Wheelchair and Mobility Scooter Options at NovitaTech
Updated
NovitaTech lists four main powered and manual mobility lines: manual wheelchairs (86 products), mobility scooters (56), power wheelchairs (29), and power assist (9), plus 74 wheelchair accessories and 7 wheelchair cushions. The right choice depends on how and where you'll use the device and on an assessment of your needs — the category counts below show what's stocked, not what will suit you.
The main mobility categories
| Category | Listed products | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Manual wheelchairs | 86 | Self-propelled or attendant-pushed chairs; lighter and easier to transport |
| Mobility scooters | 56 | Outdoor and community travel for people who can transfer and sit upright |
| Power wheelchairs | 29 | Powered chairs, often for longer distances or more postural support needs |
| Power assist | 9 | Add-on or integrated power for manual wheelchairs |
| Wheelchair accessories | 74 | Bags, trays, and other add-ons |
| Wheelchair cushions | 7 | Seating support and pressure care |
Manual wheelchairs are the largest group, so you'll find the widest range of sizes and configurations there. Power assist is a small but distinct option if you already use a manual chair and want help with slopes or longer trips without moving to a full power chair.
Sport and recreation options
Under Wheelchairs and Mobility Scooters, NovitaTech also lists a Sports and Recreation subcategory with 4 products. These sit alongside the general mobility range rather than replacing it, so treat them as a specialist add-on if sport or active recreation is part of your routine.
Related products worth checking at the same time
A chair or scooter is rarely bought alone. The same store lists:
- Pressure care: 60 cushions and 69 bed pressure management products
- Transfer equipment: 48 hoist slings, 26 patient hoists and lifters, and 12 manual handling aids
- Daily living: 96 eating and drinking aids and 94 food preparation items
- Home access: 15 ramps and 16 wheelchair ramps
If you're setting up a chair for home use, ramps and a suitable cushion are common companion purchases.
How to narrow the choice
- Define where you'll use it. Indoors, footpaths, or transport in a car each point to different categories — scooters generally suit outdoor community travel, while manual and power chairs cover a broader mix.
- Check your transfer and posture needs. If you need postural support or can't transfer easily, power wheelchairs and their seating options are the relevant group; scooters assume you can transfer and sit upright.
- Get an assessment before buying. The category counts don't tell you which model fits your body, home, or funding. An occupational therapist or assistive technology advisor can match a device to your situation.
- Confirm funding and delivery. NovitaTech is an NDIS registered provider and offers online NDIS payment; the site also advertises free delivery on orders over $500 AU-wide and a 10% first-order code. Check current terms on the relevant pages before ordering.
Common sticking points
- Scooter vs. power chair: the deciding factor is usually transfer ability and seating support, not speed or range.
- Accessories are separate: cushions, ramps, and bags are listed in their own categories, so budget for them alongside the chair.
- Stock counts change: the numbers above reflect the site's category listings at the time of writing; confirm availability on each product page.
