Description
Broda Sashay Pedal Wheelchair is the simplest chair in Broda's pedal line: a low-seat, foot-propelled wheelchair with 18 degrees of tilt for residents who move best under their own power. Its seat drops low enough for efficient foot propulsion, and the 350 lb capacity covers more residents than most entry pedal chairs.
- Low seat surface height (settings down to 12.5 in) for effective foot propulsion
- Tilt up to 18° for scheduled pressure relief
- 350 lb weight capacity
- Seat widths 16 to 28 in across the range, 16, 18 and 20 in stocked
- Front mag wheels or casters with 5 in total-lock rear casters
Sashay Pedal Wheelchair with Low-Seat Pedal Design
The Sashay is where Broda's pedal range starts, built for the simple daily job of keeping residents mobile on their own feet. A resident who can shuffle along the floor stays stronger, more oriented and less dependent on staff for every short trip down the hall. Tilt to 18 degrees still gives caregivers a pressure-relief tool and a rest position, without the cost of the deeper-tilt models. The low seat settings are the key specification: at 12.5 to 17.5 in, shorter users and efficient pushers get the flat-foot contact that makes propulsion actually work. Stocked in 16, 18 and 20 in widths with casters or mag wheels, it slots into memory care and long-term care fleets as the everyday mover.

Why Choose the Broda Sashay Pedal Wheelchair?
The Sashay skips the extras and keeps what makes pedal chairs work: a low seat, foot propulsion, tilt and a steel frame. For facilities buying several chairs at once, that focus is the difference between one resident moving independently and many.
- Lowest seat in the line – settings down to 12.5 in give shorter residents real foot contact — propulsion works instead of frustrating
- Independence on a budget – the entry price of the Broda pedal range — facilities can put more residents in self-propelled chairs
- Capacity headroom – 350 lb beats most entry pedal chairs — fewer residents are sized out of the affordable model
- Still a Broda underneath – the same steel frame and 10-year warranty as the flagship models — entry price without entry construction

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the seat go so low?
Foot propulsion only works when the user's feet rest flat on the floor with knees comfortably bent, and the Sashay's low seat settings (down to 12.5 in) achieve that for shorter users and for efficient pushing. Taller settings in the adjustable range suit longer legs.
Does it tilt like the bigger Broda chairs?
It tilts up to 18 degrees, which covers scheduled pressure shifts and a relaxed posture after activities. Models like the Encore tilt further (40 degrees) for users who need deep repositioning; the Sashay trades some range for simplicity and price.
What capacity and widths does it cover?
Capacity is 350 lb, and the Sashay range runs from 16 to 28 in wide, with 16, 18 and 20 in stocked here in caster and mag wheel forms. Depths across the range run from 15.5 to 20 in.
Is it suitable for dementia care?
Pedal chairs are a common choice in memory care because residents can move themselves safely at floor level without standing. The low seat, foot propulsion and caregiver steering give mobility with a low fall risk profile compared with standard-height chairs.
What warranty is included?
Broda warrants the frame for 10 years and all parts for 2 years. It is the same manufacturer warranty carried across the Broda wheelchair line.
