Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice about buying a Power pack to fit on a transit wheelchair.
My husband has reached the stage with his Lewy Body Dementia where he is no longer able to walk far or safely. I intend to purchase an aluminium light weight chair for him, [ we have one at present borrowed from the Red Cross] but have wondered about adding a power pack as we live in a village where there are hills, not "mountain type" hills but enough to make pushing him difficult. We need the chair to fold to go in the boot of a car, it cannot be folded with a power pack on, and though the information on the power packs say they are easy to put on and take off, I just wondered if the manufacturers idea of easy and mine are the same. An electric wheelchair which the user operates is not an option as he simply cannot do it. We tried him with a scooter and he seized the control in a grip of death and cleared the pavement like a bulldozer!
Has anyone any experience of these Power packs please?
Margaret
