The world's first electric wheelchair was designed in Canada in 1916, but no prototypes were built. After World War II, George Klein, a mechanical engineer at the National Research Council of Canada, constructed some of the first motorized chairs. But it wasn't until 1956 that electric wheelchairs started to be mass-produced for popular use.
