Ask Yourself These Questions:

  •   Do you want a manual chair or a powered electric wheel chair?
  •   What are you going to be using your chair for?  For instance, are you using it for an athletic purpose?
  •   Will you need to travel with your chair? - If so then chair weight or transportation devices might be an issue for you.  For instance, getting a wheelchair lift might be a better idea for you with an electric wheel chair.
  • What seat shape do you want for your chair?
  • And Don't forget to ask your friends, your doctor and or your therapist for some recommendations.

Electric Powered Wheel Chair Study Shows

According to a study on drivers of electric wheel chairs, drivers of electric-powered wheelchairs are most active during the afternoon and evening hours. The maximum theoretic distance that the subjects in the study of wheel chair users would travel is less than 8km per 5-day period.

For those electric wheel chair owners, all the bells and whistles that go with dimmer lights at that time of the day resulting in a need for reflective devices and special carrying devices - like baskets for simple grocery shopping errands are almost as important as the wheel chair itself.

Both distance traveled and speed increased during afternoon and evening hours for the studied subjects.

Electric Wheel Chairs Give You Freedom!

When maneuverability is a primary concern you are no longer stifled by the pre-modern choices of the standard hand powered wheelchair selections.

New electric wheel chair models are designed for efficiency, style and maneuverability.

Plush and attractive Captain Chair seats are now offered in varieties of comfortable, padded leather or upholstery. Taking walks with the grandchildren now means that you won't trail behind as they walk, run or skip beside you, because the electric wheel chairs are designed for various speed capacities, not just how fast you can push them. Not anymore!

Electric Wheel Chair - Choices

Choices - There are a wide variety of choices! You can pick an electric wheel chair that is only outdoors, or choose an electric wheel chair design that works both indoors And outdoors.

Instead of being called an electric wheelchair, you can now get yourself an electric wheel chair, an electric power mobility powered wheelchair (that's a mouth full - or better yet, say THAT three times fast!), an electric mobility powered wheel chair, an electric wheelchair power chair, an electric scooter, an scooter wheelchair, an wheelchair scooter, and an electric wheel chair scooter.

The basic difference is indoor/outdoor, or just one or the other, horsepower, maneuverability and what you can afford.

Your Electric Wheel Chair Investment

Your electric wheelchair will prove to be an investment for you so it's best to consider all your options in regard to what you will be using it for and if you don't need all the bells and whistles, then don't get them. What you need to keep in mind is that you'll want to take a long look at what places you want to go and whether or not the chair you pick can get you there. Look for company pictures, testimonials on a particular brand, return policies, delivery satisfaction, and mechanical soundness, also you'll need to know that your particular electric wheelchair doesn't cost an arm and a leg to maintain (does it have long lasting batteries, what does regular maintenance involve, . . .)

An Electric Wheel Chair Happy Ending


Once you decide, see if you can take it for a spin before you buy.

Or better yet, take the dog for a walk!

And, if you have a business and can write it off-Do it!

Thanks, Kowality! I have a dear friend who had to get one of these recently and she was severely depressed, so this is for her. I, too, have had the experience of a wheelchair at the age of 16, so seeing these options really gave me hope that the baby boomer generation are no longer going to be living the reclusive and confined lifestyles that so often go with the use of a wheelchair.
