Electric Wheelchairs Latest Products

Many people are unsure what to do before purchasing an electric wheelchair. You need to consider your budget and surroundings before you buy an electric wheelchair. This will ensure that your motorized wheelchair is comfortable, stylish, and durable. We will walk you through the key points you should keep in mind when you buy for an electric wheelchair.

• Weight Capacity: There are many models of electric wheelchairs that have different weight limits. Consider whether you plan to bring shopping or luggage on your trips. If you need heavier weight-bearing mechanisms, consider these factors.
• Front-, Rear-, and Mid-Wheel Drives: Although there are six wheels in an electric wheelchair, only two of them receive power. The mid-wheel drive is great for turning in tight places, but the rear-wheel and front-wheel-drive power chairs excel at handling uneven terrain. To determine which wheel drive is best for you, we recommend consulting an occupational therapist.
• Range: Your electric wheelchair should be able to take you from A-B on one charge. You should consider the range of each model depending on your destination.
• Ground Clearance: Will you be using your electric wheelchair outdoors or indoors? Or both? You can have both.
• Turning Radius: This is the area required to turn your electric wheelchair 180 degrees. A smaller turning radius means that it is easier to manoeuvre through tight spots. You should assess your surroundings for any difficult spots that you might need to navigate in your power chair.
• Transport: You’ll need a motorized wheelchair that’s easy to transport and disassemble. To meet your mobility needs, you might consider a folding or portable electric wheelchair.
• Comfort: You want your electric wheelchair to be comfortable. This means you need one with the right seat width, rear suspension systems and leg space.
• Performance: Determine if you require more power for your electric wheelchair. You may need an electric wheelchair with high-top speed and rear shock absorption if the passenger is very heavy or the terrain is uneven.
