What is the difference between a scooter and a power chair?
Mobility scooters have three or four wheels and steering is via the handle bars. Scooters are built for long distances and some models disassemble so they can be transported in a vehicle. Power chairs are more likely to be used indoors although some are equally comfortable outdoors. Power chairs are usually more like traditional wheelchairs and have batteries and a motor attached to each wheel. Power chairs have a joystick controller on the arm.
