FAQs
What’s the difference between electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters?
Electric wheelchairs are typically better suited for indoor use or outdoor areas with smooth, even surfaces. They are highly maneuverable, with a compact turning radius, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces like homes, shopping centres, and medical facilities. Most electric wheelchairs are also designed to be foldable and portable, which is great for travel and everyday use.
Mobility scooters, on the other hand, are generally larger and better equipped for outdoor use, including uneven terrain, pavements, and longer distances. They often have larger wheels, higher ground clearance, and are built for stability and comfort over rougher surfaces. However, they tend to be bulkier and may not fit easily indoors or through narrow doorways.
Will my new wheelchair fit into storage when needed?
Yes, Leitner electric folding wheelchairs are foldable and compact enough to fit in car boots or tight indoor storage spaces. They’re designed with portability in mind.
Do you offer shipping throughout Australia?
Yes, Leitner offers Australia-wide delivery on all electric-powered wheelchairs and accessories. Orders are shipped from our Melbourne warehouse directly to your door.
