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.
