With the Baby Boomer generation heading into retirement, America’s largest, wealthiest, and most
influential group, are looking for ways to stay mobile. A big hole has been left with the collapse of
the ubiquitous Scooter Store in 2013, but new players are entering the game.
The newest to the stage is WHIILL, a futuristic wheelchair that looks promising,
if you can shell out almost $10K for a wheelchair. It’s not currently available in the United
States but they just started taking pre-orders.
The total weight of WHILL is 200 lbs, so you’ll need a special van/truck/lift
to transport it. There are more
practical options out there. Especially
if you don’t want to be seen riding around in what people are calling a “comic
book character’s wheelchair”.
The EZ
Lite Cruiser is a light weight and foldable electric wheelchair, which can fit into the trunk of most cars and
SUVs. Total weight is about 50 lbs. It
can be used for indoors and outdoors.
The company also has a 60 day money back guarantee and very solid
warranties.
