Hi, my name is HafanyMor56! Anyone know who buys used electric wheelchairs?

My 51 year old daughter is a wheelchair user.  I purchased an electric easy folding wheelchair a year last July.  She also has a learning disability and cannot use this chair that I paid over £2500 for it.   It’s just been sitting in the hall and kept charged up.  Anyone know who buys these.  I need to buy her a new manual as the one issued to her was far too heavy for me to load in the car.  The lightweight one she uses that I bought needs to be replaced. 
Thank you for reading.

    Heya @HafanyMor56 and welcome to the community!

    I'm sorry to hear the electric wheelchair isn't getting used, personal preference can have a big impact.

    I'm just going to move your post to a different category, so more people in the know will be able to see it and offer advice.  I hope that's ok?

    Thank you.  I’m needing to buy her another lightweight manual wheelchair.  I thought the electric one would help me as due to oap age I’m finding it hard sometimes.  She was issued one from the wheelchair Centre but they are far too heavy for me to lift in the car.  I’ve always bought her lightweight chairs but really I need to sell this to buy another manual one.

    I’m just trying to put it on Gum tree.  I put it on eBay a few mins ago Thank you
    She has cracked the side on the manual chair I bought her and doesn’t like using it although it’s not detrimental to the use of the chair.  Thank you for trying to help.
