Affordable Electric Wheelchairs Without Cutting Corners

A low price on its own is not a saving if the chair fails in a year and nobody in Australia can fix it. Every model on this page has the same core build as our full range: dual motors, a removable lithium battery rather than a heavy lead-acid pack, a folding aluminium or carbon fibre frame, a joystick controller with speed control, electromagnetic brakes and anti-tip wheels. The difference between $1,199 and $3,000 in our range is mainly frame material, battery size, motor power and features such as recline or adjustable seat height.

What makes these chairs affordable is that we hold stock in our own Perth warehouse and support them ourselves, with spare batteries, chargers, joysticks and tyres on the shelf. That is the part of the price you cannot see on the product page, and it is what separates a value chair from a cheap one.

How Much Does an Electric Wheelchair Cost in Australia?

Price guide last updated 29 September 2026.

In Australia an electric wheelchair typically costs from about $1,200 for a folding aluminium power chair to $3,000 or more for carbon fibre, long-range and specialised chairs, with standing chairs costing considerably more. Tynor Australia's Easwe range starts at $1,199, and seven models are under $2,000.

Read our 2026 electric wheelchair buying guide for the full range compared side by side.

What You Get Under $2,000

At this price every Easwe chair includes a folding frame, a removable lithium battery with charger, dual motors, a joystick with speed control, a seat belt, electromagnetic brakes and anti-tip wheels, plus a 5-year frame warranty and local spare parts. Within the band, $1,399–$1,499 buys a compact aluminium travel chair, and around $1,799 adds a carbon fibre hybrid frame (C10), automatic folding (F10) or a reclining backrest with headrest (B10, G10).

When It's Worth Spending More

Spend more if the lightest possible lift matters — the Easwe C30 carbon fibre electric wheelchair is the lightest chair we sell at 11.3 kg without the battery. Choose the Easwe C20 if you want up to approximately 40 km from two batteries used together, the L10 if the seat height needs to be set between 40 and 60 cm for tables and transfers, or the S10 if an OT has recommended a standing function. Browse all electric wheelchairs to compare the full range.

What Affects the Price

• Frame material — carbon fibre costs more than aluminium but weighs less.
• Battery size and count — larger or dual batteries add range and cost.
• Motor power — in this range, from dual 150W (F10) to dual 250W (B20, E10, G10).
• Folding mechanism — automatic folding adds a motor and remote.
• Seating — reclining backrests, headrests and adjustable seat height add cost.

Which Budget Electric Wheelchair Is Right for You?

Match the chair to the job it will do most days. These three groups cover almost every buyer under $2,000.

Best Value for Travel and Car Boots

The Easwe D10 lightweight folding power chair at $1,399 weighs approximately 15.8 kg and folds side to side for smaller boots, and the Easwe E10 folding travel chair at $1,499 folds to a compact 36.1 × 54.1 × 85.1 cm. The Easwe B20 at $1,199 is the lowest-priced folding chair we sell, though at 20 kg it is the heaviest lift in this group. If you need the lightest lift, compare our lightweight folding electric wheelchairs.

Best Value for Comfort

The Easwe B10 reclining electric wheelchair with headrest and the Easwe G10 reclining chair with dual batteries, both around $1,799, give a reclining backrest and headrest for all-day sitting. The G10 also reclines to 145°, runs two batteries for up to approximately 40 km and supports up to 136 kg, the highest capacity in the Easwe range. Both are also in our reclining electric wheelchairs collection.

Best Value for Easy Folding

The Easwe F10 automatic folding electric wheelchair at $1,798.95 folds and unfolds at the press of a button on the remote or joystick, so there is no bending or lifting the frame. It suits anyone who folds the chair several times a day, or has limited back or hand strength. The F10 must only be folded when nobody is seated, and it is rated to 100 kg.

Warranty, Support and Spare Parts

The purchase price is only part of the cost of owning an electric wheelchair in Australia. Every Easwe chair carries a 5-year frame warranty against manufacturing defects, with motors, batteries and other components covered under separate warranty periods (see our wheelchair warranty terms). Warranty claims are handled by our Perth team, not an overseas seller. Replacement lithium batteries are held in stock, as are chargers, joysticks, tyres and cushions, so a worn part does not mean a new chair — contact us for current spare-part pricing. Wheelchairs are bulky items shipped with lithium batteries, so they are excluded from our free-shipping offer and delivery is quoted by postcode — see delivery costs for wheelchairs. Perth metro customers can arrange local pick-up from Forrestdale by appointment.

Are Cheap Electric Wheelchairs Safe? What to Check

An electric wheelchair is a medical device, and a low price should never mean skipping the basics. Before buying any affordable chair — from us or anyone else — check these five things:

1. TGA listing. The chair should appear on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. You can search the ARTG on tga.gov.au by product name or sponsor.
2. Battery certification. The lithium battery should carry a UN38.3 test certificate; ask to see it.
3. A written warranty from an Australian business you can phone, with the terms published before you buy.
4. Local spare parts, especially batteries, chargers and joysticks, so the chair can be repaired rather than replaced.
5. A rated capacity above the user's weight, taken from the manufacturer's specifications, and never exceeded.

Ask us for the ARTG entry, battery certification and warranty terms for any chair on this page before you buy. The specifications on each product page are the manufacturer's figures.
