If you’re looking to buy a standard wheelchair, we can help with this. Read on, and find out how to buy one of these products like an expert! Firstly, what actually is a standard wheelchair?
Defining a Standard Wheelchair
You’ve probably heard of prescriptive wheelchairs – which often overlap with the lightweight active wheelchair product class. Firstly, standard wheelchairs, as the name suggests, are not prescriptive products. By not having the same degree of customisation available, costs are kept lower. Meanwhile, choosing and ordering your wheelchair is far easier. An “off-the-peg” chair, so to speak, is much more straightforward to pick out. Indeed, for those who are considering whether or not to buy a standard wheelchair, that “off-the-peg” aspect can be a real boon. How so? For one, it means that many of these more economical and straightforward wheelchairs can be tried out in our stores – directly off the rack, no less!
Key Advantages of Standard Wheelchairs
Since standard wheelchairs do not have to be built from the ground up in the way that many prescriptive manual wheelchairs do, they are generally much more affordable. Note that this affordability doesn’t necessarily mean that a standard wheelchair can’t be comfortable, or meet very high safety standards. If we’re talking safety standards, then VanOs offer an exceptional and affordable standard wheelchair. The self-propelled Excel Mobility G-Logic, available to buy online now, absolutely meets them. Crash-tested, and approved for use whilst travelling in a moving vehicle, it just might be the perfect chair for you – and at a great price, no less!
Karma Mobility make something of a specialty out of standard wheelchairs. Their chairs have been a go-to for many people who want to buy a standard wheelchair. Their various “Ergo” models are a staple amongst standard wheelchairs. The popularity of Karma Ergo wheelchairs has endured. Karma Ergo standard chairs have proved popular all through the years. How popular? Well, the Ergo is now available in its third version, the Ergo 3, shown below:
