I assume airlines are required to accept wheelchairs under the airline-equivalent of ADA.
How would a large, heavy, irregular shape object with likely several fragile parts (joystick?) be packed into the cargo hold? Stored in a luggage container with a ton of padding?
Who is responsible for packing it?
Any concerns about presumably large batteries of unknown quality and robustness?
