Power Wheelchair Recommendations

[Tinkhyatt]

I’m sure this has been posted before but I’m hoping for the most current recommendations. I have MS and am no longer able to walk or stand at all. I am a small person but it still gets difficult for my husband to push me up and down the various ramps at WDW. I have a power chair at home but it weighs 380 pounds and we have no way to transport it. In the past, my husband has simply pushed me in a manual wheelchair. However, it is getting difficult for him with his back and knees. Please recommend power wheelchairs you have used in the park that will pose no problems going up the ramps, offer decent battery life, are easy to use/portable, are well made and worry free, etc. Please provide as much detail as possible. I NEED to get back “home.”

Boy, do I understand the need to get "home" again!

Are you looking to purchase a new chair, or rent?

Our friend, @RaySharpton has a lot of info here on his recently purchased "Fold and Go" chair.
