The most important decision when you choose wheelchairs for your customers is if they want a manual or an electric wheelchair. Both have their pros and cons and which is better depends on what the user wants and needs. In this article, we’ll compare manual and electric wheelchairs and make sure you know which is right for your customers.

Manual Wheelchairs: Pros and Cons
They are very easy to use, light, cheap, and most customers love using manual wheelchairs. They are pushed by the user or by a carer. Let’s look more closely at what manual wheelchairs are and are not:

Pros:

Reasonable Cost: Manual wheelchairs are generally much cheaper than electric ones.
Easy to Carry and Store: They are light.
Easy to Repair Manual Wheelchair: Manual wheelchairs are very easy to fix.
Cons:

Requires Physical Energy: You must have enough strength of the upper body to push the chair.
– Not Optimal for Use Over A Long Period of Time: If you require a wheelchair for an extended period of time, manual models are not ideal.
Electric Wheelchairs: Pros and Cons
The powered movement in electric wheelchairs makes them great for those who do not want to exercise much. These models are generally made for the long term and may be more comfortable.

Pros:

User Friendly: These wheelchairs have motorized operation, so you won’t have to do much on them.
Comfortable: These are usually better suited for use in the long run with recliners and footstools.
For a Person With Limited Mobility: Great for those who have limited upper body strength.
Cons:

Costly: Electric wheelchairs are usually much costlier than manual ones.
Bulky: They’re a bit harder to move around and keep clean.
