If you ever need advice on motorized chairs, let me know.
My wife uses her Jazzy 600 for distance travel (she usually manages walking with canes and a wheeled walker) and even uses it at work when she's doing a shift that requires her to move around the floors instead of staying in the pharmacy.
Logistics is workable. I've got a specialized vehicle with a lift, but my other normal car has an outside lift that hooks onto any Class 2 trailer hitch.
My wife resisted a motor chair for a long time, worrying that it meant "giving up" on her walking, but now she can burn me out on the hiking trails, the malls, museums, and anything that needs a lot of moving around.
