Powered seats may also allow elevation but again this feature will increase both the initial cost and the drain on the batteries.

Mobility scooters are sometimes referred to as power chairs. The power chairs may operate with a joystick-style controller, while most mobility scooters have operating buttons on the handle bar. Regardless of the name given to the vehicle they operate on electric motors with rechargeable electric batteries.
