Wheelchairs - electric, manual, lightweight and folding models

Wheelchairs are available in electric, manual, lightweight, and foldable models with varying dimensions, wheels, weight, and features. The range includes models for both short-distance mobility and regular use, with options that can be adapted based on space, transport, and desired driving function.
Electric models
Electric models are motor-driven and usually controlled via a joystick. They can feature a foldable design, battery operation, and varying ranges depending on the model. Weight, total width, battery type, maximum load, and folded dimensions are important specifications to compare. Some models are particularly compact and can be folded for easier storage and transport.
Manual models
Manual models have large or small wheels depending on the design. Larger rear wheels with handrims allow the chair to be propelled manually, while transport models often have smaller wheels and are designed for smooth movement and easy handling. Brakes, armrests, and footrests may vary between models.
Lightweight models
Lightweight models have a design that reduces the total weight of the chair and can be easier to lift, move, and transport. Materials, frame construction, seat width, and maximum load vary between different models.
Foldable models
Foldable wheelchairs take up less space during transport and storage. Depending on the model, the frame, backrest, and footrests can be folded or removed. Check the chair's folded size if it is to be transported in a car or stored in a confined space.
Frequently asked questions
Which dimensions are important to check? Seat width, seat height, total width, maximum load, and product weight are key details. For electric models, battery and range are also important, while folded dimensions are particularly relevant for transport.
Wheelchairs are therefore available in several designs, from electric and manual options to lightweight and foldable models with various wheels, seats, and transport solutions.
