There is a unique opportunity to buy power wheelchairs at a fraction of their original cost
(10 to 15% on some models).  Although used, these electronic wheelchairs 
(of German and Dutch make) are in excellent condition; many look new.
They are in Belgium and now also in San Diego, California.  They are sold individually,
or in quantities at discount prices.
<>
The governments of Belgium, Netherlands, and Sweden buy them new for their citizens who need one. The equipment remains property of the Government, and the stock is renewed every four years: the equipment we offer comes directly from this stock.

The pictures below are of samples taken from stock at random,

General Specifications

1. All chairs are in good functional condition: they all run.

2. Lights and all other functions and accessories designed for them, work on most of them. Note: when something does work as designed, we will explain in detail before your purchase. 

3. All the wheelchairs come from our supplier in Belgium; some are Dutch, others German.

4. None of the chairs is too much used or warned up; guarantied.  We are here to help the needy, not to distress him or her. Trust us for that.

5. All chairs are electronically controlled by joystick and push buttons. Meyra models use a turning knob for speed control. 

6. Price does not include new batteries (2). New batteries are available at wholesale price (to our customers only, and when purchased with the chair).

8. To save weight, we will not include the original (dead) batteries with the shipment, unless the contrary is specified. 

9. The original battery charger is included, unless you don’t want it  (to save for the extra weight). They are rated at 220 VAC/24 VDC 50Hz.

10. A Charger rated at 110 VAC/24 VDC 60Hz is available on request. We would purchase it for you from our local Sears store, and send it along with the wheelchair.

SHIPPING

The cost for shipping one unit anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Mexico 
is less than $200. It is less than $400 anywhere within the American Continent, 
and $800 would cost to ship one power wheelchair to Bombay, India. 
For some, It could be worthwhile, and would not cost much more, to travel to Skil, in Gent, Belgium, or to Extensions for Independence, in San Diego, California, to select the type and size of wheelchair you want, test-use it, and fly back home with it... considering that airlines carry for free wheelchairs or any other special equipment used by their disabled passengers.

The shipping cost per unit for quantity shipping to one single address drops dramatically as the number of units increases. The shipping cost per unit (with everything included) was $141 to bring 64 power wheelchairs from Belgium to San Diego, California (USA).  The chairs filled a 40' container.  Any quantity less than this, quickly raises 
the cost per unit.

Shipment is paid directly by you upon delivery.
The rest of the payment (price of the goods minus any applicable discounts)
is made in advance or with a bank's letter of credit, to Extensions for Independence.
