Electric Mobility Powerchairs
Ever since their inception in the 1930s, collapsible wheelchairs have perhaps been the most recognisable and widespread mobility aid in the world. While they have existed since time immemorial, these implements became more widespread than ever in the past hundred years, and are nowadays the type of device most associated with reduced mobility or physical impairment.
Even more recently, a new type of wheelchair was developed which takes the concept to a whole new level, requiring much less effort on the part of the passenger while significantly expanding his or her range of options by making locomotion motorised. These devices have become known as power chairs, and are the most popular and best-selling mobility aid in western society today.
