How to Choose the Right Electric Wheelchair for HDB Living

How to Choose the Right Electric Wheelchair for HDB Living

Not all electric wheelchairs are created equal — especially when space and portability matter. Before buying one for yourself or a loved one, here are a few key points to consider:

1. Compact Foldability

In an HDB flat, space is premium. Look for a model that folds easily so it can be stored neatly behind a door or in a corner when not in use. Both the JRWD704 and Ultra-Lite Carbon offer quick-fold frames, making them ideal for small living spaces.

2. Lightweight Design

The lighter the wheelchair, the easier it is for users and caregivers to lift or transport it. A model like the Ultra-Lite Carbon (11.7 kg) is an excellent choice if you travel frequently or need to load it into a car boot.

3. Ease of Charging & Battery Life

Choose a wheelchair that offers a balance between lightweight convenience and reliable battery range. Our electric wheelchairs provides consistent power for daily neighbourhood trips — perfect for nearby malls or community centres.

4. User Comfort

A good electric wheelchairs should fit your body comfortably and offer support for long hours. Always consider factors like seat width, cushioning, and adjustable features when choosing your model.

5. After-Sales Support

Even the best electric wheelchairs need occasional servicing. ELFIGO offers on-site warranty support in Singapore — meaning you’ll never need to worry about transporting your wheelchair to a workshop. Our technicians come to you, saving you time and hassle.
