We received a lot of questions if an electric wheelchair is the same as a power wheelchair. We were a bit surprised baout hat question because we assumed that it is clear but obviously is not. An electric wheelchair is the same as a power wheelchair. Its just a different term. We realized that youger people rather use the word power and elderly people tend to use and understand electric wheelchair better. After some research we found out that the word power is newer and more used lately and electric was used in the beginning of the electronic revolution which might be the reason. We also believe that the word electric wheelchair is sharper spoken than power wheelchair and so it easier to understand. We made that experience especially by answering thousands of phone calls during the last years.
However a power wheelchair (electric wheelchair) is not a scooter. The main difference is that the operator of a scooter has to maneuver it with his upper body by using a handle bar while the electric wheelchair operates with a stick and doesnt require upper body movement.
