How to Choose an Electric Mobility Chair for Sale Before purchasing an electric mobility scooter, consult a professional to assess the patient's health and capabilities. Test drive the chair and inquire about any ongoing maintenance requirements or warranties. Power chairs (also called motorized wheelchairs) are driven with batteries instead of arms, which allows for greater mobility and speed. They can be used indoors and outdoors. Wheel Drive A power wheelchair lets you move around without fatigue. It can maneuver easily in tight spaces and turn at a whim. The chair is controlled by an electronic joystick on the right or left side. Mastering the joystick takes some practice, but you can get to almost every destination quickly and safely. Some chairs come with a reclined seat that makes it easier to stand up. Power wheelchairs are designed to fit into small spaces, so it's a good idea to measure the doorways and halls before you buy. Also, consider how much room you'll need to transport and store the chair. Some of the more lightweight chairs can be folded and stored in a vehicle or trunk, allowing you to take them on trips. Some chairs are designed to fit under tables or in closets.
