Back in the day--early 1980s--my SO had an Abec, which was a power chair but also somewhat portable. You could disconnect the dry cell battery and slide it out of the body of the chair. The chair itself then folded so we could toss it into a trunk, or more easily take it on a plane. Another feature I liked was that the control panel with joy-stick was detachable. As it was the most delicate part, we always made sure to take it onto the flight with us, as opposed to entrusting it to the baggage people.

All in the days of my misspent youth!
