An electric‑motor‑driven wheelchair provides powered mobility for individuals who cannot walk or have limited walking ability, using one or more electric motors to move the device. The speed and direction can be controlled either by the occupant or an attendant, and the wheelchair includes a powered‑steering system for precise maneuvering.
These wheelchairs are designed to be collapsible or disassembled for easier transport and storage. They fall under personal mobility device regulations, which typically require compliance with safety and performance standards applicable to powered wheelchairs, and are supplied by manufacturers meeting those regulatory requirements.
