Can I get a manual wheelchair with a power add-on?
Yes, but only if you receive the enhanced rate mobility part of Adult Disability Payment (ADP) or higher rate mobility component of Child Disability Payment (CDP).
This is because the Motability Scheme is part of the Accessible Vehicles and Equipment (AVE) Scheme in Scotland. It’s administered differently to the rest of the UK if you get ADP or CDP.
We do not set the criteria for qualifying allowances or the types of vehicles and products we can offer.
What is a manual wheelchair with a power add-on?
These products combine the benefits of manual and powered wheelchairs.
You’ll get a manual wheelchair, which you can push yourself or with help from others. You can turn the power add-on attachment on and off if you need more power or you’re going on a longer journey.
Can I lease a manual wheelchair and a power add-on separately?
You can lease a manual wheelchair without a power add-on, but you cannot lease a power add-on without leasing a wheelchair as well.
How do I see which manual wheelchairs with a power add-on are available?
Speak to any of our scooter or powered wheelchair dealers in Scotland. They can show you what's available and help you learn more.
