Automatic Folding Wheelchairs

An automatic folding wheelchair folds and opens itself at the press of a button or a remote, so nobody has to wrestle with the frame. Most are lightweight electric chairs built for car travel. Check the folded size against your boot, the weight of the battery and how long a full fold actually takes.
