Wheelchairs are typically only used for indoor purposes, as the wheels are not sturdy enough for out of doors activities.

Recliner chairs are perfect for those individuals that need the comfort of sitting with their feet up but do not have the strength to push back the chair themselves. Many times recliner chairs also are lift chairs, so the chair will rise up to help the sitter stand up with ease. Recliner chairs are easy to operate, as a control remote is all that is needed. Most recliners will have preset options though you may be able to program in your own.

Besides being used for those that are disabled some of the electric mobility products, like scooters are utilized at resorts, construction sites, factories and airports as other means of transportation instead of gas powered machines. Some electric mobility scooters are so light and small that they can fold down into the size of a briefcase and be easily carried around. 4 wheel mobility scooters are very good for outdoor use.
