs across New Zealand?

Yes. We ship NZ-wide with free delivery, and offer remote phone and email support to help you choose the right chair and get set up.
