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 : 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 : How do You send an electric wheelchair?
Okay well i want to sell on ebay and electric wheelchair that is brand new but how would I send it to the winner bitter? i think its to big for ups?
Answer:
I'd recommend hiring a freight shipper to box it up and move it, and pass the costs to the buyer.I'd also suggest trying to sell it locally to avoid this headache.Remember- almost anyone who needs an electric chair can get one for free or almost nothing. Most people are shocked to learn that the chair that cost $10,000+ often will go for only a few hundred bucks.

Question : how does an electric wheelchair work?
Well my grandmother in Vietnam is becoming really ill and cannot walk herself to places such as the bathroom, so I was wondering in sending an electric wheelchair over there. I don't think that my uncle would want to carry her every single time she need to use the toilet so this should do the job. How do you charge it. Is is like a battery that you can just plug into the wall and charge it?

Question : Does anyone know if you can rent an electric wheelchair or something like it in Disneyworld?
Also, do you know the price?My seventysomething mom-in-law walks short distances only with a cane (like from the car to the house) and cannot go up or down stairs at all due to a bad hip and leg and a previous stroke. She refuses to buy her own wheelchair, but she uses motorized carts in the store for grocery shopping. She has a handicapped license plate also. Is there somewhere close we can drop her off at the park?
Answer:
This is excellent - it is compiled and kept up-to-date by a Disney fan who uses an EVC: http://allears.net/pl/ecv_faq.htmQuoted from this website:"There are at least two companies in the Orlando area that rent medical supplies, including wheelchairs and ECVs. The one I use is Care Medical (www.CareMedicalEquipment.com) Their daily rates are the same as Disney, but they give you a break on weekly rentals. The Advantages to renting from an outside company include: - You can have the scooter anywhere you go; minor parks, off-site, at the resorts, etc.- The scooter is available whenever you need it, not just during park hours.- You are assured of having wheels even when the parks have run out. - You can get a vehicle that meets your specific needs (one that will disassemble to fit in a car trunk, or one that will accommodate a heavy person for example). Disney parks scooters are "One Size Fits All". - Variable speeds - Disney scooters are set at "slow". Disadvantages include: - You must transport the scooter. That can mean waiting for a WDW van or accessible bus, dealing with ramps to the monorails and boats, or getting the scooter into and out of your own car/van under your own power. - Rental scooters are like rental cars. They are most often driven by people who are unfamiliar with them, and they get a lot of rough usage. They can have mechanical problems and leave you stranded. Care Medical has always been great about replacing a defective machine for me - but I only know that because I've *had* a couple of defective machines. *** Where can I rent an ECV or wheelchair at Walt Disney World? And how much does it cost?-- Wheelchairs: $10 per day rental (There is a $100 deposit charged to your credit card per unit rented.); $8 per day Length of Stay rental-- ECV Rental: $45 per day, with a $20 refundable deposit ($100 at Downtown Disney)Disney has a Length of Stay rental ticket for strollers and wheelchairs. With the Length of Stay rental, you make a one-time payment for as many days of rental that you will need. Upon visiting a theme park, show your receipt at the stroller/wheelchair rental location and you will be directed through the queue with little or no wait. There is a slight discount when purchasing the Length of Stay rental ticket. The Length of Stay option is NOT offered during peak attendance times, however, such as Christmas.At Walt Disney World Resorts -- Wheelchairs are available in limited numbers for guests at each Resort. Contact Lobby Concierge or the Front Desk for assistance. A $315 Deposit will be held on the guest room account, charged only if the wheelchair is not returned. If you want to guarantee the use of a wheelchair throughout your stay, contact a local rental company."

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.
