Categories of Electric Powered Wheelchairs

There are a wide variety of models available, best divided into three categories:

• Indoor/portable: for use at home or in places with smooth, even flooring such as shopping centres or garden centres. Usually easy to fold for fitting in the boot of a car.
• Outdoor: will have larger wheels for dealing with uneven terrain, as well as suspension to make the drive more comfortable. Can usually be used indoors, too, but their larger size may mean they won’t fit through some doorways.
• Indoor/outdoor: designed to offer the best of both worlds. Will not be as light and portable as some models, nor as robust as others, but may provide a good balance of features.

Powered wheelchairs are either Class 2, meaning they can be used outside on pavements, or Class 3, for use on roads and pavements.

• How fast do electric wheelchairs drive?

  The average electric wheelchair drives up to 4 mph. This is usually the maximum speed attainable without causing damage to the wheelchair. This speed range is chosen for safety reasons and needs to be adhered to at all times. Most electric wheelchairs are programmed not to exceed 4 mph to prevent accidentally going too fast.

• How heavy is a electric wheelchair?

  A basic electric wheelchair can weigh as little as 50 pounds (23 kg). The battery would weigh an additional 10 pounds.

  For more luxurious power chairs, the figure is more like 200-300 pounds (90-140 kg).

• Can electric wheelchairs get wet?

  An electric wheelchair is equipped with electronics that can become damaged if exposed to water. However, this exposure would have to be significant such as a large amount of water splashing into the chair’s motor or other electronics. The good news is most wheelchair motors are covered by plastic for added protection. This added layer of protection allows users to navigate through rain and snow. Ultimately, it’s wise to avoid deep puddles and continued contact with water because it can lead to corrosion and rust.

• How often should I charge my power wheelchair?

  We recommend charging your power wheelchair’s batteries for at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. If you use your electric wheelchair less frequently, we recommend charging the batteries eight to 14 hours twice a week for a maintenance charge.
