What to Know about Travel Power Wheelchairs

Accordingly, travel power chairs is the best type of power wheelchair to consider when transporting and maneuverability in confined spaces are you major concern. Its compact frame and size makes this type of wheelchair such as the Merits EZ Go a better alternative to scooters and high end chairs. When compared to regular standard and heavy duty wheelchairs, travel power wheelchairs have smaller batteries that weigh less than the regular U-1 batteries required on standard power chairs. This battery makes it easy to transport in a car or SUV. Travel powers are easily broken down into 3 pieces for easy transport. It breaks down into the seat; the base and the battery pack (the battery pack houses tow lightweight batteries). The heaviest piece on most travel wheelchairs equals 34.5lbs.
