Understanding the Types of Power Wheelchairs
Full-Sized Power Chairs
Full-sized electric wheelchairs prioritize comfort and all-day support. With center-wheel or mid-wheel drive, they offer a very tight turning radius that makes them excellent indoors, navigating hallways, doorways, and small rooms while still handling outdoor terrain. A great everyday choice for users who want maximum seating support.
Heavy Duty & Bariatric Power Chairs
Designed for larger users and higher weight capacities typically 450-600+ lbs. These chairs feature reinforced frames and stronger motors for durability and stability, and many are built to handle outdoor adventures as well as daily mobility.
Travel & Portable Power Wheelchairs
Travel power chairs are built for portability. They're lightweight and can be disassembled, typically by removing the seat, battery pack, and base, so they fit in a car trunk or storage compartment. They also work well in compact or crowded spaces such as apartments, stores, cruise ships, and malls.
Folding Power Wheelchairs
Folding electric wheelchairs combine portability with full-time use. Instead of breaking into pieces, they fold as a single unit to fit in a trunk or back seat, a convenient option for users who want one chair for both home and travel without disassembly.

Power Wheelchair Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a power wheelchair and a mobility scooter?
A power wheelchair is controlled by a joystick and has a tighter turning radius, making it better for indoor use and tight spaces. A mobility scooter is steered with handlebars and suits users who can step on and off independently and spend more time outdoors. Power wheelchairs generally offer more seating support and maneuverability indoors.
Are power wheelchairs good for indoor use?
Yes. Power wheelchairs, especially center-wheel and mid-wheel drive models, have a very tight turning radius that makes them well suited to navigating hallways, doorways, and small rooms. They are often a better indoor choice than a scooter.
How much weight can a power wheelchair hold?
Standard and full-size power wheelchairs typically support up to about 300 pounds. Heavy-duty and bariatric models can support 450 to 600 pounds or more, depending on the model. Confirm the weight capacity of a specific chair before buying, and our Salt Lake City team can help you match one to your needs.
Can a folding power wheelchair be transported in a car?
Yes. Folding and travel power wheelchairs are designed to fold or break down so they fit in a car trunk or back seat. They are a good fit for users who travel, fly, or need to move the chair between vehicles. Check the folded size and weight for your specific vehicle.
