What the heck is a half-power wheelchair? The HALF-POWER SuperStand is a hybrid. It features power mobility (via joystick, motor & batteries) like any power chair to go from point A to point B, but the user stands the chair manually up and down. It is a great collaboration between our manual standing wheelchair and our full power standing wheelchair. With HALF-POWER a person can travel long distances and navigate uneven terrain without shoulder strain. Yet, still get the exercise and ability to stand quickly by using the manual raise levers. When we say "quickly" we mean 1-2 seconds. This may not be the best option for high level quads, but HALF-POWER is truly the best of both worlds for many chair users.
