Lightweight electric wheelchairs

I am going to have to save a lot for one but does anyone know reputable sites or dealers for them?

I will need something lightweight and that will possibly be able to be manually pushed by someone else. I did look at a conversion kit but it is over £3k!

Thanks in advance

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)
  • That looks nice. I will have to save for it, the curse of having no full and proper diagnosis as the NHS people say, the local wheelchair service won't touch me.
