Manual wheelchairs are alternatives to power wheelchairs as they are simple to use and are cheaper compared to power wheelchairs. They’re ideal for users who don’t require much features and simply want a wheelchair that they can use easily and on a day-to-day basis.
Another benefit is that most manual wheelchairs are portable and can be folded up or be disassembled so that they can fit in the boot of a car. This makes them even more versatile as users can bring their manual wheelchairs to shopping malls, a friend’s house or even a trip down to the shops.
Active Mobility stock a wide range of portable manual wheelchairs. Today we’ll be showcasing our most popular portable manual wheelchairs.
