If you are an aged person like myself and you are thinking that now might be a good time to buy an electric wheelchair than here are some things that you should keep in mind. Before you make such a large purchase you must have done your research and you must already be aware that electric wheelchairs are not cheap and even a standard model can set you back a few thousand dollars at the very least.
Once you start ticking those check boxes in the catalogue for all the options and the extras you will quickly start to see the price rocket upwards. If you go for a top of the line model or a custom made electric wheelchair than you can expect to pay the price of a small car for your electric wheelchair.

But the thing to realise before you make your purchase is that the asking price that you pay up front for your electric wheelchair is just a small fraction of the money that you will spend over the life of an electric wheelchair.
Electric wheelchair repair and maintenance is also very expensive and you will raise this if you look at the service and maintenance plans for the wheelchair that you are planning to buy. Most service plans from manufactures cost almost up to a thousand dollars a year and even then they do not cover parts which are also very expensive. Before you finally decide to make such a huge purchase you should factor in all these costs in to the price of electric wheelchairs and see if you can really afford to own one. You can save a lot of money on maintenance if you do it yourself but that I sonly if you will be able to handle repairs and maintenance on your own.
