Lightweight Electric Wheelchairs for Sale

Lightweight electric wheelchairs vary in terms of their design and features, with some models disassembling into multiple pieces and others folding up for easier transportation. In fact, sometimes the only thing these devices have in common is that they are lightweight! Be sure to research all your lightweight power wheelchair options before making a purchase – and remember, the team at Scootaround is always here to provide expert support and advice as needed.

Below is a list of important features to consider before choosing a wheelchair:

• Portability:  lightweight electric wheelchairs are much easier to transport than standard or heavy-duty chairs thanks to their compact size. They typically either fold up or disassemble into separate pieces, making them great for travel or weekend outings. All of our models also come with airline approved batteries. Think about how you will be using your lightweight powerchair and what level of portability you require.

• Maneuverability:  in general, lightweight powered wheelchairs have smaller turning radiuses than standard powerchairs. This allows you to navigate tight spaces and narrow doorways, which can be a necessity if you live in a cramped apartment or older home.

• Size:  as you’d imagine, lightweight electric wheelchairs tend to be significantly smaller than other power wheelchairs. Pay special attention to the width of the device, as it will need to fit through the doorways in your home and workplace. Be sure to check the product specs prior to purchasing.

• Weight Capacity:  lightweight motorized wheelchairs typically have a weight capacity between 225 and 300 pounds. Consider how much weight your powerchair will need to handle.

• Comfort:  seat depth and seat width will affect the comfort of the chair. Be sure to also look at the material the seat is constructed from and if it comes with a cushion. An adjustable headrest, armrests, and leg rests will help make your chair more comfortable, as will accessories like storage bags or a cup holder.

• Technology:  some lightweight electric power chairs come with Bluetooth remote control and can lock/unlock via an app. Consider if this added functionality is important to you.
