That’s why I am coming to rescue with 10 Christmas gift ideas for wheelchair users!

Top 10 Christmas gifts for manual and electric wheelchair users
- Blumil City Electric Wheelchair
Our new electric wheelchair – Blumil City – is a perfect vehicle for urban adventures. Since it’s light and compact, it fits into very limited city space. It’s also very adjustable and foldable, what makes it a great fit for public transportation. While it can navigate the city perfectly during the day, it is also suitable for night escapades. Strong front automatic lights will brighten any dark night, and since cities never sleep, one can take a great advantage of that. In conclusion: Blumil City is a great gift for wheelchair users all around the world because it lets everyone experience freedom!
