Apart from the regular wheelchair design, the power wheelchairs also contain other components like motors and batteries, and they can be pretty heavy depending upon their type. Power wheelchairs tend to weigh more than their manual counterparts. The weight range of a power wheelchair can range anywhere between 50 pounds to 150 pounds. If you are looking for a compact power wheelchair that you can carry easily, stick to the wheelchair with low weight. But if you are looking for a power wheelchair for some heavyweight, it is better to get a heavyweight power wheelchair.
