What's the difference between a power wheelchair and a scooter?
A power wheelchair is controlled with a joystick and generally offers better indoor maneuverability and more seating/positioning support. A scooter is steered like a tiller and usually suits someone with more upper-body strength and control who mainly needs help with distance and fatigue, not full seating support.
Will a power wheelchair fit through my doorways?
Measure your narrowest interior doorway width first, then compare it to the chair's overall width (not just the seat width — armrests and wheels add to it). Most standard interior doors are 28-32 inches; compact/folding power wheelchairs are built with this in mind.
How long does a charge last?
It varies by battery size and terrain, but most models are rated for a specific mileage range on a full charge. If you'll be out most of the day or covering long distances, ask about extended-range battery options before you buy.
