Electric wheelchairs?

I liked to live in the village where I lived, big (perhaps too big and too many insects), still what are the possibilities for people are not too much abled? From the house where we lived (and might return) to bus station is 400 m, OK there can be a rollator, can be an electric wheelchair, .. . In hungary for handicapped people to a bus is not too easy, of course I can call a taxi though (not too expensive in Hungary (still)
Do you know about provisions (and even driving licenses for electrictal wheel chairs (I do have a driving license by the way but epilepsy does not help))? - @cdw057

You do not need a driving license for an electric wheelchair.

thanks !

IDK about getting around easily in places that may not have smooth even sidewalks and ramps.

My friend in AZ is actually moving back to Las Vegas in 2 days.

She has been in a wheelchair for decades and is somewhat of an expert with getting around in one.

Cooks, cleans etc; from her chair.

The worst thing she did was move out to a remote area 6 years ago. I am glad she finally realized she can not go hardly anywhere living out in a remote area.

No smooth ground near her, only way to get anywhere outdoors is with their car and a long drive.

She just got a electric scooter type chair, not happy with it at all. Her legs are too twisted to sit nicely without ties them in. After so many years of rolling herself around, her hands and shoulder are blown out.

Even in Budapest I can see many obstacles to getting around the city. uneven sidewalks too narrow in many places. One would have to plan out their routes to make sure they could get around.

Hungary overall is not handicapped friendly.

Not all buses and trains are built for the chairs. You would have to wait until a handicapped one came around.

I have seen one many a dwarf, who gets all over the 8th district in his chair by himself in an electric chair.

I think he is limited to certain areas and stay on his own track, never going out to places he does not know.

Seen him getting around for 10 years or longer, here and there.

Honestly the way it is here, I would think one would be more or less of a shut in if they can not walk on their own.

I have used crutches and a cane over the years post knee surgery and believe me, people do not care at all. Some will give up their seats for you on transportation while other look at you as if you should not even of left your home.

I forget to tell you that those electric chairs weigh a ton and a half.

My friend looked at them, one was over 85 lbs. after the sides were taken off.

Her scooter that she hates weighs about 45 lbs. folded up.

You have to consider folding it up to put in a car, taxi and putting it back together again.

Not all cab drivers are going to be happy about lifting 85 lbs,into their trunks, boots.

You also have to limit where you live, ground floor of make sure the lift is in good order in any buildings you may move to.

I have seen those rolling things, walkers? That would be allot easier to get about in for a long as possible.

There are lightweight ones.  They even sold them in Aldi at one point.  But it still needs an able bodied helper.

The big ones are like those low speed 50 km/h disabled cars and will probably need number plates, insurance and so on.  And a place to charge it up.

Maybe there are lighter ones but they cost thousands of dollars if you want a decent one.

The battery makes them super heavy and award to lug around.

I know someone and ex pat who used to live here. She bought a new one , a push type and it cost about $450. and it was not the one they wanted.Bought it anyways. For some lame reason they picked out the one they wanted and were told they could not buy it? Maybe it was on hold for someone else but they did not explain why it was not for sale for them.

Depends also on how long one plans to sit in it. For a little push down the st; anything would do but if one sits most of th time in one then comfort is important. My friend has special pillows she sits on that also cost hundreds of bucks.

Awkward, do not spell that much.

I just search for  "rokkantkocsi" on jofogas.hu and there are lots of them brand new here for around 200K to 300K HUF.  I suppose they are all made in China.

The batteries are usually removable so the helper can take them out to make it easier to get the machine in the car. 

I know from experience of my Mum and Dad that disposing of these things post-passing is quite difficult.   No-one wants them and so many come on to the market.   However we managed to sell our UK one for £250.   It was a posh one and quite fast with a comfy chair and pneumatic tyres. 

The buyer was a charity which said it was shipping a lot of them to Ukraine.   If we'd known that was really true (and we couldn't say for sure), we'd have given it away along with all the other of our parents mobility aids stored at their place.
