Self Propelled Wheelchairs

At Mobility2You, we specialise in offering a diverse selection of self-propelled wheelchairs designed to support independence, comfort, and mobility. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or living with a long-term condition, our range of manual and power-assisted self-propelled wheelchairs empowers users to take control of their movement without relying on assistance from a caregiver.

These self-propelled mobility aids are ideal for people with the upper body strength and coordination to move independently using large rear wheels. From lightweight aluminium chairs to more robust steel-frame models, our wheelchairs are built for daily use — both indoors and outdoors.

Types of Self-Propelled Wheelchairs

A self-propelled wheelchair is a type of manual wheelchairr that allows the user to move themselves forward by pushing on hand rims attached to large rear wheels. Unlike transit wheelchairs, which must be pushed by someone else, these models offer complete autonomy for the user.

There are two key types of self-propelled wheelchairs:

🔹Manual self-propelled wheelchairs Powered entirely by the user’s arm movement, these models are widely used for everyday activities and travel. Full user control: ideal for individuals with good upper body strength who want maximum independence. Lightweight and portable:– easy to fold, lift and transport, especially in aluminium models. Low maintenance: no batteries, chargers or electronics required, making them reliable and cost-effective.

🔹Power-assisted self-propelled wheelchairs  These wheelchairs combine manual propulsion with an integrated electric motor to reduce effort while increasing distance and control. Extra propulsion support: electric motors assist your push, reducing fatigue on longer distances or slopes. Maintains manual feel: keeps the manoeuvrability of a manual wheelchair with added convenience. Ideal for limited strength users: perfect for those who can self-propel but need help with endurance or terrain.

How to Choose the Right Self-Propelled Wheelchair

Choosing the right self-propelled wheelchair involves balancing comfort, functionality, and safety. Below are the key factors to help you decide. Weight Capacity Check that the wheelchair’s maximum load accommodates your weight, including personal items like bags or medical equipment. Most models support between 200–500 lbs. Seat Width and Depth Seat width should provide sufficient room for your hips and thighs while keeping you secure. Seat depth supports the full length of your upper legs and encourages good posture. Frame Material Aluminium self-propelled wheelchairs are lightweight and easy to fold, perfect for travel. Steel self-propelled wheelchairs are more robust and durable, ideal for everyday long-term use. Wheel Size Larger rear wheels are ideal for outdoor mobility and navigating uneven surfaces. Smaller front wheels offer better control and ease of use indoors. Armrests and Footrests Adjustable armrests should be set at a height that supports the arms without strain. Detachable or swing-away footrests can make transfers easier and enhance comfort.
