Why choose a custom electric wheelchair?

Electric wheelchairs come in various designs, but not all are created equal. Standard options may not suit everyone’s needs, which is where scripted electric wheelchairs come into play. These wheelchairs are tailored to meet your requirements, considering your physical condition, lifestyle, and the terrains you'll navigate daily.

When it comes to custom electric wheelchairs, our attention to detail is unmatched. Every aspect of the wheelchair, from seat design to control systems and even the wheel configuration, can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

How we design & assemble your custom power wheelchair

When prescribing power mobility equipment, we approach every client personally and individually. We offer a wide range of wheelchair brands and models, which we can customise to meet any client’s specific needs and preferences. No two users are the same, and neither are the wheelchairs we create.

The process starts with active communication between you, your healthcare team, and our occupational therapists. Together, we carefully assess your physical needs, daily routine, and common challenges.

These discussions ensure we can pinpoint the exact requirements for your scripted electric wheelchair. Once the specifications are determined, we collaborate with our suppliers to source the relevant parts and accessories to assemble in our workshop. We pay close attention to every detail to ensure it meets your unique needs.

Choose your system: front, mid, or rear-wheel drive

One key decision you'll make when customising an electric wheelchair is the type of drive system. The placement of the drive wheels can significantly impact the wheelchair's handling, maneuverability, and suitability for different environments.

Here's a breakdown of the three main types.

Front-wheel drive wheelchairs

Front-wheel drive electric wheelchairs are a great option for individuals seeking enhanced mobility in various environments. The front-wheel design keeps your feet closer to your body, which can help maintain a lower seat-to-floor height. This is especially useful for easier access to tables, desks, or counters.

The design also provides excellent traction, making it suitable for outdoor use on rough or uneven terrain. The trade-off is that front-wheel drive chairs may have a slightly larger turning radius than mid-wheel drive models but still provide great all-around performance.

Mid-wheel drive wheelchairs

If you're looking for a chair with the most maneuverability, mid-wheel drive electric wheelchairs are the best option. These chairs provide the smallest turning radius, which means they can turn within their own axis—ideal for navigating tight spaces like hallways, elevators, and doorways.

Because the wheels are located directly beneath the seat, the design mimics the natural movement of feet when walking, giving you a more intuitive driving experience.

Rear-wheel drive wheelchairs

For those who prefer a more traditional wheelchair design, rear-wheel drive electric wheelchairs offer reliable performance. The drive wheels are positioned at the back of the chair, giving the user excellent directional stability. These chairs tend to have a larger turning radius than mid-wheel options but still perform well in many settings, particularly outdoors.

Rear-wheel drive electric wheelchairs are popular for paediatric users. They provide a straightforward driving experience but are still highly durable and capable of handling a range of terrains.
