Choosing the right electric wheelchair comes down to one major question: How do you plan to use it every day?
we know that no two lifestyles are the same. That’s why we offer two distinct options to fit your specific needs. Here is a quick guide to help you decide between our Comfort Model (5001) and our Lightweight Model (5004).
The Comfort Model (5001): Built for Stability

The Lightweight Model (5004): Built for Independence
If you are always on the move, this is your game-changer. Weighing only 35 lbs, the 5004 is the easiest way to maintain an active lifestyle without needing help to lift.
