Chair Carrying
Is it less effort to use a wheelchair than walk?
I am elderly but not disabled and have to walk long distances. I wonder if it takes less energy to hand propel a wheelchair than walking. I could use a folding chair which would be no problem on public transport. Also the chair should make carrying shopping more easy. An electric scooter is not practical on public transport.
It depends entirely on what kind of upper body strength you have and what your weight is. It could go either way.
Electric scooters come in all sizes. I have used them with little problem on public transit in Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York – to name a few places. There are smaller travel scooters which might be all you need.
It is not true – use it or lose it. If you over do it – you lose it for days at a time. Better to use it when you need it so you can walk when you want to.
