This simple, compact electric wheelchair is a great option for users who only need electric mobility assistance occasionally. It’s relatively budget-friendly and doesn’t include many bells and whistles. But it does a nice job of getting around and is a fraction of the size of more expensive alternatives.
One of the best things about this electric wheelchair is that it excels indoors. It uses a rear-drive motor, but still boasts a turning radius of just 26 inches. The 2.5 inches of ground clearance isn’t ideal, but it should be more than enough if you’re primarily using the wheelchair around the house.
Users appreciated that the space under the seat is available for storage. In fact, the Envy GP162 has a built-in basket so the items you need are easily available.
What we liked
For an inexpensive electric wheelchair, it’s hard not to love the 26-inch turning radius. This is comparable with what you’d find on models that cost $1,000 more, and it makes it very easy to maneuver around your home or office.
What could be better
The biggest problem that we see with this electric wheelchair is that it’s heavy. At over 120 pounds, it’s very hard to lift or transport. While it’s compact, it also won’t fit into most vehicles easily.
