Making your Era fit you

Your Era wheelchair was configured and adjusted by the Bowhead team using the measurements you provided at the time you purchased it.  We’re confident your chair is the right size, but you may want to change how it feels as you sit in it and gain experience.  This guide takes you through all the options for getting your fit “just right” and if necessary, how to change components of your Era wheelchair.

New Era Owner Fitting Service

For extra support, Bowhead offers an optional New Era Owner Fitting Service. For a one-time fee of $125 USD, you’ll connect with a Bowhead fitting expert who will walk you through adjustments, answer questions, and provide personalized recommendations to help you get your chair dialed in for comfort, performance, and independence. To set up an appointment please book with one of our fitting experts using the Calendly links provided.
