Powered wheelchairs

A powered wheelchair is a great option if you need to stay seated most of the day. We’ll help you choose a make and model that’s right for you.

Standard powered wheelchairs

These have a relatively basic range of seating adjustments and limited additional equipment or modification options.

They're fitted with standard seats and controls. Some models can be folded or taken apart, to fit in a car and be transported.

Talk to a dealer to find out about the different options, the cost, and what might be right for you.
