How to get a vehicle adapted for a wheelchair?

Question by ccc: How to get a vehicle adapted for a wheelchair?
I am 19 years old an in a wheelchair, and I need a car desperately - for school, daily errands, meeting friends and my job. I want to buy a van that is suitable to carry an Invacare electric wheelchair. I will need a ramp and hopefully can use the chair as the driver's seat. Need to keep the costs down, but would like a fairly new vehicle. Is it better to get one already converted or buy new and have it converted? I live in Georgia and am on disability (SSI).


Best answer:

Answer by JMITW
will you be working once you get a college degree? if so contact vocational rehab, they may help with expenses..

a cheap almost new van is at least $ 30,000...usually they are show room specials....nowadays they actually come right off the line with some adaptations such as lowered floor and ramp.....

also, have you looked into insurance costs as well as budgeted for repairs and gas to make sure you can afford it at all?

I use a portable ramp--but its not long enough for the person to be on the chair while it goes in the van (plus the floor isn't lowered).....and you need to be able to get out of the chair to do it...

Do motorized wheelchairs come with a maximum and minimum speed?

Question by Kennith: Do motorized wheelchairs come with a maximum and minimum speed?
I was brisk-walking this evening to catch a movie when a gentleman in a motorized wheelchair sped by me really fast. I would guess the wheelchair had to be going somewhere between 5-10 MPH or maybe more. (I'm a fast walker and this was easily 3-5x my speed).

Made me wonder if there are max and min speeds for motorized wheelchairs?

Where can a paralyzed person go on vacation that is wheelchair accessable? What about going to Egypt?

Question by sweetheart: Where can a paralyzed person go on vacation that is wheelchair accessable? What about going to Egypt?
My good friend wants to travel to Egypt and see the paramids... I would like to take him there but I don't know how accessible that would be for an electric wheelchair?

I would also like to know if there are other nice places to take someone on vacation who uses a wheel chair? Money is not really a problem. Can someone give us some ideas? My friend has only been paralyzed for a 2 yrs and this would be a first vacation we would take together...

Thank you!

The traffic code governing this is 551.201. We have a debate between another officer and myself whether you can write a DWI on someone in a electric wheelchair. I say he is considered a pedestrian (I am a rookie officer but freshly studied traffic code) he is a vetern officer who is very experienced.

What is electric wheelchairs?

Question by Mirza: What is electric wheelchairs?
electric wheelchairs


Best answer:

Answer by Tina
Electric wheelchairs are wheelchairs that do not have to be propelled by you or someone else. They have motors and batteries that power them. Electric wheelchairs propel you with the touch of a button or joystick.

Many people are too weak to use a manual wheelchair so they invest in an electric wheelchair so they can get around with just the simple movement of pushing the joystick forward.

Some people even call them power wheelchairs because they operate on their own power source.

I know you can get a dui on a bike or skate board, I am just curious. I just happened to see a drunk person opperating an electric wheelchair today. He was all over the place, in the bushes, in the street. I asked him if he wanted help but he said no in a drunken slur. He said his apartment complex was two miles from the bar and he would make it home in his wheelchair. Then he ran in to the curb. I got him up and going again, but he was really weaving.
