Portable Electric Wheelchairs

As their name suggests, portable powerchairs are smaller and more transportable than traditional powerchairs. Their compact design allows them to effortlessly navigate apartments, homes, offices, cruise ships, restaurants, shops, and other tight indoor spaces.

Finding the Perfect Portable Electric Wheelchair

Electric wheelchairs are traditionally thought of as heavy and cumbersome pieces of machinery. Their large overall size makes them difficult to transport without the use of a van with a ramp. However, recent breakthroughs in design – including the use of lightweight parts and materials – have allowed many manufacturers to develop portable electric wheelchairs that are compact, stable, and able to fold or disassemble for transport and storage. Be sure to research all your portable power wheelchair options before making a purchase. Please review the ‘FAQ’ section further down for more information.
