Question : Is it proper to keep telling a person they should get an electric wheelchair?
Some people act like it is such a chore to push me in the manual chair so they want me to get an electric one. I know it is difficult, but some like pushing me, despite the hard work, so I don't think I need one. I also have problems keeping my balance in those when they stop.
Answer:
No, one should not tell this to anyone with special needs. They should respect the fact that one chooses the type of wheelchair they want or need and people should think nothing of it. Those that offer to push you (with your permission and acting) are using good manners, which is kind of like holding the door open and the like. Those that say that you should get an electric one all the time are not using good manners at all or being respectful to you.

Question : My electric wheelchair won't fit thru the doors at WalMart and they can't transfer me to a scooter- What to do?

The answer is obvious, but I don't want to embarrass you or sound cruel.

Question : Do electric wheelchair motors need the controller?
I'm building a tank-like robot, and i'm buying a pair of wheelchair motors. I was wondering if these motors require the motor controller that was originally on the wheelchair? I'm going to buy some controllers for the tank (that control the flow of electricity from an input signal given by the remote). Would these controllers need to be linked through the original controller or just to the motors?
Answer:
It depends what you want to achieve.For sure the motor controllers provide a great deal of things you want, but reverse engineered-it to modify it for your goal may be quite a challenge.It’s like asking do you need a transmission on a car.There are many vehicles like lawn mowers and tractors that do not have a transmission!Hope this properly answers your questionGuru

Question : Anyone out there know if you can get an electric wheelchair on a pontoon boat?
I'm looking at party barges and would appreciate some first hand knowledge about the accessibility issue...being in a wheeichair myself I need some feedback on the in's an outs, do's & don'ts with party barge/pontoon boats and 300lb wheelchair not including me.So if you or someone you know has dealt with this situation please let me know...thanks.
Answer:
I agree with Tom above. Just make sure that when you do purchase a pontoon, that the deck is big enough that you will be able to move around in the wheelchair. Most pontoons are large enough to hold 12+ people, so I do not think that you will have a problem with the weight of the wheelchair.

Question : Is it rude for someone in a electric wheelchair to run my feet over?
I feel sorry for handicapped people who are in a wheelchair but sometimes when I am walking by them or if I am on the bus, they would run my feet over with the electric wheelchair and not watch where they are going!!!!! So is that still rude of them?! I don’t care if they are in a wheelchair and handicapped or not, that doesn’t give them the right to not watch what they are doing?! Its called having manners.
Answer:
It's rude if they deliberately did it and even ruder if they noticed but didn't apologise.

Question : Please introduce me some famous and global “Electric wheelchair and scooter magazine” in Europe or in Germany.
I have a business trip in Europe.Please introduce me some famous and global “Electric wheelchair and scooter magazine” in Europe or in Germany. Or some Rehab magazine about “Electric wheelchair and scooter”And please tell me where can I buy the magazine.Thanks!
Answer:
I did a little search and a magazine called 'Slate' was mentioned. Seems like there's a lot of people selling--it would be easy to get a bunch of catalogs. Also there are some articles in other magazines, probably for elderly or handicapped. Just do some more research. Probably can subscribe through the Internet too, or find an 800 number.Don't forget the public library--ask the librarian to help you find articles.Live well and do good.

Question : Is a ELECTRIC PERSONAL ASSISTIVE MOBILITY DEVICE (electric wheelchair) considered a vehicle in Texas?
The traffic code governing this is 551.201. We have a debate between another officer and myself whether you can write a DWI on someone in a electric wheelchair. I say he is considered a pedestrian (I am a rookie officer but freshly studied traffic code) he is a vetern officer who is very experienced. We are looking for the textbook answer, not what we can do in the courtroom. We welcome your opinions.
Answer:
No, not for purposes of DWI. Keep in mind that DWI is covered by the Texas Penal Code. The Texas Transportation Code is not relevant for DWI.Driving while intoxicated is covered under Section 49.04 of the Texas Penal Code, which refers to a "motor vehicle". Section 49.01 refers us to Section 32.34(a) for the definition of a "motor vehicle".Section 32.34(a) of the Texas Penal Code defines "motor vehicle" as "a device in, on, or by which a person or property is or may be transported or drawn on a highway, except a device used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks."Obviously, an electric wheelchair cannot transport a person on a highway, so it's not a motor vehicle according to the Texas Penal Code.http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/pe.toc.htm
