Product Description
The Bangeran Thunderbolt Auto Recline is a folding electric wheelchair with a 180° power-reclining backrest you control from the digital joystick or the remote, so you can lean back for a rest or a nap without help. Its aircraft-grade aluminum alloy frame folds in 3 seconds to fit small cars, with a handle under the seat for lifting. Dual 250W motors, a top speed of 4 mph, up to 12 miles per charge on the standard 12Ah lithium battery (Extended/20Ah upgrade available), 60.45 lbs, and a 300 lb weight capacity.

- 180° power recline — Recline from the joystick or the remote and find the angle that relieves pressure and keeps you comfortable.

- 3-second fold — Folds to 20" × 25" × 30.5", with a lifting handle under the seat and double foldable footrests.

- Turn signals for outdoor safety — Plus seat belt, anti-tipping wheels and an intelligent electromagnetic brake.

Before You Buy — What You Should Know
Shipping: Ships free to the contiguous United States. Contact our team for estimated delivery timelines before ordering.
Airline travel: The Thunderbolt Auto Recline uses a lithium battery, and Bangeran states it is TSA/FAA compliant with the standard 12Ah battery. Some extended batteries are not airline compliant, so ask our team before flying with the 20Ah option, and confirm your airline's specific policies before travel.
Warranty: 6 months on the battery and joystick; 1 year on all other wheelchair parts.
Price & savings: No sales tax on any order, and we'll match any competitor's price.
Who It's For: Adults and seniors up to 300 lbs who spend long hours in the chair and want to recline independently at the push of a button. Reclining isn't right for every medical condition, so check with your healthcare provider. For a simpler mechanical recline, see the Thunderbolt; for up to 500 lbs, see the Mammoth EX Auto Recline.
Support: Our team can help with comparing the manual and automatic recline models, battery choice, airline travel questions, and headrests and tires. We've done the research. You make the decision.
FAQs
How do I recline the backrest?
On the joystick, hold the recline button for 2 seconds until "P1" appears, then move the joystick back and forward to adjust. On the remote, the recline button lowers the backrest and the trigger button underneath raises it.
Can I add a second battery?
No. It runs one battery at a time, but you can upgrade from the 12Ah to the 20Ah extended battery.
Where do I plug it in?
There's a charging port under the joystick and another on the battery; either one works.
How do I remove the battery?
It sits under the frame; release the safety clip and slide it out.
How long does the battery last?
A lithium-ion battery typically lasts about one to two years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever comes first.
