my rocket turning radius is 19 inches and i can turn completely around in
my 40 inch hallway with no problem. manual chair can't turn like
that. guess it depends on your chairs.

Actually, people that use manual chairs are wider than
people that use power chairs because you sit down between the wheels on
manual chairs and on power chairs you sit on top of the rear wheels. I
have had very little troubles negotiating the stores here in Duluth in my
power chair but I know I would have a lot of trouble with my manual chair
because it is so much
wider.

i think the turning
radius is waaay bigger in a power chair plus theyre more difficult to control.
those 2 factors seem to cause more difficulty than the width, in my opinion.
