What are the benefits of owning a travel electric wheelchair?

Portable electric wheelchairs are designed to be as light as possible to allow for travel. They are designed to be used in smaller areas like hotel rooms, cruise ships, apartments, or condos. They are typically not as fast as a full sized power chair, have a limited battery capacity and overall range. A travel power wheelchair should be considered a supplemental device only and not a full time mobility option.
