Electric Wheelchairs
Electric wheelchairs are available in three basic configurations:
Rear wheel drive
This style of wheelchair generally has 4 wheels with the motorised wheels at the rear of the chair and a pair of smaller castor wheels at the front.
Mid wheel drive
Often built with 6 wheels, the motorised wheels are set in the centre with a pair of castors at the rear and another pair of castors at the front.
Front wheel drive
This style is basically the reverse of a rear wheel drive chair. The motorised larger wheels are set at the front of the chair with a pair of smaller castor wheels placed at the rear.
