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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
