Comfort is extremely important for individuals who rely on their mobility devices for everyday use or traveling long-distances. Our electric wheelchairs are expertly-designed to provide maximum comfort with ergonomic designs and accessories to meet your unique needs.
Our devices feature:
1. Supportive Seating and Adjustable Features
One of the standout features of our electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters is the emphasis on comfortable and adjustable seating. Comfort starts with the seat, and we ensure that users can adjust the seating to their preferences for maximum comfort throughout the day.
The Model C2 and Model F both offer seats designed with ample cushioning and back support. The ergonomic design of these electric wheelchairs supports the natural contours of the body, reducing the risk of discomfort or pressure sores, which can be a significant concern for those who use their devices for long periods of time.
Both models come with adjustable seat depth and width to cater to different body types, helping to prevent strain or discomfort on the legs, hips, and lower back. The adjustable armrests are another key feature, as they provide added support and flexibility, ensuring that users can maintain a comfortable posture whether they’re using the chair for brief trips or long outings.
2. Smooth and Responsive Ride
Comfort is not just about the seat, it is also about the riding experience. Our electric wheelchairs are known for their smooth ride and ability to navigate various terrains effortlessly. Equipped with advanced suspension systems and powerful motors, these chairs offer a stable and comfortable experience, whether you're on smooth floors, bumpy sidewalks, or even grass.
The Model C2 boasts a unique, patented omni-wheels system, which allows the chair to glide smoothly in any direction. The ability to move laterally, diagonally, and rotate in place gives users full control over their movement, especially in tight spaces or when navigating busy environments.
The Model F offers a slightly different experience but still ensures a smooth and comfortable ride. The chairs are designed with stability in mind, which is crucial for maintaining comfort and confidence during everyday life or even while traveling.
3. User-Friendly Controls and Easy Adjustments
We focus on making sure the user interaction with the wheelchair is simple and intuitive. Our devices come with an easy-to-use joystick controller that allows users to adjust their speed, direction, and position with ease. The intuitive interface makes it simple to control the chair’s settings, such as adjusting the chair’s recline angle or switching between different driving modes.
For users who may struggle with dexterity or grip, the joystick controller can be customized for ease of use based on your dexterity needs. This level of control ensures users can adjust the chair to their preferences, providing a personalized and comfortable experience every time they use it.
In addition to comfort, we prioritize style and customization in our designs. Traditional electric wheelchairs are often bulky, clunky, and utilitarian in appearance. WHILL has completely redefined what a modern wheelchair can look like: offering a sleek, compact design that redefines style in personal mobility.
Minimalist and Sleek Aesthetic
Our electric wheelchairs are designed with modern aesthetics in mind. All of our devices have a clean, minimalist design that focuses on elegance and simplicity. The low-profile frame, hidden motors, and modern lines give the chairs a futuristic look that appeals to users who value both function and style.
We also offer a variety of accessories that allow you to customize the look and feel of your device, providing more options to customize your experience to your unique needs. Whether you are looking for adjustable foot supports, arm pads or belts for stability - we have everything you need to create the ultimate driving experience.
Color Customization
We offer a range of color options for our electric wheelchairs, allowing users to express their personalities and preferences. While the frames of the chairs are designed to be sleek and stylish, the addition of customizable colors makes these wheelchairs even more personalized. Users can choose from a range of bold and contemporary hues, including vibrant shades like red, blue, and silver, as well as more neutral options like black and white.
This customizable color palette ensures that users can select a wheelchair that fits their individual tastes, whether they prefer a bold pop of color or a more subdued, elegant look. This customization is not just about aesthetics, it is a way of showing that personal mobility can be fun and enjoyable!
We offer a range of accessories and customization options that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. These accessories allow you to personalize your device further, giving you more options to improve your experience and show off your unique style.
1. Customizable Footrests and Arm Covers
We understand that comfort is personal. The footrests and armrests on our electric wheelchairs are adjustable, ensuring you can set them to the optimal height and angle for your body. This is especially helpful for users who may experience leg or arm fatigue during long periods of sitting.
The footrests can also be customized to accommodate specific needs, such as providing additional support for those with limited leg movement. Likewise, the armrests can be swapped out for different styles or types depending on whether the user requires more cushioning or a specific type of armrest to better suit their body posture.
2. Attachable Bags and Storage Options
For users who want to carry their personal belongings while using their electric wheelchair, we offer several storage options and accessories, including attachable bags and baskets. These accessories make it easy to bring along essentials such as a water bottle, wallet, or medication while on the go.
The attachable storage bags come in different sizes and designs, from small pouches that fit on the back of the chair to larger baskets that can hold more items. The design of these bags complements the overall aesthetic of the wheelchair, ensuring that functionality doesn’t compromise style.
3. Custom Seating Solutions
While the standard seating on our electric wheelchairs is highly comfortable, users can further customize the seat to suit their individual needs. For those who require extra padding, lumbar support, or even a special cushion to alleviate pressure points, we offer a range of seating accessories that can be added to the chair for improved comfort.
4. Smart Technology and App Integration
Our devices are also equipped with smart technology, allowing users to connect their chairs to a smartphone app. The app can be used to track battery life, monitor the chair’s performance, and customize settings such as speed and responsiveness. This integration of technology adds another layer of convenience and control, ensuring that users can easily maintain and adjust their chair.
Our mobility devices offer users both comfort and aesthetic appeal without sacrificing functionality. We provide a wide range of customization options and accessories that ensure every user can personalize their chair to meet their individual comfort and functionality needs, while also allowing their unique personalities to shine through.
