Hi all,
My brother is starting to have some mobility issues and will need an electric wheelchair soon. He does have use of both hands, but the left side is getting quite weak.
The house he lives in is an older model and has some unique tight hallways and limited space to maneuver so we're looking for something small, nimble, lightweight and fold-able. Bonus points if it fits in an RV-6 slider.
My father (who quit flying our RV 6 solo at 93 yrs young) says he remembers seeing an ad in an aviation magazine for a wheelchair that was designed with the GA fleet in mind, but he can't find it now.
I can't be the first one looking for something like this, so does anybody have any leads or recommendations for a small, lightweight, fold-able electric wheelchair? Price is less of a concern than functionality.
Thanks in advance,
Laird
