There may come a day when I need to use an electric wheelchair, but until that day comes I will keep using a manual one.

Electric wheelchair
I often get asked why I don't use an electric wheelchair. The simple answer for that is I don't want to become lazy or lose any upper body strength. Everyone I've ever talked to that switched from a manual wheelchair to an electric one lamented that they lost so much strength and endurance that they became weaker and more prone to other health issues as a result.

No, Joseph, avoid electric w/cs for as long as you are able to .. I had a friend who got one and he soon got lazy, lost his determination, fitness and zest for life somehow .. sad to see him decline so rapidly. You are wiser than your years.
