Dreaming of a relaxing holiday or a weekend getaway? For wheelchair users, one of the most common questions is:
Can I take my reclining power wheelchair with me when I travel?
The answer: Yes—you can. And not only that, you can do it comfortably and in style.
Let’s explore how modern reclining electric wheelchairs—especially lightweight carbon fibre ones—can make travel easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
Why Travel With a Reclining Power Wheelchair?
A reclining wheelchair gives you the ability to lean back, redistribute weight, and relax during long trips. Whether you’re navigating airports, going on road trips, or just sightseeing, the recline function offers relief for your back, posture, and comfort.
Combine that with carbon fibre materials, and you’ve got a wheelchair that’s:
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Foldable
- And incredibly travel-friendly
Want proof? Check out our carbon fibre power wheelchair—designed specifically for modern lifestyles.
Is It Airline-Approved?
Most airlines now accommodate electric and powered wheelchairs, including reclining ones. The key is:
- Checking battery type (usually lithium-ion is fine)
- Letting the airline know in advance
- Detaching or securing components like joysticks and additional batteries
Our carbon fibre electric wheelchair meets these travel standards and folds easily for smoother airport handling.
Features That Make It Holiday-Ready
Lightweight Build
Thanks to carbon fibre, the chair is easy to lift, store, and transport—perfect for car boots, hotel transfers, or plane cargo.
Long-Lasting Battery Life
No one wants to be searching for a power outlet during holiday fun. Our wheelchairs come with optional additional batteries for extended adventures.
Comfort on the Go
The recline feature lets you relax at the beach, the park, or in the hotel lobby. Add an extra cushion or armrest cover for even more comfort.
Must-Have Accessories for Your Holiday
Travel is easier when you’re fully prepared. Consider these wheelchair accessories before heading out:
- Extra cushion – for long sightseeing hours
