Electric Wheelchair vs Mobility Scooter for Holidays
Both can make a holiday easier. The right choice depends on how you travel, where you will use it and who will be lifting it.
Indoors and tight spaces
Electric wheelchairs turn in a smaller space and suit hotel rooms, restaurants and cabins. Scooters are longer and better suited to outdoor use.
Getting it there
Check the heaviest piece you would lift into a car and the battery Wh rating if you are flying. Our auto-folding scooter weighs 30 kg in one piece; the EEZY SPLIT is lifted in two sections — a 19.2 kg front section carrying both batteries (16 kg without them) and a 10.3 kg rear section.
Comfort and terrain
Scooters are comfortable for long promenades. Powerchairs with good suspension and larger rear wheels, such as the EEZY SPLIT, cope with pavements and uneven paths while still working indoors.
