In more detail...

The Vanguard 200 is a bariatric folding electric wheelchair created for users who need higher weight support without moving to a large, rigid powerchair. Its reinforced construction supports up to 200kg, while the one-motion folding frame makes storage and transport more manageable than with many traditional heavy-duty chairs.

At the centre of its performance are two 300W sine-wave brushless motors. This premium drive system delivers smooth, controlled acceleration, quiet operation and responsive manoeuvring. Combined with thick 12-inch solid rear tyres and substantial 8-inch front tyres, the Vanguard 200 is equipped for reliable everyday use across indoor floors, pavements and varied outdoor terrain.

Comfort is a major part of the Vanguard 200's design. The thick backrest and seat cushion offer supportive padding, while the manual reclining backrest moves back by up to 45° so the user can adjust their seating angle. An extendable footplate helps accommodate different leg lengths and supports a more comfortable driving position.

For longer journeys, the 24V 20Ah battery provides a stated range of up to 25 miles under suitable conditions. The removable joystick incorporates an LCD display for clear access to essential driving information, and built-in side and rear lights help increase visibility in low-light environments.

The chair weighs 31kg without its battery. It is foldable and transportable, but it should not be described as lightweight. Users should check their vehicle dimensions and lifting ability before purchase, with a two-person lift, ramps or a suitable boot hoist recommended where needed.

Heavy-Duty 200kg Load Capacity

The Vanguard 200 supports users weighing up to 200kg, giving larger users a strong and stable mobility option for everyday independence.

Premium 300W Sine-Wave Brushless Motors

Two efficient 300W motors provide a combined drive system designed for smooth power delivery, quieter operation and precise control across a range of everyday environments.

Supportive Padded Seating

A thick backrest and seat cushion provide enhanced comfort and support, making the Vanguard 200 better suited to longer journeys and extended periods of use.

Manually Reclines by up to 45°

The reclining backrest allows the user to change their seating angle manually, creating a more relaxed position when stationary or when taking a break.

24V 20Ah Extended-Range Battery

Travel up to 25 miles per charge under suitable test conditions. Range is influenced by the user's weight, terrain, gradients, temperature and driving style.

Puncture-Free Solid Tyres

The 12-inch rear and 8-inch front tyres are solid, eliminating punctures and reducing tyre maintenance while providing a secure, stable ride.

Removable LCD Joystick Controller

The joystick is easy to remove when storing or transporting the chair. Its LCD display presents important operating information in a clear format.

Extendable Footplate

The footplate can be extended to help users achieve more natural leg positioning and a better overall seating fit.

Integrated Visibility Lights

Side and rear lights help make the Vanguard 200 more visible to people and vehicles nearby when used in dimmer surroundings.

Optional Anti-Tip Protection

Anti-tip wheels can be added for users who want further rearward stability. Keep this described as an optional accessory unless it is confirmed as included with every chair.
