Automatic Wheelchairs

People searching for an automatic wheelchair usually mean a powered chair that drives itself under joystick control, with no pushing needed. Models range from compact folding chairs for trips out to larger chairs for all-day use. Start with where it will be used, how far it needs to go on a charge and how it will be stored.
