Wheelchair – Canada, Toronto & GTA

There are many different types of wheelchairs in the market and deciding which one is best for you will depend on how mobile you are or your existing medical condition. First, you should consider whether you need an electric wheelchair, manual wheelchair, or transport wheelchair.

Electric Wheelchairs:

Also known as power wheelchairs, these devices are self-propelled. At the simple touch of a joystick-style controller, your electric wheelchair will help you keep up with the world around you. Ideal for indoors and outdoors use, powered wheelchairs feature comfortable seating and a tight turning radius for speed and agility. We have auto electric folding wheelchairs available.

Manual Wheelchairs:

Manual wheelchairs come in many different sizes, styles, and price points. Starter manual chairs feature steel frames and basic features – like swing-away footrests and minimally padded seating surfaces. As a wheelchair gets more advanced, it will be constructed in lighter-weight materials like aluminum, carbon-fiber or titanium and will feature much more specialized seating – custom or pre-made, with air cells and foam backrests. Many additional configurations are available as a manual wheelchair becomes more complex which make them more suitable for heavy, everyday use.

Transport Wheelchairs:

If you or a loved one need another individual to assist you with everyday mobility, a transport wheelchair could be an excellent solution. Constructed in lightweight aluminum and featuring excellent portability, these chairs are perfect for family members who need a quick solution to help their loved ones around the mall, to and from and doctor’s office or on an outdoors walk. Some models are also suitable for caregivers to transport patients daily.

Vital Mobility offers a selection of wheelchairs that can be picked up from our stores, delivered, or shipped out same day. More customized devices will take 5-10 days to configure as our team must build your wheelchair out of different structural and support pieces that must first be gathered and installed.

The cost of wheelchairs in Canada varies according to how complex the chair is. Transport chairs for example, retail at Vital Mobility starting at $229. A basic manual model made from steel will start at about $350 and a model with a lighter construction retails from about $600.

As the device becomes more complex, the price tag goes up. Customized products can start at $1500 and range up to $5000. Power chairs start at about $2500 and can cost up to $10,000 depending on features.
