Do Electric Wheelchairs Fold Up?

With their compact and lightweight designs, folding electric wheelchairs are easy to transport and fit into most car trunks without needing to disassemble. The folding mechanism simplifies storage, saving space in homes or hotel rooms and most are approved for airline and cruise travel. These chairs serve as a great backup for active manual or electric wheelchair riders who travel frequently.  

There are different types of folding electric wheelchairs, some designed for outdoor use with larger wheels, better ground clearance and longer battery life; as well as chairs with reclining seats for better positioning options and even pediatric wheelchairs that are ideal for children or smaller adults.

What is the difference between a Mobility Scooter and a Folding Electric Wheelchair?

Electric mobility scooters are a great solution if you have difficulty walking long distances but are recommended for individuals who have good upper body strength and dexterity as you need to manually turn the front wheels. Folding electric wheelchairs, on the other hand, are controlled by a joystick so even if you have limited upper body strength they still can be easily maneuvered. 

If a scooter will fill your need, please see our mobility scooter page for more information.
