- 20 in front mag wheels or front casters, with 5 in total-lock rear casters
Encore Pedal Wheelchair for A standard chair
Pedal wheelchairs solve a common long-term-care problem: residents who can still use their legs lose mobility in a standard chair, but stay active when their feet can reach the floor. The Encore's front wheels and low seat geometry let the user shuffle along independently, while the seat-mount lower leg support keeps feet positioned between moves. Unlike basic pedal chairs, it keeps up to 40 degrees of tilt, so staff can still run scheduled pressure relief without moving the resident to a different chair. The stocked range is unusually wide: standard widths from 16 in up to bariatric 28 in builds, each in caster or mag wheel form, plus the Heavy Duty configuration with its 500 lb capacity and WC19 package. Height-adjustable arm supports and total-lock rear casters round out a chair designed for dining rooms, hallways and activities as much as for bedside care.
Features and Benefits
Foot-Propelled Design
Built so residents can move themselves with their feet. Short trips to the dining room or activity area stop depending on staff availability.
- Front-wheel layout set low for foot propulsion
- Seat-mount lower leg support keeps feet engaged
- Front anti-tippers guard against forward tipping
- Users move themselves short distances and stay more active

Pedal mobility does not mean giving up positioning care. Widths reach genuine bariatric sizes instead of stopping at 20 in.

- Seat widths 16 to 28 in covering standard and bariatric sizes

Why Choose the Broda Encore Pedal Wheelchair?
Most pedal chairs are basic transport seats; the Encore keeps Broda's tilt positioning while letting residents propel themselves. That matters in dementia and long-term care, where the ability to move independently, safely and comfortably shapes the whole day.
- Movement residents control – foot propulsion gives users their own mobility — less waiting for staff and more leg activity through the day
- Tilt in a pedal chair – 40° of tilt in a foot-propelled format is uncommon — pressure care and self-mobility finally share one chair
- Widths few lines match – 16 to 28 in stocked on one page — standard and bariatric residents fit from the same model
- Heavy-duty headroom – the 500 lb Heavy Duty configuration with WC19 covers the heaviest users — no separate bariatric pedal model to source

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes it a pedal wheelchair?
The wheels are at the front and the seat sits low, so the user propels by pushing along the floor with their feet while a caregiver steers from behind. That foot propulsion keeps legs active and gives residents a measure of independent movement around a room or unit.
What is the Heavy Duty Package configuration?
It is the 48V4HD-500-WC19 configuration stocked here, which raises the weight capacity to 500 lb and adds mag wheels and the WC19 transport package. Standard configurations carry up to 350 lb, so the package is the route for heavier users who also need vehicle transport.
How wide does the Encore range go?
Seat widths run from 16 to 28 in, and all of them are stocked on this page, including the wider bariatric-titled 22 to 28 in sizes. Depths across the range are 17, 18.5 and 20 in.
Do the front wheels lock for transfers?
The rear casters are total-lock, and front anti-tippers are fitted for stability when the chair tilts. Together they keep the chair planted while the user stands or sits with caregiver help.
What warranty comes with it?
Broda provides a 10-year warranty on the frame and a 2-year warranty on all parts. The warranty applies to every Encore configuration, including the Heavy Duty Package build.
