Motorized wheelchairs are suitable for the users whose torso and arms are affected badly enough and have problems using their physical strength to make a wheelchair move. Thats why, they are designed in such a fashion that people should be able to control them. They are energised by a rechargeable Wet cell, Gel cell, or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery. They feature a control mechanism which can be as simple as a joystick or as complicated as an integrated circuitry.

Disabled people can thus enjoy freedom of mobility even on rough terrain and reduce their dependability on others.
