One of the best places to start when searching for a used electric wheelchair is local community resources and nonprofit organizations. Many charities and nonprofit groups focus on assisting individuals with disabilities. These organizations often have programs that provide mobility aids, including electric wheelchairs, either for free or at a reduced cost. Organizations such as the United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), the Salvation Army, and local Disabled American Veterans chapters may have resources available.
