An unavoidable number of people in this world face mobility disorder of some kind. There are many mobility equipments like the wheelchair etc that are particularly designed for this kind of people. However, unlike the

 
It is really unfortunate that a significant number of people all over the world are suffering from mobility problem today. A lot of companies have come forward to create utility products for them to help them move easily. The Power Scooter and Power Wheelchair are some of the best mobility aids found for these people. The power scooters or electric scooters consist of a seat along with a foot plate and handlebars to control the movement of the scooter. These are generally three, four or five wheelers. Power scooters are mainly battery operated and can be charged through a separate charger unit.

The Power Wheelchair is also a better substitute for the manual wheelchairs. It offers the rider complete freedom of movement without any requirement of applying muscle power which is the case in a manual wheelchair. But due to lots of advanced mechanism and appliances being added to this type of motorized wheelchairs, the cost of such power wheelchair goes higher. If budget is a concern then perhaps the Power Scooter will serve their purpose quite well. The seat on the power scooter can be easily swiveled without any difficulty whereas the foot support of any typical wheelchair is quite hard to move.

Since Power Wheelchair compiles many motorized appliances, hence the failure of any of these appliances may cause to overall breakdown of the wheelchair. It is recommended that people consult with a physician before using any such mobility equipment. The physician will be able to assess the actual condition of the patient and suggest a power wheelchair or so according to the disability. The Power Scooter on the other hand, has a limited turning radius along with a poor ground clearance for which it becomes difficult to navigate the scooter through certain obstacles.

The Power Wheelchair is basically situated on an x-shaped frame for which it can be folded. The user can attach the seat as well as cushions as per his choice for a comfortable sitting. All these power wheelchairs have different load capacities. These are very easy to carry wherever the user goes because of the excellent dismantling ability of the battery operated wheelchairs. One may not find the Power Scooter to be so user friendly and comfortable for transportation. But of course, both of them are unique and serve the people having mobility problem quite well.
