Besides people who are just too fat or lazy to push themselves around, do you approve of people getting them through medicare when they really are too frail or disabled to push themselves around, but are alert enough to handle the electronic chair? I ask as someone with two eldery parents, both of whom can barely push themselves around in their manual chairs and neither of whom is fat or lazy. The point for them is moot, however, because neither is alert enough to keep from mowing down some other senior citizent in the retirement facility.

Yes, I think your parents sounds like they are the very people the chairs are designed to help. However, as is the case with just about everything to do with the ADA, Medicare, Handicap Parking, it is those that take advantage that ruin it for those that need the help.
