Rear Wheel Drive Powerchairs

Rear wheel drive powerchairs offer predictable tracking and stability at speed, which suits people who travel longer distances, use rough footpaths and country roads, or want a chair that feels stable outdoors. They typically carry larger batteries and stronger motors for range and hill climbing.

Consider the turning space available at home, as rear wheel drive chairs need more room to turn than mid wheel drive. Assess seating and pressure care, control options, transport and charging, and the terrain across the person’s week. Check kerb climbing capacity, ground clearance, range and the safe working load.

Thrive Lifecare supplies rear wheel drive powerchairs Tasmania-wide with trials on the person’s own routes, scripting, quotes for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase, delivery, programming and servicing. Book a trial to test the chair where it will be used.
