Bangeran Thunderbolt Lightweight Folding Automatic Reclining Electric Wheelchair

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.
