Mid Wheel Drive Powerchairs

What Are Mid Wheel Drive Powerchairs?

Mid-wheel drive Powerchairs (MWD Powerchairs) are specialised wheelchairs with the drive wheel located directly beneath the user. This positioning provides an unparalleled turning radius, which helps with tighter turns and excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces. With an additional caster wheel at the front and the back of the chair, you can enjoy enhanced stability and tipping prevention to enhance overall safety.

The design of our mid wheel drive powerchairs can help to balance performance with functionality. This makes mid wheel drive powerchairs the perfect choice for daily use, and particularly in environments with tight and narrow spaces.

What Are The Benefits Of Mid Wheel Drive Powerchairs

There are a wide range of benefits with mid wheel drive powerchairs.

The enhanced mobility of these chairs is one of the biggest benefits, with the ability to turn on the spot. This makes them ideal of indoor use, particularly in locations where corridors and doorways may not accommodate a larger turning radius. No matter how narrow, these mid wheel drive powerchairs are designed to handle the space with ease.

These chairs also provide exceptional stability, making them beneficial in terms of safety and comfort. With the ability to absorb shocks and bumps on the road due to the location of the central drive wheel, you can enjoy a smoother ride no matter the terrain you’re travelling on. For users who spend long periods of time in their chairs, this can help reduce fatigue and offer increased comfort throughout daily use.

Our mid wheel drive power chairs come from brands like Nexus and Permobil, who have helped to pioneer technologies that allow these chairs to traverse all different types of surfaces, from indoor carpets to outdoor pavements. This versatility and freedom can help to empower users and with the chairs being able to handle transitions between different surface types seamlessly, the opportunities to explore with these chairs are endless.

Further to this, our mid wheel drive powerchairs are backed by intelligent engineering. This means they are available in compact designs that can help with storage and transportation, similar to our folding power chairs range. This makes them particularly useful for those living in urban environments or smaller living spaces.
