Mobility Scooters And Wheelchairs For Travel

Posted: November 25th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Disability Aid Reviews | Tags: , , , , | 58 Comments »

When you travel, a lightweight, transportable mobility device can mean the difference between simply being at your destination and truly exploring it.

There are several types of options available. A basic travel wheelchair is usually the lightest, however, depending upon the nature of your disability and your physical conditioning, it may require that you have a caretaker available who is capable of pushing you. A much heavier alternative is a power wheelchair. Many people opt for a mobility scooter. These are lighter in weight than a power wheelchair, but they do not require human power for movement.

Here are just some of the many options, all of which are available through CWI Medical.

Lightweight Wheelchair For Travel

Lightweight Wheelchair For Travel

This lightweight wheelchair can be easily transported. At a later date, it can be upgraded to a power wheelchair if your needs change.

High Quality Power Chair

High Quality Power Chair

A power wheelchair is much heavier. For this reason, it has special transportation requirements. For example, rather than a taxi or rental car, you may need to arrange for a special transport van for your longer range ground travel.

Compact Mobility Scooter

Compact Mobility Scooter

A mobility scooter is my personal choice. I have the ability to walk short distances, however my easily transportable scooter can move me longer interior distances or around the neighborhood. This particular model has a range of approximately nine miles on a single charge.

These items, plus many other choices, are available at CWI Medical in their “mobility” department. Please click the banner below.
