Power wheelchairs are great at promoting independence and offering the user freedom to travel where and when they want with little effort, however, not every user is suitable for every chair. It is important to consider the needs of the user as well as the convenient features that come with a power wheelchair. If a power wheelchair is not convenient when travelling, you can also consider a lightweight manual KARMA wheelchair for your adventures!
