Price of a Narrow Wheelchair
Complex rehab wheelchairs are customized to meet the specific needs of their user. Because of this, the cost of a narrow motorized wheelchair can vary greatly. There is a wide array of components that can be added to a power chair such as alternate drive controls, seating and positioning, wheelchair cushions and power elevated seating, all which can affect the cost. Each power chair is customized with different components to meet an individual’s needs and the price is determined by the components selected.

Drive Controls
Wheelchair users with disabilities that affect their mobility can benefit from Q-Logic 3 Advanced Drive Controls, an adaptable, expandable controller system that maximizes user independence.
