New wheelchair


This wheelchair is made according to my specifications. Well, not as much I would like the specifications to be realised by the wheelchair technician, it is a better upgrade. One of the important features is a spare backup battery. This has saved me many times the inconvenience of being stranded and seeking assistance from my domestic helper to bring down the spare battery.

Another useful feature it uses lithium 17AH battery which is much lighter than a dry gel batteries. For a given amount of travelling distance and usage, I need to use a single lithium battery as opposed to two heavy gel batteries.
