What is the Best Wheelchair for Travel? Lightweight Foldable Wheelchairs Ready to Go!

There is one major problem for wheelchair users that many people don’t realize until they already have a chair. Transporting it!

Some wheelchairs are heavy. This makes them difficult to lift and load. Especially for users with older caregivers or spouses who are responsible for that duty. Others are too big or bulky to fit into the trunk of an average sedan or small car.

Anyone who needs a wheelchair at home is going to need one while traveling or on vacation, right? Some people can walk fine at home but need a portable wheelchair for longer distances.

The best wheelchairs for travel are small and lightweight so they are easy to load, lift, and manage as you go about your journey. Plus, they should be durable enough to withstand the abuse of constant folding, unfolding, and stowing.

So, in this guide, I’m going to show you what your travel wheelchair options are and teach you what to look for. Plus, as a custom wheelchair specialist at a home medical equipment company, I am going to share some of my favorites with you.

Types of Wheelchairs

You can find several different types of wheelchairs for travel, be it for yourself or someone you love. The two prominent categories are electric/powered and manual. My reviews later on cover good choices for both.

Manual wheelchairs either get self-propelled by the user or are just pushed by someone accompanying the rider (aka a transport wheelchair).

They’re pretty simple to use, and they’re very similar to the wheelchairs you can borrow at many places. Manual travel wheelchairs often mean keeping a smaller profile and easier transportation during a trip.

Powered wheelchairs have electric batteries so they can run on their own if they have a sufficient charge. They can also be self-powered by the user if they need or want to.

Power Chairs vs Manual Wheelchairs: The Pros and Cons

In deciding between lightweight power and manual chair options, you need to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each one.

Manual Wheelchair Pros :

Manual wheelchair cons:, power wheelchair pros :, powered wheelchair cons:, best travel wheelchair buying guide.

Not all wheelchairs are the same, so it can be hard to know what to look for in a good travel wheelchair. Here is a checklist you can use to “roll your way” through the analysis.

• Lightweight : Travel wheelchairs have to be light enough that they can be easily moved in and out of cars, buses, and other modes of transportation all throughout your trip. Make sure you choose a lightweight wheelchair that folds quickly and easily.
• Durability : Users love travel wheelchairs for their weight, function, and size. However, you need to be sure that any travel wheelchair you get is sturdy enough while you’re on the road.
• Simplicity : Travel wheelchairs need to be simple to set up, collapse, and generally use while you’re out and about. Test your wheelchair for this before your trip, and hopefully while you’re still in a money-back guarantee or return period.
• Comfort : If you or someone you love is going to be using a travel wheelchair every single day of a trip, then they need to be comfortable while in it. Otherwise, the vacation can quickly be ruined. Seating is paramount here, especially in regard to width, depth, and back support.
• Cushioning : This is sometimes added to travel wheelchairs to assist with support, stability, and comfort. Preventative cushions are good for extended use, positioning cushions improve posture and navigation, while gel cushions generally add more comfort.
• Chair Height : This is different from seat height, as it is how tall the entire travel wheelchair is. This will impact how simply or quickly the wheelchair can be stored in vehicles, folded down, maneuvered, and transported around.
• Chair Weight : Powered wheelchairs usually weigh more, but most wheelchairs will range from as light as 19 pounds to as much as 65 pounds or more, based on specific features and accessories.
• Armrests : Flip-up or removable armrests make transfers and transportation much easier. When in position, they should provide support and comfort.
• Leg Rests : These are also supposed to provide comfort and support to the user. The primary thing to look for is leg rests that can swing away or be adjusted since this influences the transferability of that wheelchair.

The Best Travel Wheelchairs

Without further adieu, it’s time to review 7 of the best travel wheelchairs. These reviews include both folding, lightweight power chairs, and lightweight folding manual options.

Each one selected has a description you can read, plus a shortlist of the pros and cons of the model.

One of the most portable wheelchairs on the planet

Quick-release wheels pop off to make it easier to lift

Back folds down so that the chair is easier to load

Includes 1″ back and seat cushion for comfort

Lifetime frame warranty

Sizing is limited so it won’t fit everyone

Seat Width: 18″ | Product Weight: 13.5 lbs (without wheels) | Weight Capacity: 220 lbs

I am including this at the top of my list of travel wheelchairs because it is the lightest and easiest-to-transport standard wheelchair you will find.

The total weight of the chair is 19 lbs if you leave the rear wheels on. But, if you pop them off with the quick-release button, the weight goes down to 13.5 lbs. Nearly anyone can handle loading that weight into the trunk of the car.

It also folds down into a very small, easy-to-lift package that is only 28″ x 26″ x 6″. So, it’s going to fit in even the smallest vehicles. You can even get an optional carry bag to make transportation even easier.

But, there are other things to love about this chair too. First, you get a seat and back cushion that are an upgrade over standard wheelchair upholstery. Second, the wheel locks are more robust than many of the Featherweight wheelchair’s competitors.

Finally, there are hand brakes on the back of the chair for the caregiver to use.

The only drawback is the limited 18″ seat size and 220 lbs weight capacity. But, a heavier-duty version is coming soon. Click here for a sneak peak !

Here is a quick video demonstration from Joseph, the designer of the chair. Take a look and then head over to 800wheelchair.com to learn more .

Ergonomic design

Slips through even narrow doors

One of the lightest wheelchairs available right now

Caregiver-friendly hand brakes

Suggested for smaller and mid-sized individuals, not larger folks

Tires are sometimes hard to remove

Seat Width: 16″, 18″ | Product Weight: 19.8 lbs | Weight Capacity: 220 lbs

If your priorities are transportation and storage, then take a close look at the Karman Ergo wheelchair. It’s as strong as it is portable, and it does well in both categories.

The frame is only 14.5 pounds with a total weight of just under 20 pounds, so you can take it almost anywhere. It folds up easily and the wheels are removable to make it easier to carry too.

Here’s what I love about the Karman Ergo chairs: the seat frame has small curvatures that match the curves of your seating surface (aka booty). The S-shaped seating prevents unwanted pressure, promoting better posture.

If you are in your wheelchair for long periods of time, you’ll feel a noticeable difference.

For users with caregivers, companion brakes help engage the brakes without having to bend down.

This chair is available in 2 formats: a transport chair with small wheels that must be pushed by a caregiver AND a self-propelled model that the user can move themselves with.

Medline Excel Aluminum Transport Chair with 12-inch Wheels

Seat Width: 19″ | Overall Width: 24.5″

Larger wheels improve performance outdoors

Will fit in all kinds of vehicles

Fold down back for simple storage

Slips through doorways easily

Brake levers are difficult at first

Footrests can be tricky to install

Seat Width: 18″ | Product Weight: 23.5 lbs | Weight Capacity: 300 lbs

For seniors who don’t push themselves in their wheelchairs and have caregivers, I really like this transport chair from Medline.

It is a really good choice too for someone who needs a comfortable lightweight wheelchair for narrow doorways . Safety is also a top priority, given the loop-lock handbrakes and attached seat belt.

The handbrakes on the back are easier for caregivers to operate and keep the chair in control at all times. The larger wheels on the back give a smoother ride over obstacles or rougher surfaces.

The seat is made of nylon and is breathable, comfortable, and cleans with a quick wipe down. Plus, you can adjust the footrest as well.

Sturdy aluminum framing comes in red or blue. In either color, it has a powder coating to prevent rust and other deterioration.

RELATED: Outdoor Walkers for Seniors

Seat Width: 17″ | Overall Width: 21.5″

Seat Width: 19″ | Overall Width: 23.5″

Seat Widths: 17″, 19″ | Product Weight: 26 lbs | Weight Capacity: 250 lbs

The steel frame of this one provides durability and stability, giving this chair a long service life. This does make it a bit heavier than some of the other chairs but it is still manageable for most people at 26 lbs total weight.

The leg rests are both swing-away and removable to make getting in and out of it safer. Cushioned armrests and an included seat belt round out the features. You get a choice of seat sizes too.

This wheelchair is a good choice for people who need a chair for occasional local travel that is inexpensive but made well too.

RELATED: Best Transport Wheelchairs

Heavy Duty Travel Chair for Larger Users

Increased weight capacity for larger folks

Heavy-duty but lightweight aluminum frame

Flip back desk-length arms for getting close to tables

Larger wheels for a smoother ride

Seat depth is a bit short

May be a bit wide to use in smaller homes

Seat Widths: 24″ | Product Weight: 31 lbs | Weight Capacity: 400 lbs

The problem with heavy-duty wheelchairs is that they are often heavy. This is because extra parts are required for them to support extra weight. The added weight can make them difficult to travel with.

But, the Graham Field (E&J) bariatric transport chair is lightweight and durable too. It is designed to support larger people with a 24″ wide seat and a 400 lb weight capacity. And, the total weight of the chair is just 31 lbs. That’s a weight most people can handle.

One potential drawback to watch for is that the overall width of this chair is 30.25 inches. So, it may not maneuver well in smaller homes. But, if you just use it out in the community it will work just fine. The frame folds easily and fits into most vehicle trunks

While you are out, you can roll yourself to any table thanks to the flip-up desk-length arms.

Extremely lightweight and easy to fold for travel

Back folds down for easy loading even in small cars

Goes 11 miles between charges

Folds in one piece – no disassembly required

Airline approved!

Smaller wheels might give a bumpy ride so keep it on smooth surfaces

Seat Width: 18″ | Product Weight: 33 lbs | Weight Capacity: 250 lbs

If you prefer or need a power chair but think portability is a problem, take a look at the Featherweight Power Chair.

It weighs only 33 lbs and folds into one piece making it extremely easy to transport! Most portable power chairs and scooters have to be disassembled into multiple pieces.

Then, you have to reassemble them when you get to your destination. But, the Featherweight Power Chair stays in one piece. It is even airline-approved.

It has the usual power wheelchair features too: it is joystick-operated and battery-powered. The top speed is 5 mph and it will go about 11 miles between charges. So, it’s powerful enough for a day of shopping.

Because of the limited seat width of 18″ and a weight capacity of 250 lbs, it isn’t going to fit everyone though. The smaller wheels will give a bit of a bumpy ride if you are off the beaten path.

But if a truly portable power wheelchair is what you need, here it is !

Pride Go Chair

Seat Width: 18″ | Product Weight: 128 lbs (Heaviest Piece is 36 lbs) | Weight Capacity: 300 lbs

Pride has made the portable Go Chair power wheelchair for many years now and it has a great track record of reliability and durability.

The chair is portable but it is a bit of a process. The total chair weight is 128 pounds but it disassembles into 4 smaller pieces with the heaviest piece weighing 36 lbs.

Using Pride’s feather-touch disassemble process, you lift the seat off the base, then remove the battery compartment, and finally separate the base into 2 parts.

The process isn’t difficult but not everyone is going to be able to do it. See the video below for a demonstration of this.

The seat and armrests are comfortable enough for long days on the road. But, the speed is slower than some other portable power chairs at 3.7 mph (walking speed is 3 mph fyi) and the range is a bit smaller too – 8.7 miles between charges.

If you will be using it inside your home, it should fit through most doorways fine. The total overall width is only 22.5 inches. Not bad for a lightweight portable power chair !

Check out this video to learn more about the Pride Go Chair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The following questions and answers will hopefully help you determine the best travel wheelchair to buy.

What is a traveling wheelchair?

A traveling wheelchair is one that is easy to transport from place to place because it is lightweight, folds easily, and is much easier to handle than other chairs.

There are lightweight options for both power chairs and manual chairs alike. Use this guide to see the best options.

How do I choose a wheelchair for transportation?

The  best wheelchairs  for traveling are lightweight wheelchairs and folding wheelchairs. These two characteristics make them much easier to take along because they can be loaded and unloaded quickly and easily.

Lightweight transport wheelchairs are a popular travel wheelchair choice too if you have people travelling with you who will be able to push the chair for you.

Should I buy a power chair or a manual chair?

Because they fold and are lighter weight, manual wheelchairs are easier to take on airplanes or in and out of vehicles. They’re also cheaper, usually. Having said that, many powered models are also easy to move around.

Also, the battery power means the user or a companion doesn’t have to spend the whole trip getting exercise instead of enjoying themselves.

Do I even need a wheelchair?

If you can’t walk unassisted, or you only get a few steps before needing rest, then a travel wheelchair might be a good idea.

Even if you don’t regularly use a wheelchair at home, or even at all, but use a cane or walker, then you might want a travel wheelchair while you’re away from home.

How do I qualify for a wheelchair?

These aren’t CPAP machines. You can buy one without a prescription. However, it’s a good idea to go through your doctor. He or she can help you select a great model suited well for your current condition and circumstances.

Also, if you can get a qualification or a prescription, you might be eligible for certain medical programs or insurance coverage that pays for some or all of your wheelchairs, although just paying full price on the general retail market is always a possibility.

How long do wheelchairs last?

A typical lifespan for most wheelchairs is 2 to 3 years. Manual wheelchairs might last up to 5 years since they don’t have batteries and motors.

Just keep in mind that the more mileage/use a wheelchair gets, the sooner it will wear out. If you get a travel wheelchair that you only use when on the road, and don’t use at home, it can certainly last longer than these estimates.

How long do wheelchair batteries last?

Most wheelchair batteries, when in new condition and fully powered, should last more than 8 hours, giving the user 10 to 20 miles of coverage.

Battery use over time will make the condition decline, so the charge duration and range will reduce.

Many manufacturers suggest replacing power wheelchair batteries every 18 months, although depending on usage, you might do it as quickly as 6 months or as slowly as 2 years.

In Conclusion

Whether you’re looking for something for yourself or someone you love, travel wheelchairs come in many different options these days.

Whether it’s a powered model that needs to be plugged in every day for easy travel or a manual model that’s lighter and cheaper, anyone constricted to a wheelchair can still get around and enjoy seeing the country or even the world.

If none of these options suit you – check out my list of the best rollator transport chairs . These handy products double as a rolling walker and a wheelchair!

Don’t forget to bring along your best wheelchair gloves with you to protect your hands from blisters and dirt!

For those who are in their senior years, it doesn’t mean age stops them or slows them down.

Some retirees might simply have not been able to travel before now, after years of hard work, so they can finally see the places they’ve always dreamed of going.

Hopefully, all this information makes the quality of life a better thing for you and yours.

Stay up-to-date with helpful, uplifting insights for living your best years with practical tips and resources to maintain your health, independence, and quality of life as you age gracefully.

The Lightest Folding Electric Wheelchair for Travel

If you have limited mobility, a folding electric wheelchair can empower you to be active in your community, go on cruises, and even travel by air wherever you want to go.

About This Guide

I am a lifelong wheelchair user and help run an organization that provides free mobility aids to people who can’t afford them. This guide is the result of extensive research and recommendations from our peer experts in The Ability Toolbox community. Together, we'll help you find the lightest portable electric wheelchair on the market today, and choose the right travel mobility device for you.

Pros and Cons of a Lightweight Folding Power Wheelchair

Lightweight folding electric wheelchairs are an amazing technical innovation, but they’re not for everyone. Before you decide to make a major purchase, you should determine whether this is the right type of mobility aid for you.

Advantages of an Ultralight Portable Power Wheelchair

Great for partially ambulatory people.

If you can walk a little bit but need assistance with distances or hills, a folding power wheelchair will serve you well. They are an outstanding option for people who need some help getting around.

Easy to transport

No wheelchair lift? No problem! Portable power wheelchairs can easily fit into most car trunks or backseats. Most weigh under 60 pounds, and the batteries are removable so you don’t have to lift everything at once.

Perfect for travel

Traveling by air is often risky for power wheelchair users. In 2022, the most recent year for which we have data available, the 10 largest US airlines lost, damaged, or destroyed more than 11,000 wheelchairs and scooters . Most of this damage occurs in the cargo hold when large mobility aids are improperly loaded or secured.

With a travel electric wheelchair, you don’t have to worry about these issues, as they fold small enough to fit into the storage closet within the passenger cabin. They’re also great for cruises that use tender boats as they can be easily lifted. And if you’re visiting someone’s home that has steps, they’ll be much easier to lift than a full-size device.

Easy use and maintenance

Portable power wheelchairs are fairly simple devices with fewer moving parts to break down compared to full-size power wheelchairs. As long as you keep the battery charged and clean debris from the motors, they should last a long time.

Relatively low cost

Electric wheelchairs that fold are much less expensive than larger wheelchairs, even if you’re paying out of pocket. Due to their popularity, they are produced at higher volume, which brings down the price and makes them more affordable to everyone.

Great for emergencies

A folding electric wheelchair makes an excellent spare device for people who use a larger wheelchair. If you have limited space, you can store one in a closet and keep the batteries separate to recharge them periodically, so it’s ready for you if you’re traveling or your primary device breaks down.

Disadvantages of an Ultralight Folding Electric Wheelchair

Not suited for full-time use.

If you are not ambulatory at all or plan to spend all day, every day in a wheelchair, portable devices will probably not meet your needs. They aren’t designed well for people who need to do non-weight-bearing transfers or who need the positioning support and padding necessary to safely use a wheelchair all day without risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores.

Not as comfortable

Folding power wheelchairs have minimal padding and support to help keep the weight low. Which is more comfortable, your recliner at home or the folding lawn chairs you use while camping? The same applies to electric wheelchairs. Of course, you can get an extra seat cushion or back support, but in general, the lighter the wheelchair, the less comfortable it will be.

No positioning features

Full-size power wheelchairs can have features such as elevating legs, recline, tilt, and seat elevation. Folding electric wheelchairs don’t have those functions because they would add too much weight and require much larger batteries. This means that again, they won’t be as comfortable to use for many hours.

Limited outdoor capabilities

Portable power wheelchairs have small front wheels that don’t do well in thick grass or uneven surfaces. However, some are better than others, and we have recommended a model that performs well above its weight — literally — in this area.

Often not covered by health insurance

Many portable electric wheelchairs are designed for the consumer market, meaning they aren't coded for insurance coverage. However, their low price will be similar to what you might pay after your insurance paid its 80%, and you can deduct it as a medical expense from your taxes and countable income for SSDI, Medicaid, and other benefits. 

As you can see, there are some trade-offs when using a folding electric wheelchair, but for the right situation, they’re worth the investment.

The Top 3 Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchairs for Travel

Within the world of portable power wheelchairs, there’s still a tremendous range of weights, with some that called themselves portable even weighing up to 100 pounds! For this article, we are featuring three of the lightest devices on the market, as they will be easiest for seniors and disabled people to load in and out of a car.

Our Top Ultralight: ComfyGo Phoenix Travel Power Wheelchair

Our favorite of the ultralight travel motorized wheelchairs is also the heaviest, albeit only 2 pounds heavier than the other models. For just 2 pounds extra, you get a lot more. For starters, this chair offers the best battery range by far, at 15.5 miles, and the lithium batteries are airline approved. It’s made with a carbon fiber frame that is both lightweight and strong. Best of all, it features larger front casters, which means it performs better outdoors and in grass than most models. Its top speed of 4 mph is typical for these devices; it’s not great, but it’s about the best you can get.

The major disadvantage of this model is the very basic footrest that doesn't swing away, so it may not be as easy to get in and out of the chair. Like all extremely lightweight chairs, the seat doesn’t have much padding, so if you’ll be using it for many hours, you should consider getting an additional cushion.

Overall, we consider the Phoenix the best in its class and our top pick for devices under 40 pounds.

ComfyGo Phoenix Travel Electric Wheelchair -- Only 35 Lbs.

• Folds to fit in a car trunk or airplane cabin closet
• Airline-approved lithium battery with 15.5-mile range
• 4 mph top speed
• Max user weight 240 lbs.

Lightest Weight: Feather Ultralight Folding Electric Wheelchair

Floating into second place we have the Feather Ultralight. It weighs only 33 pounds including the batteries and features 4 mph top speed, which again, is not great but typical for these types of chairs. The battery range is 11 miles, which Is average for these chairs. The swing-away footrests are an excellent feature for people who have difficulty transferring, which could make this chair a better choice than the ComfyGo for some.

Our biggest concern about this chair is the tiny front wheels. If you’re using this device, be careful when going over large thresholds, as getting stuck could cause you to tip forward. It also won’t perform well in grass. Still, we feel that this chair is a good choice for people who need a very low-weight powered mobility aid that doesn’t take up much space.

Feather Ultralight Portable Electric Wheelchair -- Only 33 Pounds

• Airline-approved lithium battery with 11-mile range
• Max user weight 250 lbs.

Best Ultralight Mobility Scooter for Travel: Featherweight

Rounding out our top three recommendations is this mobility scooter made by Feather. At just 37 pounds including the battery, it’s the lightest scooter on the market. If you are looking for better outdoor performance and can use a tiller control, the Feather scooter is an excellent choice.

The Feather portable mobility scooter goes 5 mph, an improvement over the folding power wheelchairs, but the battery only has a 7.5 mile range, so you may want to purchase a second battery and keep them both charged.

More Portable Power Wheelchairs to Consider

As we mentioned above, the lightest portable electric wheelchairs are not always the most comfortable. If you can handle a bit more weight, these devices will offer a significant upgrade in comfort and performance.

Best Overall Folding Electric Wheelchair: ComfyGo Majestic IQ-7000

We've tested and researched dozens of travel electric wheelchairs, and the ComfyGo Majestic is our overall favorite. With its thick cushions and roomy seat, it offers the perfect balance between portability and comfort. While we wouldn't classify it as an offroad wheelchair, it can handle grass and dirt paths much better than other folding electric wheelchair models. It's heavier, but it folds in a way that makes it ergonomically easier to lift than many lighter devices, so don't let the weight put you off from considering it.

ComfyGo Majestic IQ-7000 Folding Power Wheelchair

• Airline-approved lithium battery with 13-mile range
• Max user weight 350 lbs.

Most Innovative Portable Mobility Scooter: Quingo Flyte

If you've been considering getting an accessible van with a ramp but the cost is prohibitive, the Quingo Flyte Mobility Scooter offers an affordable alternative. Its self-loading ramp system fits into the back of many standard vehicles, including minivans and SUVs. The scooter itself is sturdy and durable, and performs well in grass and on dirt paths. It has a higher weight capacity, 350 pounds, than other portable devices. 

With that said, the Quingo Flyte isn't portable in the same way as other devices on this list. It weighs 250 pounds, so it can't be lifted into a trunk without the ramp system. It also can't fit in airplane cabins, and must go in the cargo hold with all the risks of damage that entails. But if you have your own vehicle and air travel is not a concern, it's an outstanding mobility solution for many people. 

Quingo Flyte Mobility Scooter With Self Loading Ramp

• Folds and self-loads into your vehicle's rear hatch
• Non-lithium batteries with 23-mile range. Not airplane cabin compatible

Honorable Mentions

If none of the portable power wheelchairs above are quite right for you, these honorable mentions are recommended by our community.

Metro iTravel Lite Portable Electric Wheelchair -- Only 33 Lbs.

• Airline-approved lithium battery with 10-mile range
• 3.45 mph top speed
• Max user weight 220 lbs.

ComfyGo X-7 Lightweight Folding Travel Electric Wheelchair

• Max user weight 265 lbs.

Top 7 lightweight electric wheelchairs for travel.

When you imagine traveling with an electric wheelchair, one of your first thoughts might be calculating the amount of inconvenience, difficulty, (and perhaps worse) that could happen on your trip... While these thoughts are present among all travelers -let's be honest - traveling with a wheelchair intensifies these possibilities.

If this sounds like you, then you are not alone! There are 25.5 million Americans that have  self-reported travel-limiting disabilities , according to the Bureau of Transportation. So, I ask you: what if you had a wheelchair that was designed to be your travel companion? How would this open your world? Whether you are traveling on vacation or simply exploring your local park, there are electric wheelchairs designed for that purpose!

This list highlights our favorite travel power wheelchairs, educates you on the important features to consider, and answers frequently asked questions. Read on to find your perfect travel wheelchair!

1. Best Overall:  Resten City Wheelchair by 5 Minds

2. Best Storage Space:  Power Wheelchair LiteRider Envy by Golden Technologies

3. Best for Small Spaces:  Jazzy Passport Lightweight Power Wheelchair By Pride Mobility

4. Best Heavy-Duty:  EWheels EW-M45 Power Wheelchair

5. Best Color Options:  Go Chair | Powered Wheelchair By Pride Mobility

6. Best All Terrain:  Geo Cruiser Elite LX Lightweight Power Wheelchair by Pathway Mobility

7. Best on a Budget:  Compact Holding Power Wheelchair By Vive Health

Features to Consider before Purchasing

Battery life.

If you have an active lifestyle that often requires you to move from one place to the other all the time, it’s only wise to choose a wheelchair with enough battery span to keep you working as you want. Most travel wheelchairs have a battery life of about 5-15 miles, depending on which chair you choose. A 5-mile battery might not seem like a lot (in comparison to a 15-mile battery) , but stop and think about it -- 5 miles is a lot! If you are just doing errands or visiting family, a 5-mile battery should be plenty. You will have to charge it more frequently, but most users are okay with that. A 15-mile battery is beneficial for users on vacation, who frequently travel, or who don't want to regularly charge their chair.  Additionally, some wheelchairs come with optional upgrades for backup batteries, which means that you can adventure to your heart’s content without worrying about frequent recharges.

Wheelchair Weight

An ideal travel power wheelchair should be easy to transport when necessary. For most wheelchairs that fold, they tend to be lighter and weigh about 60-ish pounds. Foldable chairs are the easiest to take on the go; simply fold the chair, and the top of the backrest becomes your carry handle. If you have enough storage space for a power wheelchair, then that will be your best option.

Now, imagine this. You are taking a trip, and your car is packed with suitcases and everything. Now, where do you put the power wheelchair? Solution: there are other travel power wheelchairs don't fold, but rather can disassemble into a few lightweight pieces. Those types of chairs are usually about 130-ish pounds, but it's because each piece is an easy-to-handle size/weight. These chairs are best suited for car trunks that also have other items like a suitcase. 

Turning Radius

The turning radius refers to the minimum diameter it takes to turn your wheelchair in a circle. If you will be using your wheelchair primarily indoors, it would be best to get a wheelchair with a tight turning radius. This will allow you to easily navigate around corners and small spaces. If you will be using your wheelchair primarily outdoors, then the turning radius is not as important. Still, consider if there will be small spaces wherever it is you are exploring. 

Storage Space

Another feature that might be more important to some customers than others is storage pieces attached to the wheelchair itself. These include pouches, baskets, and cup holders, and can be incredibly useful whether you like to take drinks and snacks with you on the go or you have a required assistance device that you have to keep on you at all times. 

For valuable items, such as a purse, it’s best to store them in an under-seat storage basket/pouch. Since the storage is right under you, it’s easily accessible and always in your line of sight. Alternatively, if you need to store a water bottle or miscellaneous items, it’s best to use a pouch that’s located on the back of the seat. Keep in mind that the back pouch is a little harder to reach, and you can’t keep a close eye on it. 

Portability

Speaking of taking your wheelchair with you, many wheelchairs are clearly designed with transport in mind. Some are foldable to easily fit in a vehicle or on an airplane; likewise, some have extraneous pieces, such as armrests and footrests, that can be removed so that the wheelchair takes up less space. Certain models can even be entirely disassembled and put back together for ultimate portability!

If you plan on taking your wheelchair outside of your home, it might be worth considering how it will fare in less-than-ideal terrain conditions. Most wheelchairs roll just fine on a hard floor, but even thick carpet can cause trouble for certain types of casters. Many higher-end wheelchairs have flat-free tires that are capable of braving the outdoors, while others come with inflatable rubber wheels that will have a better time on the sidewalk than typical plastic casters but aren’t recommended for all-terrain use. Make sure the wheelchair you buy is ready to take you where you need to go!

Reg M. Wonderful experience. We were able to go to an outdoor market with ease.

Tony Y. No more hesitation to joining my family members on outings I used to turn down, totally against my own desire, my kids' and grandchildren's urge to go out with them. Then later when they come back and share the experience in enthusiasm, I always swear to myself I won't miss it the next time. My first experience on my Travel Buggy City was, that it's just a bit more comfortable than a wheelchair. It was when I started to have got acquainted with the joystick of control, that I felt, what should I call it, the complete freedom. No more getting tired of, either own arms or feeling sorry for the helper, using a wheelchair; no more hesitation to joining my family members on outings, and my confidence is back that I feel I can go anywhere even with longer distance..... At 72, I feel am many years younger. My wife and children are planning to go with me for a cruise to Alaska, right after when the Covid-19 restriction is over. I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

Denis W. My Travel Buggy has improved my ability to get around drastically. My family appreciates having it. I use my travel buggy regularly. I use it for appointments, shopping, and other outings. The more I use it, the more comfortable I feel using it in tight spaces. It is very easy to use. It is also quite comfortable. I was able to attend a convention and sit comfortably in it for about 8 hours. Recently I was able to go to a local you pick and pick raspberries with my wife. I would not have been able to do this without my travel buggy. Thank you!!

There are several types of electric wheelchairs, also known as power wheelchairs, each designed to meet different needs and lifestyles. Here are some of the most common types: Lightweight Folding Electric Wheelchairs: These are designed for easy transportation and storage. They are often compact and can be folded to fit in the trunk of a car. An example is the Travel Buggy DASH ULTRA-LITE .

Power scooters and power wheelchairs, both types of motorized mobility aids, serve similar purposes but have distinct features that make them suitable for different needs and lifestyles. Here's a comparison: Power Scooter: Motorized chair scooters, also known as mobility scooters, are typically designed with a long base and a handlebar for steering. They usually have three or four wheels and a swivel seat. Power scooters are often chosen for their ease of use but are recommended for individuals who have good upper body strength and dexterity. They're great for outdoor use but lack maneuverability indoors. Power Wheelchair: Portable Power wheelchairs, on the other hand, are controlled by a joystick even with limited upper body strength and dexterity and can have a variety of wheel configurations. They're often more maneuverable in tight spaces, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Power wheelchairs can also accommodate more complex seating and positioning needs, which can be beneficial for individuals with significant mobility limitations. They also tend to be more compact and easier to store and transport. At Travel Buggy, our models like the CITY 2 PLUS , VISTA , and DASH ULTRA-LITE combine the best features of both motorized scooters and power wheelchairs. They offer the compact size and maneuverability of power wheelchairs with the comfort and ease of use of power scooters. Plus, they're foldable and portable, making them perfect for travel and easy storage.

Choosing a electric wheelchair that will fit comfortably in the back of your vehicle depends on several factors, including the size of the wheelchair, the car's interior space, and whether the car has features like a large trunk or a ramp. At Travel Buggy, our power wheelchairs are designed to be compact and portable, making them compatible with a wide range of vehicles. Here are some general types of vehicles that are often suitable: Minivans and Vans: These vehicles often have spacious interiors and large trunks, making them ideal for transporting electric wheelchairs. Some are even designed specifically for wheelchair accessibility and come equipped with ramps and lifts. SUVs: Many SUVs have large trunks and ample interior space, making them a good option for transporting electric wheelchairs. The rear seats can often be folded down for additional space. Station Wagons: Station wagons can also be a good option due to their large trunk space and the ability to fold down the rear seats for additional room. Hatchbacks: Some hatchbacks can accommodate an electric wheelchair, especially our DASH ULTRA-LITE model, which is designed to be especially compact and lightweight. Remember, it's important to measure the space in your vehicle and compare it with the dimensions of the wheelchair when it's folded to ensure a good fit. At Travel Buggy, we're committed to providing mobility solutions that fit your lifestyle, and that includes making sure our power wheelchairs are easy to transport in a variety of vehicles.

The cost to rent a wheelchair can vary greatly depending on the type of wheelchair, the rental duration, and the provider. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from $15 to $50 per day for a manual wheelchair, and $50 to $150 per day for a power wheelchair. At Travel Buggy, we focus on providing high-quality power wheelchairs for purchase, offering a range of models to suit different needs and budgets. While we don't offer rentals, we believe that owning a Travel Buggy wheelchair can be a cost-effective and convenient solution in the long run, especially for those who need a wheelchair for an extended period or on a regular basis. If you're considering renting a wheelchair in order to try before you buy, we recommend taking advantage of our 30-day hassle-free return policy to get a feel for your power chair. Always be sure to ask about the total cost, including any deposits or fees, and what support and service the rental company provides. Both buying and renting a wheelchair have their own advantages, and the best choice depends on the individual's specific needs and circumstances. Here are some advantages of buying a wheelchair compared to renting: Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness: While buying a wheelchair requires a larger upfront investment, it can be more cost-effective in the long run if you need a wheelchair for an extended period. Renting can add up over time, and you may end up paying more than the cost of a new wheelchair. Our 0% financing plans OAC make it even more affordable to buy and alleviate any unnecessary stress on your wallet. Customization: When you buy a wheelchair, you can choose the exact model and features that best fit your needs and preferences. You can select the right size, weight capacity, and other features like foldability or travel range. This isn't always possible with rentals, which may have a limited selection. Availability: When you own a wheelchair, it's always available when you need it. You don't have to worry about rental availability or returning it by a certain date. Maintenance and Hygiene: Owning a wheelchair means you're responsible for its maintenance and cleanliness. This can be an advantage as you can ensure it's always kept in good condition and cleaned to your standards. Resale Value: If you no longer need the wheelchair in the future, you may be able to sell it and recoup some of your investment. This isn't possible with a rental. At Travel Buggy, we offer a range of high-quality power wheelchairs for purchase, each designed with different needs and lifestyles in mind. We're committed to helping our customers find the right mobility solution for their needs.

The cost of an electric wheelchair can vary widely based on the model, features, and the manufacturer.

It's important to note that the actual travel range can be influenced by factors such as the user's weight, the terrain, and the overall condition of the wheelchair. Regular maintenance and proper care of the wheelchair and its battery can help ensure optimal performance and extend the travel range.

The lifespan of a power wheelchair can vary significantly based on several factors, including the quality of the wheelchair, frequency of use, and maintenance. At Travel Buggy, we pride ourselves on the durability and longevity of our power wheelchairs, which are built with high-quality materials and components. Moreover, we stand behind our products with an industry-leading warranty that covers: Frame : Our frames, constructed from durable materials like steel or aluminum, are designed to last.

The weight of a wheelchair can vary greatly depending on its design, materials, and features. At Travel Buggy, we offer a range of models designed to be lightweight while still providing robust performance and comfort. Our lightest model is the DASH ULTRA-LITE . Weighing in at just 39 lbs, it's one of the lightest power wheelchairs on the market. Despite its lightweight design, it doesn't compromise on performance or comfort, offering a travel range of up to 9.5 miles on a single charge and a weight capacity of 265 lbs. The CITY 2 PLUS and VISTA models, while slightly heavier, are still designed with portability in mind. The CITY 2 PLUS weighs approximately 58 lbs, and the VISTA model weighs 50 lbs. However, the CITY 2 PLUS features removable wheels, instantly reducing the core weight to 40 lbs. Both models offer a balance of weight, power, and comfort, making them suitable for a variety of needs and lifestyles. Remember, when choosing a wheelchair, it's important to consider not just the weight of the wheelchair itself, but also its performance, comfort, and how well it fits your lifestyle and mobility needs. At Travel Buggy, we're committed to providing a range of high-quality, lightweight wheelchairs to meet these diverse needs.

The lifespan of an electric wheelchair or scooter battery can vary depending on the type of battery, how often the wheelchair is used, and how well the battery is maintained. On average, a battery can last between 1 to 3 years before it needs to be replaced. In terms of daily use, a fully charged battery typically allows for around 8 to 16 miles of travel, but this can vary based on factors like the weight of the user, the terrain, and the model of the wheelchair. At Travel Buggy, our power wheelchairs use high-quality lithium-ion batteries. Here's what you can expect from our models: CITY 2 PLUS Model: This model's battery can last for up to 15.5 miles on a single charge. VISTA Model: The VISTA Model's battery can last for up to 11.5 miles on a single charge. DASH ULTRA-LITE Model: The DASH ULTRA-LITE Model's battery can last for up to 9.5 miles on a single charge. To maximize the lifespan of your battery, it's important to follow proper charging practices. This includes charging the battery fully after each use, not letting the battery fully deplete, and not leaving the battery on the charger for extended periods after it's fully charged. It's also a good idea to store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remember, all batteries will eventually need to be replaced. At Travel Buggy, we offer a 1-year warranty on our batteries, and replacement batteries are available for purchase when needed.

The speed of an electric wheelchair can vary depending on the model and the settings chosen by the user. At Travel Buggy, our all terrain electric wheelchairs are designed to offer a balance of speed and safety. Variable speeds and multiple speed settings are crucial features in electric wheelchairs. They provide the flexibility and control needed to safely and comfortably navigate a variety of environments, from tight indoor spaces to open outdoor areas. Indoor Navigation: When navigating indoor spaces, precision and control are key. Tight corners, narrow hallways, and crowded areas require a slower speed to ensure safe and accurate maneuvering. A lower speed setting allows for careful navigation around furniture, through doorways, and in small rooms. It also provides the user with more time to react to obstacles or changes in the environment. Outdoor Navigation: When outside, users may encounter different terrains, slopes, and larger spaces. A higher speed setting allows users to travel efficiently and comfortably in these situations. Whether it's crossing a large parking lot, navigating a park, or traveling down a long sidewalk, a faster speed can make the journey quicker and more enjoyable. User Comfort and Safety: Multiple speed settings also allow for customization based on the user's comfort and skill level. New users or those with limited mobility may feel more comfortable at a slower speed, while more experienced users may prefer a faster setting. The ability to easily adjust the speed ensures that the wheelchair can be tailored to the user's needs and preferences, enhancing both comfort and safety. At Travel Buggy, all our power wheelchairs, including the CITY 2 PLUS , VISTA , and DASH ULTRA-LITE models, feature intuitive 360 joysticks with 5 speeds and a top speed of 4.5 mph. This allows users to easily adjust the speed to suit their environment and comfort level, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Traveling with an electric wheelchair on an airplane involves a few steps to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey. Here's a guide on how to do it with a Travel Buggy wheelchair: Inform the Airline: When booking your flight, inform the airline that you'll be traveling with an electric wheelchair. Different airlines have different policies, so it's important to understand these ahead of time. Prepare Your Wheelchair: Make sure your wheelchair is ready for travel. This includes fully charging the battery and folding the wheelchair if possible. For Travel Buggy wheelchairs, all models are foldable and designed for easy travel especially due to the extra-long driving range of up to 15.5 miles on a single charge. Check-In: At the airport, you'll need to check in your wheelchair at the ticket counter. They will give you a tag for your wheelchair. You can use your wheelchair all the way up to the boarding gate. At the Gate: At the gate, inform the airline staff that you're traveling with an electric wheelchair. They will assist you in transferring to one of the airport's wheelchairs and will take your wheelchair to be stored in the cargo hold. All Travel Buggy models come with quick release batteries that can be removed from the wheelchair and be carried with you in your carry-on. Customers also love our battery bag for easy and safe storage of your long-range batteries. Arrival: Upon arrival, your wheelchair will be returned to you at the gate or at baggage claim, depending on the airline's policy. Remember, each airline may have slightly different procedures, so it's always a good idea to check with them before your trip. Travel Buggy wheelchairs are designed to make travel as easy as possible, with features like easy folding and airline-approved batteries. Safe travels!

Folding a power wheelchair has never been easier. Travel Buggy offers a simple 1-step fold process : Simply press or pull the release lock depending on the model and press down on the chair back. All travel Buggy models stand stably upright when folded and can be rolled like a suitcase. Remember, it's always a good idea to refer to your specific model's user manual for detailed instructions. At Travel Buggy, we design our power wheelchairs with user-friendly features to make folding and transportation as easy as possible.

The width of a door to accommodate a wheelchair can vary depending on the size of the wheelchair. However, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards recommend a minimum width of 32 inches for a door's clear opening to allow for comfortable and safe passage of a wheelchair. At Travel Buggy, our power wheelchairs are designed with compactness in mind to fit through most standard doorways. Here are the widths of our models: CITY 2 PLUS Model: The overall width is 23 inches. VISTA Model: The overall width is 24 inches. DASH ULTRA-LITE Model: The overall width is 24 inches. These dimensions allow our wheelchairs to comfortably pass through most standard doorways. However, it's always a good idea to measure the doorways in your home or any other environment you'll be navigating frequently to ensure your wheelchair will fit comfortably.

Operating an electric wheelchair by yourself can be done with ease once you understand the controls and practice a bit. Here's a general guide on how to operate an electric wheelchair: Understand the Controls: Electric wheelchairs typically have a joystick on the armrest that controls movement. Pushing the joystick forward moves the wheelchair forward, pulling it back moves the wheelchair backward, and pushing it to the left or right turns the wheelchair in those directions. There may also be buttons to control the speed and turn the power on and off. Travel Buggy wheelchairs come with intuitive 360-degree joysticks that are nimble and responsive to offer the best driving experience for you, while maintaining safety. Start Slowly: If you're new to using an electric wheelchair, start on the slowest speed setting until you get the hang of the controls. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually increase the speed. Practice: Spend some time practicing in a safe, open area. Practice moving in all directions, turning, and stopping. This will help you get a feel for how the wheelchair responds to the controls. Safety First: Always prioritize safety. Avoid steep slopes and uneven surfaces, especially until you're very comfortable with the controls. Use caution when navigating around people or obstacles. At Travel Buggy, our power wheelchairs are designed with user-friendly controls to make operation as easy as possible. We also provide comprehensive user manuals and customer support to help you get started: Detailed Manuals: Our comprehensive user manuals provide step-by-step instructions on how to operate our power wheelchairs. They cover everything from the basic controls to more advanced features. Quick Start Guides: For those who want to get moving quickly, our quick start guides provide a brief overview of the essential information you need to start using your wheelchair. How-To Videos : We've created a series of how-to videos that visually guide you through the process of setting up and operating your wheelchair. These videos can be particularly helpful if you're a visual learner. Unboxing Instructions : Our unboxing instructions guide you through the process of unpacking your new wheelchair and getting it set up for the first time. Customer Support : If you have any questions or run into any issues, our customer support team is always ready to help. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance. Remember, it's normal to need a little time to get used to operating a new electric wheelchair. Start slowly, practice in a safe area, and make use of the resources we provide to help you get comfortable with your new wheelchair. At Travel Buggy, we're committed to making mobility easy and accessible for everyone.

Driving a wheelchair up a steep ramp requires careful maneuvering and control. Here are some general tips for safely navigating a steep ramp with a power wheelchair: Approach Straight On: Always approach the ramp straight on, not at an angle. This helps maintain balance and prevents the wheelchair from tipping sideways. Maintain a Steady Speed: Don't try to rush up the ramp. Instead, maintain a steady, controlled speed. Most power wheelchairs, including Travel Buggy models, have variable speed settings that allow you to adjust the speed to a level that feels comfortable and safe. Lean Forward: If possible, lean your body slightly forward as you ascend the ramp. This can help maintain the wheelchair's balance. Avoid Stopping Midway: If possible, avoid stopping midway up the ramp, as it can be difficult to start moving again on a steep incline. If you must stop, ensure the brakes are engaged to prevent the wheelchair from rolling backward. Use a Spotter if Needed: If you're new to navigating ramps or if the ramp is particularly steep, having a spotter can provide an extra level of safety. They can help guide you and provide assistance if needed. Remember, safety should always be your top priority. If a ramp seems too steep or unsafe, it's best to seek an alternative route or ask for assistance. At Travel Buggy, our all terrain wheelchairs are designed with safety features and controls to help you navigate various terrains and inclines with confidence.

Choosing the best wheelchair for a cruise depends on several factors, including the individual's mobility needs, the layout of the ship, and the types of activities planned during the cruise. Here are some general features to look for: Compact and Maneuverable: Cruise ship cabins and corridors can be tight, so a compact and maneuverable travel wheelchair can make navigation easier. Foldable: A foldable electric wheelchair can be a great asset on a cruise ship, as it can be easily stored in the cabin when not in use. Durable and Reliable: The travel wheelchair should be durable and reliable, capable of handling a variety of surfaces and conditions. Comfortable: Comfort is key, especially for longer trips. Look for a wheelchair with a comfortable seat and backrest, and consider features like adjustable armrests and footrests. At Travel Buggy, our portable electric wheelchairs are designed with these considerations in mind. For instance, our CITY 2 PLUS and VISTA models are compact and maneuverable, making them great for navigating on a cruise ship. They're also foldable for easy storage in your cabin. Our DASH ULTRA-LITE model, being our lightest model, is especially easy to transport and store, making it an excellent choice for travel, including cruises. Remember, it's always a good idea to check with the cruise line about their specific policies regarding wheelchairs and to consider the specific layout and amenities of the ship when choosing a wheelchair.

Yes, you can carry a portable electric wheelchair on a flight, but there are certain guidelines and procedures that you need to follow. Here's a general overview: Notify the Airline: It's important to notify the airline in advance that you will be traveling with an electric wheelchair. This allows them to make necessary preparations and provide you with any specific instructions. Check the Airline's Policy: Different airlines have different policies regarding electric wheelchairs. Some may require that the wheelchair be stored in the cargo hold during the flight, while others may allow it to be stored in the cabin if there's space. Always check the airline's policy before your trip. Battery Requirements: Airlines have specific regulations regarding the types of batteries allowed on flights. Most airlines allow lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in electric wheelchairs, but they may need to be removed and carried separately during the flight. Always check the airline's battery policy. Preparation for the Flight: Before the flight, the wheelchair will need to be prepared for transport. This usually involves folding the wheelchair and securing any loose parts. The airline staff will typically handle the wheelchair from the gate to the plane and ensure it's properly stored during the flight. At Travel Buggy, our power wheelchairs, including the DASH ULTRA-LITE model, are designed to be travel-friendly. They're compact, lightweight, and easy to fold, making them ideal for air travel. However, it's always important to check with your specific airline for their rules and procedures regarding traveling with a portable electric wheelchair.

When it comes to air travel , the best power wheelchair or scooter is one that is compact, lightweight, and easy to maneuver. It should also have batteries that are approved for air travel. All Travel Buggy models are specifically designed for air travel. Here's why: Compact and Lightweight: Our compact design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces like airplane aisles, and it folds easily for storage during the flight. Air Travel Approved Batteries: All our models come with lithium-ion batteries that are approved for air travel. Remember, it's important to always check with your airline for their specific rules and regulations regarding traveling with a power wheelchair and batteries. Easy to Handle: Our models are designed with user-friendly controls, making it easy to operate even in crowded or tight spaces. Comfortable: Despite its compact size, we don't compromise on comfort. All three Travel Buggy models have a padded seat and backrest to ensure a comfortable ride. Remember, when planning to travel with a battery wheelchair, it's important to notify the airline in advance and arrive early to allow time for any necessary assistance at the airport. At Travel Buggy, we're committed to providing mobility solutions that fit your lifestyle, including travel-friendly models for your adventures .

Used Wheelchairs Near Me (2023): Where to Buy & How to Get the Best Deal

By kbeveridge

A wheelchair can help people with reduced mobility problems, but it can also be expensive for some users. If you need a wheelchair for more than a couple of weeks, renting one will be more expensive than buying one. So, your best option is to find a second-hand wheelchair at an affordable price .

In today’s buying   guide, we help you answer the question “Where can I find used wheelchairs near me ?” and how to get the best deal possible. You’ll also learn the advantages and disadvantages of buying a used wheelchair and what to consider before buying one.

Pros & Cons of Buying a Used Wheelchair

Here are the main pros and cons of buying a used wheelchair compared to purchasing a new one:

• Used wheelchairs are a lot cheaper than brand new ones.
• They are high-quality options with solid features.
• You can find models from popular and reliable brands .
• You can find them online or in yard sales.
• They provide reliable support and comfort.
• You can negotiate the price if you find the wheelchair in a yard sale.
• They do not have good lifespans.
• Finding one that fits your needs can be challenging.
• You risk being scammed when buying a used wheelchair.

Used Wheelchairs for Sale by Owner – How to Find Used Wheelchairs for Sale Near Me?

The best way to find a used wheelchair for sale is to look in places like yard sales, Facebook, and other social media platforms. However, it is essential to know that buying used wheelchairs from previous owners can lead to scams and bad experiences.

Facebook and Other Social Media Platforms

The first thing you can do is check on Facebook Marketplace  to see if you can find the right type of wheelchair. Facebook has some policies that make it hard to buy or sell new and used wheelchairs, but you can still be lucky and find some high-quality models.

You can also join groups of people looking to get money from used devices like wheelchairs and other related items. In these Facebook groups, you can find everything, from second-hand video games to patient lifts . However, you should be careful with who you deal with and never accept to pick up the wheelchair in an unknown location.

Yard Sales, Goodwill Places, Auction Houses, and More

If you don’t want to buy a used wheelchair on the internet, you can use yard sales and goodwill places. There, you can find manual and electric wheelchairs at extremely low prices. However, it will take you a lot of time to find a suitable wheelchair model unless you get lucky.

Craigslist Used Wheelchairs For Sale by Owner – How to Avoid Getting Scammed?

Craigslist  is a popular online platform people can use to post classified ads for almost every possible item. Here, you can find high-quality new items like TVs, cars, smartphones, and laptops. You can also use it to find used mobility devices like wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters.

Here’s how to buy a used wheelchair on Craigslist.

Find a Seller

You first need to find a seller near your area. Luckily, Craigslist allows you to look for products in your state, city, and county. Keep in mind that manual wheelchairs are not challenging to find. Still, you might have a hard time finding an electric or bariatric model.

Once you’ve found a seller near your area, you can bargain to get a better price. Bargaining is not mandatory, but it can help you get a better deal, especially if you are looking for affordability.

Ask to Meet in a Public Place

Unlike eBay or Amazon, you’ll be buying directly from a previous owner, which can make the process faster and more affordable. However, that can also lead to scams and other dangers.

When buying from someone on Craigslist, you should always choose a public place when picking up the item. Avoid giving your address to anyone, even if the seller offers you free shipping.

Do Not Go Alone

If possible, go with a friend or family member to pick up your new wheelchair. That way, you have someone that can help you in case of an emergency.

Be Careful When Buying Valuable Items

It is difficult to find reliable sellers of valuable items on Craigslist, but it is not impossible. Always remember to examine the device before paying so that you can avoid losing your money.

Used Wheelchairs for Sale on eBay – Tips for Using eBay

eBay  is one of the top online platforms to buy or sell used devices like wheelchairs and lifts. One of its main benefits is that you can use the review section of the platform to find out whether you are buying from a reliable source or not. It also allows you to rate your experience and the product you’ve bought.

Here are the best tips for buying used wheelchairs on eBay:

• Check if the user has sold other products in the past.
• Pay attention to its rating. If it is a reliable buyer, you can contact them directly through eBay.
• Once you’ve settled a price, check whether they can send you the wheelchair or if you have to pick it up.
• As a rule, it is better to pick up the device in a public place and always be accompanied by a friend or family member.

Note: eBay is a safe platform with millions of users worldwide, but you should still be careful when buying from someone you don’t know.

Used Wheelchair Ramps – Where to Buy?

Wheelchair ramps are affordable alternatives to buying a mechanical lift for your home. They tend to offer excellent weight capacity, reliable support, and anti-skid surfaces for better safety. However, they are still expensive, especially if you are working with a tight budget.

One option you have is to find a used wheelchair ramp with the correct design to fit the shape of your house. Additionally, there are also used wheelchair ramps perfect for vans, RVs, SUVs, and other vehicles.

Here are the places you can use to buy a used wheelchair ramp:

• Life Away Mobility
• Facebook Marketplace

Used Wheelchair Lifts for Homes – Where to Buy?

Wheelchair lifts are extraordinary devices with unique designs that can make your life a lot easier and safer. They are meant to last and are difficult to transport , making them a poor option to buy second-hand. However, if you still want a used wheelchair lift for your home, you can find them on certain forums and online platforms.

Here are the best places to look for a wheelchair lift for home:

• Mobility 4 America
• Personal Mobility

Used Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles – Where to Buy?

Wheelchair-accessible vehicles could be the right option for families with members suffering from reduced mobility problems. These easy-to-use devices offer wheelchair access and the necessary space to maneuver. However, they are extremely expensive and can cost up to twice what a standard van costs.

That’s why buying a used wheelchair vehicle is an affordable option for families that require a more reasonable price. The main drawback of buying a used model is that you need to pay extra attention to the van’s technical aspects like the mileage.

Here’s where you can look for wheelchair accessible vehicles:

• Allied Mobility
• United Access

Used Wheelchair Lift for Vans – Where to Buy?

Wheelchair lifts for vans are common tools that many people use to make the transport process a lot easier. They have excellent weight capacity, reliable support, and have good compatibility with many vehicles . However, second-hand or used wheelchair lifts are not common options you can find online.

When buying a used wheelchair lift for your van, ensure that the device works properly before closing the deal.

Here’s where you can look for a used wheelchair van lift:

• Marc’s Mobility
• Griffin Mobility

Used Wheelchairs for Free – How to Get a Used Wheelchair Through Medicare, Medicaid, or VA?

Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs tend to provide you free wheelchairs in certain circumstances. However, each of these institutions has different requirements you need to meet before getting a complimentary wheelchair.

In the case of Medicare , you need a physician recognized by the government to prescribe the wheelchair for you. You also have to find a Medicare-approved wheelchair distributor. If not, Medicare won’t cover your wheelchair at all. Also, you should know that it will only cover 80% of the total price in most situations.

Medicaid also provides free new and used wheelchairs , power scooters, and power chairs for its users. However, the way that it gives the wheelchair will depend on the living conditions of the patient.

People living in Medicaid nursing homes tend to get their wheelchairs almost immediately. That’s because nurses can tell when a patient requires help for moving around the house.

Veterans Affairs

When it comes to the Veterans Affairs (VA) office, you can get a free wheelchair almost immediately as long as a physician recommends it for you. The wheelchair is usually covered entirely by the Veterans Affairs office.

Who Buys Used Electric Wheelchairs?

Electric wheelchairs are the go-to options for many seniors and users with upper-body reduced mobility . However, not all of them can afford a new model as they can cost around 2000 USD. That’s why many people are looking for used electric wheelchairs on the internet and in physical stores.

Here are some places you can use to sell your used electric wheelchair:

• eBay: eBay is the most popular place for buying second-hand devices like video games and other electronic appliances. However, it is also a platform you can use to find used wheelchairs at affordable prices.
• Craigslist: Craiglist is the old-school classified platform that allows you to find a wide variety of items. If you are lucky, you’ll be able to sell a high-quality used wheelchair at a reasonable price.
• CareCure: Carecure is an online forum provided by Rutgers University to provide information about spinal injuries. However, you can use the platform to find and sell used electric wheelchairs.
• The Mobility Market USA: It is an online platform designed to connect people looking to sell or buy used wheelchairs and other mobility devices. You can advertise your used electric wheelchair, and the platform will only charge a small fee once you sell it.
• Inspired SCI Forum: The Inspired SCI Forum offers a classified section for users to sell and buy anything related to mobility. Through that forum, you can find high-quality electric wheelchairs or sell the ones that you have.

Buyer’s Guide: What to Look for When Buying a Used Wheelchair

Here’s what you have to consider before buying a used wheelchair:

• Durability: When purchasing a second-hand wheelchair, you need to know how long it has been used before. The average lifespan of a wheelchair is around four years . As such, if the wheelchair you are buying is more than four years old, it won’t last much longer.
• Comfort: Comfort is an essential aspect of buying a new or secondhand wheelchair. The model you choose should have an ergonomic design , good support, and padded armrests.  
• Reliable seller: Depending on where you buy it, you need to ensure that you buy from a reliable person. You can use the review section from platforms like eBay to see if the person is trustworthy or not.
• Type: One of the main drawbacks of buying a used wheelchair is that it can be challenging to find the style you need. For instance, finding secondhand bariatric wheelchairs from a reliable seller can take you weeks.

In conclusion, buying a used or second-hand wheelchair should be your go-to option if you are looking for affordability. However, it is difficult to find a reliable seller with a wheelchair that will fit your needs.

When buying a used wheelchair, you must ensure it is a suitable model that offers the right weight capacity and ergonomic design. You should also pay attention to the device’s durability, as wheelchairs tend to have a lifespan of only four years. Additionally, focus on finding a model with good comfort and support.

Wheelchair bearings are integral parts of a wheelchair. Fluttering, tracking issues, squeaking, and wobbling usually indicate you have old and corroded wheel bearings. Choosing the right replacement bearings is imperative for avoiding unpleasant noises and increases rolling performance over old worn wheelchair bearings.

Wheelchair wheel locks or wheelchair brakes, available in several styles, are designed to hold a wheelchair stationary. Quality wheelchair brakes or wheel locks are imperative for the safe operation of a wheelchair, easy to replace, and essential in safety and stability when engaged in a task or transferring to and from the wheelchair.

Wheelchair Front Riggings

Customizing your wheelchairs front rigging to improve comfort and chair functionality is important to ensure proper support of the feet and legs.
