Range is the manufacturer's maximum and will be lower with a heavier rider, hills, cold weather or older batteries. A smaller turning radius means the chair turns more easily in hallways and kitchens.

How to Choose a Power Wheelchair

  • Folding, portable or full size: folding power chairs fold in one piece and weigh about 42 to 44 lb, so they suit car and air travel; portable chairs come apart into pieces of 36 lb or less; full size chairs give longer range, more comfort and better outdoor performance but need a ramp or vehicle lift.
  • Drive type: mid wheel drive turns in the tightest space, which is best for small homes; front wheel drive with large drive wheels handles curbs, grass and grade changes better outdoors.
  • Range: choose a chair with more range than your longest day. Range drops when the rider is close to the weight limit.
  • Weight capacity: choose a chair rated above the user's weight. Power chairs in this collection support from 220 lb to 600 lb.
  • Reach and daily tasks: an elevating seat raises you up to 10 inches for countertops, cabinets and eye level conversation.
  • Your home: measure doorways, hallways and the space you need to turn around, then compare with each chair's width and turning radius.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lightest power wheelchair you sell?

Our folding power wheelchairs are the lightest. The lightweight folding power chair weighs 42 lb with the battery, the 300 lb capacity carbon fiber model weighs 43.6 lb with the battery, and the 220 lb capacity carbon fiber model weighs 41.9 lb without the battery.

What is the difference between a folding and a portable power wheelchair?

A folding power wheelchair folds in one piece, like a manual wheelchair, so it can go into a car trunk or on a plane. A portable power wheelchair comes apart into several pieces by hand, with the heaviest piece at 36 lb on our portable models, so no single piece is too heavy to lift.

What is the difference between mid wheel drive and front wheel drive?

Mid wheel drive places the drive wheels under the seat, which gives the tightest turning radius for small rooms and hallways. Our mid wheel drive chair turns in 22.5 inches. Front wheel drive with large drive wheels climbs over bumps, curbs and grade changes more easily, which makes it better for outdoor use.

How far can a power wheelchair go on one charge?

Power wheelchairs in this collection travel from 7.5 miles up to 21 miles per charge. Range depends on rider weight, terrain and battery condition. For example, our front wheel drive chair goes up to 21 miles with a 200 lb rider and up to 18 miles at its 300 lb capacity.

Do you have a power wheelchair for heavier users?

Yes. Our heavy duty power wheelchair supports up to 600 lb, reaches 4.5 mph and travels up to 15.7 miles per charge. It weighs 336 lb in total, so it needs a ramp or vehicle lift for transport.

What is an elevating seat power wheelchair?

An elevating seat raises the rider while seated. Our mid wheel drive chair lifts the seat up to 10 inches in 16 seconds and can still drive at up to 3.5 mph while raised, so you can reach countertops, shelves and cabinets.

Can I take a power wheelchair on a plane?

Folding power wheelchairs with lithium batteries are the easiest to fly with, but airline rules differ. Contact your airline before you travel to confirm their battery and wheelchair requirements.
