Typically, electric wheelchairs are heavier while manual wheelchairs are lighter. A manual wheelchair helps an individual maintain upper body strength b/c they propel themselves by using their hands & arms. However, electric wheelchairs seem to provider greater freedom to get around. I live in a city & notice more electric wheelchairs bee-bopping down the sidewalks than I do manual wheelchairs.
