Aotedor Electric Wheelchairs for Adults,39 lbs Lightweight Power Wheelchair

My wife's condition has had her progress from a cane to a walker, to a mobility scooter, and now a powered wheelchair. I did a lot of research before settling on this purchase and we are extremely happy with the wheelchair. 1. It is easy to fold and is lightweight. It goes into the back of our car very easily. We have flown it to Europe and used it on cruise ships, where it is narrow enough to fit through a standard cabin door. On a recent cruise we had to tender (use a small boat) ashore. With some crew help my wife was able to step onto the boat while I simply folded the wheelchair and carried in on with one hand. 2. Comes with two batteries with 11 miles each. I don't ever expect to walk alongside for 22 miles (!) but it would be possible. The batteries (a little larger than a book) can be recharged on or off the wheelchair, which is really handy. 3. The motors can easily be put into neutral for manual pushing where that is occasionally better (eg. gangway on a ship). Not all models can. 4. Extremely manoeuvrable - can turn on a dime, very handy it tight spaces such as elevators or between tables in a restaurant. Every one of the above benefits was difficult or impossible with her mobility scooter. 5. Reviews mentioned excellent customer service, and they are right. The wheelchair comes with a complimentary tool kit for on-the-go maintenance (wrenches, Allen keys). This was useful for tightening the armrests which became a little loose after bumpy sidewalks in Europe. I stupidly lost the kit, but upon asking Aotedor the cost of a replacement kit, they are very kindly sending one gratis. 6. The wheelchair is comfortable and looks great! Most wheelchairs are a dreary black, but the white paintwork is very cheerful. After 6 months and lots of travel it is durable and still looks like new. 7. Other models can be bought for much more money, but the features on this make it good value for money. Do your research but come back to Aotedor. I highly recommend it.

Additional review, 9/27/25; five stars for service. Recently the right-side motor malfunctioned, rendering the wheelchair unusable. The company responded promptly to my request for service, but, since this apparently was an unusual and unexpected occurrence, had a number of questions so they could isolate possible causes. End result: they sent me a new motor. It was relatively easy to install and the chair is now great again. The company definitely earned five stars for its prompt, efficient, and courteous response to my needs. REVISED Wheelchair review – 5 star – ordered 8/30/23; delivered 9/8/23; posted 9/18/23; revised 9/19/23. I give this product 5 stars, but caution that the manual leaves out some important information that can make the initial setup longer and more frustrating than it has to be. Accordingly, this review is a bit longer in the hope that my comments and suggestions will save new users hours of frustration and effort. We purchased this item in anticipation of a 15-day cruise with eight port-calls in the Southern Caribbean. There’s no way my wife would be able to do all that walking. Thus the need for a powered wheelchair. Let’s begin with the positives. This unit comes with TWO Lithium batteries (most units have only one), thereby providing up to twice the distance/usage available from single-battery units and eliminating the worry about “battery memory” (you can look that up on the web). The seat width is 21 inches (versus 17-18 inches on most other units) and the chair can carry up to 330 pounds. It folds down easily to roughly the size of a large suitcase, thereby making it easier to transport and fit easily through the narrow doors on a cruise ship when folded. Based on our test runs inside and outside of the house, we agree with the positive reviews about ease of, and satisfaction with, handling, but we do recommend a lot of practice at lower speed settings. Admittedly, as expressed by others, connecting the batteries can be troublesome, but see my suggestions further on in this review. So, what are the negatives? Keep reading. I should mention at this point that I sent an advance copy of this review to the vendor’s email address given in the owner’s manual and received a prompt and courteous reply with no corrections to the “technical” information I present here. First-time setup of the wheelchair can be easy, but the instructions are not in the owner’s manual. Rather, I found a good approach in the videos accompanying a competitor’s product: 1) cut the packing tape on only one end of the shipping box; 2) lay the box on one side (be sure to save it in case you decide to return the unit); 3) grab the unopened end of the box and lift slowly to slide the wheelchair out; 4) stand the wheelchair up on its rear wheels and remove any packaging materials; 5) search carefully for and remove the three zip ties holding the chair closed. Now you can follow the instructions in the manual to unfold the chair quickly and easily. (It would have been good if the company had inserted a stand-alone instruction sheet for first-time setup that covered these points and others presented below.) Next, mount the controller on one of the chair arms as directed in the manual. Connecting the battery to the chair is not as easy as the manual indicates; in fact, it’s awkward and even difficult due to the positioning of the battery under the seat, the stiffness of the connecting cable, and the one-way-only fit of the the cable plug into the battery socket (there’s a groove on the plug that has to slide over a flange in the socket). So, try it this way: 1) remove the battery from its rack by following the directions given further on in the manual; 2) stand the battery on the end opposite the socket. Now you can see what you are doing and can more easily insert the plug into the socket. 3) Tighten the screw-cap to hold the plug firmly in the socket, then reinsert the battery into its rack. (Did you notice that the other battery is just sitting there in its rack doing nothing? That’s actually an advantage. Since the chair runs on only one battery at a time, the “spare” can either be charging off-line, or sit in its rack waiting to be used when the active battery runs down.) I should mention that disconnecting the active battery is easy without having to remove it from its rack. Now go to the controller, press the on/off button to turn the chair on, and watch the battery indicator above the on/off switch. (The manual doesn’t say anything about what follows in this paragraph, so I’m guessing, but it all seems reasonable until I’ve had the chair long enough to test it all out.) If the battery is fully charged, five lights will illuminate: red-amber-amber-green-green. I’m guessing that each light indicates a 20% charge level. If fewer than five lights come on, charge the battery as instructed in the manual before using it for the first time. Although lithium batteries do not suffer from “battery memory” and can be recharged at any level of depletion, research on the web suggests that optimal battery performance is obtained by waiting until the charge drops to around 40% (indicated by just the red and one amber light showing). That research also indicates that this is a good time to switch the batteries (so one battery can be charged off-line while the other is being used). Alternating the batteries in this fashion should result in the longest life and highest performance. Maybe the owner’s manual will be revised someday to provide this information and more to users. Although there is a locking lever to keep the chair open, there’s nothing to keep it closed when it’s folded. Therefore, after folding the chair for transport or storage, I wrap a luggage strap between the wheels and over the seat and footrest. When not in use, the strap stores nicely in the pouch under the seat. I also release the “tension lever” on the controller and swing it towards the center of the chair; otherwise it would stick up above the rest of the unit and be susceptible damage. This item is common sense, but it’s still worth mentioning: when stopped for a while (e.g., when sitting at a table), turn off the power so that accidental contact with the joy stick doesn’t jerk the chair unexpectedly. Finally, the chair comes with a cute little tool kit in its own little bag. It, too, stores nicely in the pouch under the seat. Unfortunately, there is no explanation of what tool is to be used wherever to fix whatever. Worse, there are no instructions for preventive maintenance. I hope these suggestions help. It’s a great chair, especially for larger users. ADDENDUM: 9-21-23 -- I just received an email from the company. They have added a FAQ section to their listing and will soon be revising the owner's manual, including the on-line version. The FAQ section contains contact information and some of the items (almost verbatim) from my review. I would say this takes care of many of the comments about lack of contact and product information, and speaks well about what can be expected by way of customer service.

I’m really happy with this electric wheelchair. It was easy to put together and the controls are very simple to use. The joystick responds well, it turns smoothly, and you can adjust the speed depending on where you’re using it. The seat and backrest are comfortable, and the chair feels sturdy without being too bulky. The footrest is a good size and the chair folds, which makes it easier to store or transport. So far it has worked great and is very easy to move around in. Definitely worth it.

Please note: this is a review on a model purchased in 2023. I'll start off by saying that this is a very well made chair. I bought this for my elderly mom so she could join us on our numerous outdoor activities. The chair cusion is very comfortable and it's roomy for her. She can sit in the chair for hours and enjoy sporting events or other indoor/outdoor activities. It does the trick most of the time but the front wheels aren't big enough to make it over large protruding thresholds at door entrances/exits at some public facilities. I end up pushing/pulling my mom in manual mode more often than she uses the power mode. The chair is HEAVY so it doesn't make it very easy to transport. I lift heavy things on a daily basis and getting this thing in and out of my SUV isn't the easiest task, so someone smaller than me would have a really hard time. My main issue with the chair is that it doesn't lock in the folded position, so transporting/lifting the chair is more difficult because the chair easily unfolds and can be very frustrating. I'm either going to get a ratchet strap or make some sort of locking mechanism for it. For the price, I feel like a locking feature while folded should've been incorporated into the design of the chair. The batteries do last a long time and the chair can go long distances on one charge per battery. The dual batteries are a very nice touch. The joystick is very sensitive as well, so the operator has to be careful to not accidentally knock the joystick while the chair power is on which my mom has done several times. Overall it is a solid chair and very comfortable to sit in for hours, but for over $1,000 (I paid $1700 back in 2023) there could be better features including a folded locking mechanism and beefier front wheels.

Love the chair. I have a jazzy jet 2 chair. Must weight 150 pounds(maybe more). This Aotedor is light. Folds instantly and unfolds instantly. Read some reviews saying it would not stay folded while unloading. Not my experience. The Jazzy was driven onto a carrier attached to the car’s receiver hitch. It stayed filthy with roadway dirt. This chair is soooo easy to load and unload and it stays CLEAN. Huge advantage. If you need a power chair like I do you do not need to spend time trying to clean one. This chair is comfortable. 6’1” 300 pound man. It is plenty fast. It is solid. No creaks or flexing. Adds to confidence while away from other transportation. 2 cons= 1st- the chair is not good on grass. Works but not even comparable to my jazzy2. 2nd- when you stop there is three or four feet of over travel before electric brakes lock you down. Jazzy is near instant. So, bottom line. Love this chair! I didn’t buy it to work in the garden and I was quick to become accustomed to the over travel. I Just read what I wrote. Let me explain over travel. On Jazzy I would travel full speed til I got to the end of a shopping aisle and release the lever where Jazzy would stop in three feet. That is abrupt. I liked it. Aotedor will stop in six feet. Now I reduce speed as I near the end then release and my chair stops. Much smoother. 99% of people using a power chair will like the Aotedor over the Jazzy because of its smooth operation. A word of caution. This chair is very quiet and will ‘sneak’ up on fellow shoppers. You may want to say “excuse me” as you approach to pass. It is funny (peculiar) that people will be startled by seeing a power chair that close. I have found people to be very accommodating if given notice. Anyway, I have been through 3 Jazzy chairs in 14 years. They are great chairs! However, I will not go back to such a heavy chair as long as Aotedor can present such value. I didn’t mention the 2 batteries. Very comforting to know you have a ‘reserve tank’ if your battery weakens. Good luck. Edit: I charged one of my batteries for six hours. Took it to Walmart. It DIED in 15 minutes!! I am surprised and a bit annoyed. I changed to second battery. Had not even charged the second battery since purchased. It showed full charge and got me back to my car. I have not contacted Aotedor as I haven’t found a number or email. I have used this chair three times in the twenty days I have had it. Two trips away from home drained the battery. Third trip drained it from full charge to dead in 15 minutes. If I can’t get a new battery it will be going back to Aotedor. Still love the chair but the batteries are expensive. Wish me luck with customer service. Thanks Edit: apparently I am not smart enough to charge a battery. On second attempt all went well. Did not call customer service as they were not needed. Batteries are strong and chair is still strong and quiet. 5 STAR chair! Edit: Bad News!!! Took my chair to Vegas. I got 7 miles of travel with both batteries. Not EACH,,,Both. That is not 25 miles however, 7 miles is a lot of travel and not,y complaint. Complaint: When you turn right or left the chair slows to less than half speed. Presumably for safety. Problem is if you are on a sidewalk that slopes down toward the road and gutter you steer a bit uphill to go straight. This causes the chair to cut its power by over half. Now you haven’t the power to go forward. I found myself coasting toward the road then powering uphill. Zigzagging down the sidewalk. Luckily, Vegas has very wide sidewalks. Consider, I am 6’1” and a bit over 300 pounds. Secondly, the little motors are now quite loud. I suspect all of the chairs have the same problem. It is enough of a problem for me that I will be researching chairs once again. I now know what to ask. This chair is fine on flat surfaces. It is very comfortable for a 7 mile ride. It ‘probably’ works well for the 225 pound man. For me,,, the “safety” switch for turns needs to be disconnected. The chair becomes quite a nuisance on sloped surfaces. On the brighter side,,,,I found it necessary to board an escalator and found it easy to hold the chair on the tread below me. Used many escalators instead of the elevators provided throughout Vegas. Note: Ceasars Palace is NOT ADA Compliant. Or maybe it is yet, I found myself dragging my chair up and down steps in four places. They had elevators with a phone to call an operator. No one ever answered the phones. Edit: Warning!!! These folks delete the parts of your review they do not like! They require that I video my problem with the chair. I am old and disabled. I cant create content for these people. I just wanted a working chair for the money I spent. May or may not happen with Aotedor. Buyer beware!

I ordered this product on September 7th specifically because it was supposed to be delivered on September 11. I needed it on the evening of the 11th, and other products also promised delivery by the 11, but I chose this one from this company. Today is the 11th at 6 PM ET. No package. No notification from Aotedor. No notifications from Amazon. When I went online, I saw on the Amazon iPhone app that the package was delayed for unspecified reasons and would now be delivered 5 days after the promised date, on September 16. When I went to the Amazon website, there was different information, promising delivery on either the 11th or the 12th. Of course, I have little faith that it will appear in a timely manner. Customers make decisions based on many factors, and availability is certainly one of them. So far, this is a one-star experience only in that it is impossible to give zero stars -- a number commensurate with the number of products Aotedor has delivered as promised.

Let me start by saying that I highly recommend this motorized wheelchair. I will try to give a clear detailed review in case it might help someone else make their decision. I understand that it's hard to spend this much money on something and the only thing you have to base your decision on is reviews from other people who have used the product. I didn't expect to need a wheelchair anytime soon, yet here I am. I had a catastrophic injury to my knee on a recent visit to NYC. After 2 days of cancelled flights, and a lot of pain, I finally made it back home. I could not put any weight on my right leg and wondered what in the world I was going to do. I'm not talented enough to use crutches and I found a walker put way too much weight on my hands and arms. I decided to rent a motorized wheelchair, for a week, from a local medical supply store. After a couple of days using it around the house, I realized that was the only way to go. I went online, read reviews, and bought this Aotedor motorized wheelchair. I could have bought the one that I rented for about twice the price of this Aotedor, and it was much more inconvenient because it had to be taken apart into four pieces to travel with it. I have since found out that I have to have surgery on my knee and will be non-weight bearing for eight weeks. This chair will be invaluable! Things I like about the chair… it folds quickly and easily and is one piece instead of multiple pieces to take apart. It is not any heavier than the one I rented that came apart in four pieces. But there is some weight to it. Obviously, I do not lift it since I am injured. My husband or my daughter are generally the ones that put it in the vehicle. The only complaint they have had is when you take it out of the vehicle it doesn't latch so it starts coming open as you try to lift it out. It is not an issue when you're putting it in but is more of an issue whenever you're taking it out. Otherwise, it is very quick to deal with as long as you're able-bodied enough to lift it. It has a tight turning radius, and I have very little issue driving it around in the house. The steering is smooth and easy. It has multiple power settings which makes it easy to use either inside or outside. I have used it outside on grass and I typically just set it on a higher speed setting. The arms have push buttons on the side so you can lift the arm to get in or out of the chair. This may be just me, but once the arm is up, I wish it could easily fold back down. I don't know how to explain it exactly but it's a little tricky. I push the button and then kind of push back and pull it forward. Definitely not that big of a deal, but worth mentioning. And once you realize how it works, it's not bad. I did find that the chair I had rented was easier to get into from the front than this one is. if you want to just back up and sit down in it from the front, the foot rest is in the way. If you fold the footrest up, it doesn't fold all the way back under the seat cushion so it is in a position that it scratches your legs and is uncomfortable. Basically, it is just awkward to try and get in the chair from the front. But I suppose more people than not lift the arm and get in from the side. The foot rest is also in an awkward position if you want to just stop the chair and stand up to do anything for a moment before sitting back down. Those are the only two minor inconveniences I found with the chair. Everything else so far has been an absolute positive. Nothing is going to be 100% perfect whether that be a car, a phone, a camera, or whatever. But for the money, in my opinion, this chair is a no-brainer. It is definitely worth it for the freedom it allows. I am not used to just sitting or laying around and this chair has allowed me to still go places and do the things that I want to do. it seems to be built well, so I am expecting it to provide good service for a long time to come.

I am over 60 and overweight/plus size or whatever. We just returned from a cruise in June and having this chair made all the difference. It was my third different chair taken on a cruise and no comparison to the others! It had to be collapsed to get it through the narrow ship cabin doors but handles well and is very comfy. The switch from manual to power and back and forth is genius and relieves the fear of the battery dying and being stranded. You could be pushed or push the chair yourself like a walker. The rear handle is adjustable and looks much nicer than the typical handlebars. I received a couple of inquiries/compliments on the cruise ship and also at the mall about how compact it was compared to the oversized chairs and scooters some had (I as well in the past). The seat is comfy. The 330 lb weight limit is generous. We loaded quite a lot of weight on top of my body weight with no problems. It is too heavy for me to lift in and out of vehicle (about 70 lbs-shown in my mid size SUV rear in photo) but is simple to collapse and open otherwise. Batteries last much longer than expected (2 batteries are included). The joystick at first I felt was glitchy but after using it a bit I have mastered even the tightest turns. This chair changed my life and has enabled me to be able to once again do things with my family I had long ago started passing up.
