Affordable Quality Wheelchairs of All Types

There’s a lot to consider when buying a wheelchair. Mobshop offers a number of different variations: self-propelled wheelchairs, transit wheelchairs & electrically powered wheelchairs.

Self-propelled wheelchairs are designed to be operated by the user. Self-propelled wheelchairs tend to have larger back wheels which are rotated using the push-rims attached. The smaller front wheels are on castors allowing the wheelchair operator to change directions by applying pressure on the desired back wheel. The larger wheels are also a great help when going over obstacles like kerbs. All of our wheelchairs have handles to allow help with pushing when required.

Transit wheelchairs are designed to be pushed by a wheelchair helper and are more commonly used over shorter distances and indoors. They have smaller wheels and are more manoeuvrable than self-propelled wheelchairs. They also tend to be smaller and lighter making them easy to transport.

Electric wheelchairs come in various sizes with varying ranges for both kids and adults. Electric wheelchairs are suitable for people who may not be able to operate a self-propelled wheelchair or feel a transit wheelchair is inappropriate, but who want to be as independent as possible.
