If your in the market for a lightweight wheechair that will move you under its own power then a folding power wheelchair is for you.
Lager more bulky wheelchairs can only be fitted into the big cars, other can fit into a smaller car but need to dismantled and can be quite heavy even in small parts. Therefore most power wheelchairs or scooters will require a ramp or lift of some kind to help you get into the car.
The saller more portable wheelchairs are manual, but if your dsabilities stop you from self propelling yourself then you are unable to get yourself around,likewise a folding wheelchair has the same disadvantages.
Power wheelchairs are the big brother of manual wheelchairs and are built with motors. They come with portable vrsions that allow to load them into vehicles or other modes of transports. They can be be disassembly or folding, or a combination of the two: in some cases, the motor mechanism can be detached from the chair portion, which then folds up to save space.
Folding wheelchairs big advantage is they can be stored into small spaces, while a power wheelchair needs to be dismantled, folding wheelchairs can be folded and stored into a trunk of a car, compared to power wheelchairs which would require a small van to transport it around.
Folding wheelchairs can normally be loaded into a vehicle by one person or two smaller people with the heaviest piece can weigh as little as about 60 pounds, while it’s usually somewhere around 80.
A folding wheelchair is good cause it does not sacrifice comfort while traveling, because most wheelchair accessories can be attached just as easily to a folding wheelchair. As long as the combined weight of yourself and the items you’re carrying doesn’t exceed the chair’s capacity, you can carry all the bags and items you would normally use.
A good folding power wheelchair will provide an good combination of automated mobility and portability, and can be very useful traveling any distance by car.
