Benefits of a Folding Electric Power Wheelchair

You'll need an electric wheelchair that can be carried in a bag when traveling by car or plane. The best folding electric wheelchairs can be easily transported without disassembly.

They also weigh less and are therefore easier for users or caregivers to lift and load into a vehicle. Here are some of the top features to look out for in the portable power chair:

Portability

Typically electric wheelchairs are heavy and bulky. They are difficult to transport without a van or ramp. Recent advancements in the design of power chairs have allowed manufacturers to produce portable chairs that are simple to carry in your car and fold up to be stored when not in use.

The folding electric power wheelchair is a great option for individuals and families who travel frequently. These chairs are often airline approved and allow you to fly with your wheelchair without needing to disassemble it or having it broken into smaller pieces. Depending on the model you choose, these wheelchairs can also provide a dazzling driving range of as much as 17 miles.

These lightweight power wheelchairs are also easier to maneuver than regular models in tight spaces. They are narrower and lighter, which makes them suitable for most doors in older homes and apartments and elevators and hallways of cruise ships. Many of these chairs are available with two different battery sizes, giving you the flexibility to select one that meets your needs.

Take a look at the dimensions of a mobility wheelchair that folds to ensure that it can fit into your car trunk or back seat. You can usually find the dimensions on the page of the product under "chair details." Make sure to take a look at both sets of measurements - the first is for the size of the wheelchair when it's not folded, and the second is the dimensions of the wheelchair when it's fully collapsed.

If you're worried about the expense of a folding electric power wheelchair, remember that the majority of Medicare recipients are eligible for coverage under their Part B Durable Medical Equipment (DME) benefits. You'll need to undergo a face-toface examination and a written prescription from your doctor to be eligible for this kind of funding. This will allow you to cover a large portion or even the complete cost of your new wheelchair. Contact your Medicare provider for more details about how to apply for this insurance.
