Equipped with dual motors that power the main drive wheels, these wheelchairs are easily controlled with a joystick for a smooth and user-friendly experience.
If stability is your top priority, a rear-wheel drive (RWD) wheelchair is an excellent choice. It tracks straight, handles uneven terrain well, and performs reliably at higher speeds. However, due to their larger footprint and turning radius, rear-wheel drive chairs are best suited for outdoor use and may be challenging to maneuver in tight indoor spaces.
For those who need to navigate tight areas at home, work, or in daily life, a mid-wheel drive (MWD) auto wheelchair is a great option. Its enhanced maneuverability and unique configuration allow for easy movement in confined spaces. Most mid-wheel drive power chairs can even turn in a 360° circle within their own footprint, making them highly efficient for indoor use.
