(PRWEB) August 19, 2005 — According to e-ElectricWheelchairs.com, a wheelchair is a mobility device that enables a sick or a disabled person to move. It™s basically a chair mounted on wheels, which can be propelled either manually or electrically. Electric wheelchairs are powered by motors. They can be used indoors and outdoors and cost at least $1,500. Depending on the kind and extent of use, there are several kinds of wheelchairs available on the market. Some features to consider when buying a wheelchair are the weight and size of the person using it, convenience of both indoor and outdoor use, the chair™s weight capacity, power source, warranty and cost. Electric wheelchairs are now being designed according to the users’ requirements. Advanced technologies like spring suspension, pneumatic wheels and hydraulic systems are being applied to increase the wheelchair™s strength and durability. There are basically three types of electric wheelchairs, including rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and mid-wheel drive. According to e-ElectricWheelchairs.com, when purchasing a wheelchair the above considerations are only the start of choosing the right design. Other important considerations are the dimensions of the chair™s backrest and whether it will be foldable and/or able to recline; the dimensions and upholstery of the chair™s seat; automatic or hand brakes; the type of controls; kerb climbers and whether or not the wheelchair will be outfitted with lights.
