Remember when mobility scooters weighed several hundred pounds? For many individuals seeking a lightweight mobility solution, leaving the house was a chore, and loading that beast on a vehicle hitch was the last thing anybody wanted to do.
Thankfully, within the last 20 years, Mobility Scooters began phasing out as lighter equipment gained the spotlight. Motorized Wheenchairs quickly gained recognition for the folding design that compacts so nicely, it will fit into almost any car trunk. This is particularly useful for individuals who are looking for an airline approved electric wheelchair. Many Airlines even allow the top 3 picks as a carry on. While I could go on what seems forever about why these electric wheelchairs changed the standard mobility industry forever, I want to clarify what unique features made these our top choices.
