5 Best Mid-Wheel Drive Power Wheelchairs

  

A mid-wheel-drive powerchair is one of many good, motorized wheelchair options available. It comes with features that not only help you navigate easily but also make your life very comfortable. The drive wheels are fitted in the middle, making the user's center of gravity almost even to the center of the wheelchair.

This enables the chair to have a tight turning radius so you can effortlessly turn up to 360 degrees. In terms of stability, these chairs are the most stable options available. They have two drive wheels and four caster wheels, two on the back and two on the front of the base to keep the chair balanced.

Additionally, mid-wheel-drive powerchairs have incredible traction on almost any type of surface, including inclines and side slopes. In addition, they can climb curbs and small bumps with ease. For new users, these chairs are the intuitive to operate which reduces the learning curve.
