The power wheelchair has been a common mobility aid for many
years providing many handicapped (paraplegic and quadriplegic)
and elderly people with the chance to be mobile once again.
Without the use of electric wheelchairs many disabled people
had no way to leave their homes, leaving a feeling of isolation.
While manual wheel chairs worked great for some people other
became tired wheeling themselves, especially for long distances.
The result was many people with disabilities had little freedom
or mobility.
After World War 2 George J. Klein invented the very fisrt
motor wheel chair, designed because of war injuries that resulted
in many soldiers becoming paraplegics.
Since the mid 1940s electric powered chairs have evolved
and now you can find a variety of models that can be used
for many type of rugged terrain and reach speeds of up to
6 mph. Motors have become more powerful and chairs have become
lighter with the use of titanium.
