Electric Powerchairs: The Perfect Solution for Mobility
Since the 1930s, collapsible wheelchairs have been the most recognisable and widespread mobility aid worldwide. While these devices have existed for centuries, their popularity surged in the last hundred years, becoming synonymous with limited mobility or physical impairment.
More recently, electric mobility powerchairs, also called electric wheelchairs or powered wheelchairs, have transformed mobility by combining motorised locomotion with ease of use. These powerchairs are designed to operate with minimal physical effort from users while significantly expanding their range of movement. Today, they are the most popular and best-selling mobility aids across the UK and beyond.
