The Porto Mobility Ranger is one of the best electric wheelchair options for heavyset individuals. It’s rated to carry up to almost 400 pounds, ensuring that it can hold almost anyone. It also offers a wide 18.5-inch seat, which is plenty roomy to keep you comfortable.
This wheelchair is heavy-duty, with dual 250-watt brushless motors and the ability to take on hills up to 25 degrees. It also offers an impressive 18 miles of travel per charge at a speedy 5 mph. In fact, it’s tied as the second-fastest wheelchair in our review.
Despite all of these features, the Porto Mobility Ranger weighs in at just 58 pounds. The only major downside to the design is that it has a wide turning radius of over 31 inches.
What we liked
This foldable electric wheelchair holds heavyset individuals up to 400 pounds, yet it weighs just 58 pounds including the batteries. It’s hard to beat that strength to weight ratio. Plus, it can climb grades up to 25 degrees.
What could be better
The seat on this wheelchair is relatively minimal. There’s no lumbar support and no headrest. Many users reported adding some additional padding to the seat bottom, too, to make it more comfortable over extended periods.
