Depending on where you look, a new electric wheelchair can be very expensive or pretty cheap – at least compared to others available on the market. Unfortunately, electric wheelchairs are not the same a scooters or other electric vehicles that you can probably buy second hand without any bad consequences. They are medical devices that could cause a lot of trouble if they’re not in good enough condition. As a result, most experts will recommend that you buy them brand new.
When you purchase an electric wheelchair, the price will depend a lot on certain factors, including the following:
- The brand of the wheelchair;
- How many advanced features it has for safety and medical assistance;
- Its power and reliability (including how long the battery lasts and how quickly it can be charged);
- The comfort factor.
If you look on most online stores and motorized wheelchair Denver stores, they will show you a general pricing range of about $900 to more than $2,500, depending on the aforementioned criteria. Check the features of the electric wheelchairs you find online against the factors shown above to decide which ones can offer more value for your money. Also, don’t forget to check the reviews and do a little research into the background of the brands and manufacturers whose names are associated with the wheelchairs you’re looking to buy.
