Freedom on Wheels: Mark’s Dad’s Experience with the Beaver Electric Wheelchair

My Dad, at 87 years old, is unfortunately losing his mobility and unable to walk more than a few steps. We decided to purchase an electric wheelchair for him and it was a fairly daunting task as they can range from $1K to over $5K with too many options and decisions (battery, weight, stability, range, etc).  My dad did a fair amount of research, I went to several home care stores and one day he found the Beaver WheelChair video online.  He liked it because it looked “Stylish” and “Speedy", Canadian and transportable. Essentially, he saw himself in a little “Ferrari” vs. an old-man's wheelchair.  

His decision was the correct one …, the wheelchair very quickly became his Ferarri and he feels proud to be riding it. He is frequently stopped and asked about it because of its stylish looks and agility. More importantly, he is now mobile again - getting out of his apartment, going down to the Quay, shops and engaging with life!

In addition, I would mention that the Beaver Team were so helpful and pleasant to deal with. With Special thanks to Hannah in Sales and Ray in Technical Support.
