I've just recently found out that I'm going to start having to use a power wheelchair to get around due to worsening Cerebral Palsy and extreme leg fatigue brought on by walking short distances. I was wondering if anyone else that uses a Jazzy Select power wheelchair could give me some tips on how to safely drive it. Thanks a bunch to everyone that answers!
I service wheelchairs, and I am not real sure what you are looking for here. Power chairs are not real hard to control, but you'll want to make sure you have at least two speed settings- indoor and outdoor.
Set the indoor speeds so the chair is almost sluggish- this allows you to control it gently through doors, etc. Outdoor can be pretty much whatever you can handle- but remember that too much speed is just as dangerous in wheelchairs as it is in other vehicles.

I am going to have to buy a van for my husband who needs to have a power wheelchair. I'm not sure if I need to buy a van thats already wheelchair accessible(which is more expensive) or if I can just buy a regular min van and buy the ramps for him to get in. I'm just not sure if the height is high enough for him to drive into the van? The wheelchair looks like one of those hover rounds chairs.
If he can walk a little there are liftes that can be put in the back you use the back door.If not you will need to get a conversion van Fr more head room they also make liftes for side doors.
I bought my Dad an expensive power wheelchair but his doctor doesn't want him to use an electric one. I want to donate the chair to someone who really needs one. Where do I start?
contact the disabled american veterans or your local vfw chapter.when my brother passed away we donated his wheelchair to our local vfw where jack was a member.bless you and good luck.
Total length of ramp when expended is 42 inch; Weight of ramp (gate) 16 lbs .easy to lift; Weight Capacity of Ramp: Up to 500 lbs
Fits all 2" Receiver, hitch class III or IV; Folding ramp can also be locked flat when not in use; Heavy duty folding hitch makes our carrier more rigid and stronger
Heavy duty steel construction; Durable black powder coated finish; Platform dimension : 30 X 50 inch
The batteries in the chair are dead and my wife comes home from hospital tom'w. No time to get ones made for power wheelchairs.
A car battery will work for a while but a marine deep cycle battery would last longer.
We have a Rascal power wheelchair. We need to know what type(s) of vehicles we can put a power lift into. My mother, age 80, will be driving so would like as small a vehicle as possible.
I don't know where you live...but put in your search engine "carlift" and check the list.
Something will be in your area. and you can get more proper advice from experts.:)

In November, I did a post about Justin Verzaal, a 14 year old Hoggard High School student whose dream it has been to find a sport he could play while racing around in his power wheelchair. Justin was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at birth, but that has not stopped him from wanting to play sports. In a unique opportunity Justin got to witness the National Wheelchair Hockey League Championship held last summer at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC. By November, he had officials at John T. Hoggard willing to help and the founder of the Carolina Fury excited about the prospect of an expansion team in Wilmington. Little did anyone know that not even three months later the Wilmington Hotwheels would be ready to match up against the Carolina Fury.
