Advice & Tips
Many folks seem to think using an electric wheelchair will limit activities. Au' contraire! It improves mobility. A van is not necessary for transport. There are gadgets that go on the rear of the car which hold wheel chairs. City buses must now allow for the transport of wheelchairs, with canvas bags of various bags I can carry quite a lot. They cost between $5500 and $20,000 +, payable by insurance, medicare, medicaid.
