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.

Montague 18 Paratrooper Military Folding Mountain Bike $698.95 Since the 1980s, Montague has provided full-size folding bicycles to various divisions of the military. In 1997, under a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Montague partnered with the US Marines to develop the Tactical Electric No Signature (TENS) Mountain Bike. For this project, Montague developed a new folding frame design called the X-Series™, integrating the F.I.T.™ system into the frame design. The non-electric version of the TENS Mountain Bike, named The Paratrooper®, became available shortly thereafter. The F.I.T.™(Folding Integrated Technology) system was developed to allow a full-size, high-performance mountain bike to fold in half so that it could fit through the cargo door of a military aircraft with a paratrooper. When the soldier would hit the ground, he or she would have a tactical mountain bike to use as transportation, thereby bridging the gap between walking and deploying heavy military vehicles. This would not only aid in transportation but it would help to facilitate battlefield reporting as well. The Paratrooper® is a full-size mountain bike that can traverse terrain silently at high speeds with no thermal or acoustic radar signature – key components when trying to avoid the enemy. The Paratrooper® offers up to 500 pounds of load hauling capability and it does not need gasoline. It has enhanced off-body load bearing capabilities, a high level of maneuverability, and can compact to a portable size in less than 30 seconds. The bikes are indeed used in conjunction with LAV’s (Light Armored Vehicles) and HMMWV’s as back up transportation and they also help to facilitate battlefield reporting. It became clear that the folding technology found on bikes developed for the U.S. Military could be used in the civilian world as well, as these bikes began turning up in car trunks, closets, and a host of other places where conventional non-folding bikes could not fit. By popular demand the military bikes made their way into civilian use. Tough, rugged, and ready for anything, this mountain bike is dropped from the sky to land prepared for action. The speed of unfolding this bike for riding will blow you away. No tools required to fold and stash in your Humvee. The Paratrooper® comes equipped with front suspension, 24-speed EZ Fire Plus® shifters, a compass and heavy duty double cage aluminum pedals to tackle the roughest terrain. The Paratrooper®Tactical Bike uses all standard moun |
