Pediatric Power Wheelchairs
A pediatric power wheelchair gives a child independent movement in a frame scaled to their body. Smaller seats, lower seat heights, and controls within a shorter reach. We carry a focused range built around the Bangeran Pegasus, a 47 lb folding chair with a 16.5 inch seat designed with cerebral palsy riders in mind and priced at $1,699.
We say the same thing to every family before anything else, sizing a child’s chair is a clinical decision as much as a retail one. Your child’s occupational or physical therapist knows the postural support they need, and we fit around that guidance rather than replace it. The Pegasus folds flat for the trunk, runs a lithium battery, and carries up to 265 lbs, so it grows with the rider through their teens. Call us with the therapist’s seating notes and we will tell you honestly whether this chair fits or whether you need a complex rehab provider instead. Free shipping either way.

Who the Pegasus fits
The Bangeran Pegasus suits children and smaller teens who can operate a joystick and sit upright with the support of a standard padded seat. The seat measures 16.5 inches wide, the chair weighs 47 lbs, folds in one motion, and the 265 lb rating means the same chair still fits as the rider grows. It is a retail chair, not a complex rehab system. It does not offer tilt-in-space, custom molded seating, or alternative drive controls. Children who need those supports are better served through a clinical provider, and we say so on the phone every week.
How to size a child’s power chair
Three measurements decide fit, and your child’s therapist can take all of them in minutes. Hip width seated, the seat should be 1 to 2 inches wider. Thigh length to the back of the knee, the seat depth should end about 2 inches short of it. Floor to elbow seated, which sets the armrest and joystick height. The Pegasus publishes its seat dimensions on the product page so the therapist can check fit before you spend anything.
Raphael involves the therapist on every pediatric fitting. When a family calls about the Pegasus he asks for the therapist’s seating notes first. Plenty of those calls end with him recommending a clinical provider instead of a sale. The chairs we do ship fit the riders they are meant for, and that honesty is the point.
Why weight matters more with kids
A child’s chair gets lifted constantly, into school buses, family cars, and up front steps. At 47 lbs with the battery out for the lift, the Pegasus is among the lightest powered options for a child, and the fold takes one motion a parent can do one-handed. Compare that with a full-size clinical pediatric chair that needs a van lift and the daily practicality is obvious. The tradeoff is the simpler seating described above. Families wanting an even lighter adult-size option as the rider grows can compare our lightweight electric wheelchairs from 25.8 lbs, and the folding electric wheelchairs page covers the full folding range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is a pediatric power wheelchair for?
Fit is by measurement, not age. The Pegasus with its 16.5 inch seat typically fits riders from later childhood through the teens. Take the three measurements above with your child’s therapist and check them against the product page.
Is the Pegasus suitable for a child with cerebral palsy?
It was designed with CP riders in mind. Suitability still depends on your child’s postural needs. If the therapist calls for trunk supports, tilt, or custom seating, a complex rehab chair is the right tool and we will tell you so.
How heavy is a pediatric electric wheelchair?
The Pegasus weighs 47 lbs ready to ride and less with the battery removed for lifting. It folds flat in one motion and fits a sedan trunk.
Can my child take this chair to school?
Yes, and its fold and weight make the bus transfer practical. Coordinate with the school’s transport coordinator on securement, school buses use four-point tie-downs and the chair rides secured while your child transfers to a bus seat where required.
