Why is the electric wheelchair so slow? What are the benefits?

Many customers we often encounter feel that the speed of electric wheelchairs is too slow, especially some grumpy elderly people. They hope that the speed of electric chairs can reach 30 kilometers per hour, but this is impossible. As one of the important means of transportation for the elderly and the disabled, the design speed of the electric chair is strictly limited. Some users will complain that the electric chair is too slow. Why is the electric chair so slow? Today's analysis is as follows:

The speed of the electric wheelchair is the speed limit set according to the specific characteristics of the user group and the overall structural characteristics of the electric chair.

First of all, the national standard stipulates that the speed of electric chairs for the elderly and the disabled must not exceed 15 km/h. Due to the physical reasons of the elderly and the disabled, in the process of operating the electric chair, if the speed is too fast, it will not be able to respond in an emergency, which will often cause unimaginable consequences. As we all know, in order to adapt to different indoor and outdoor environmental requirements, there are many factors such as body weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, and seat height. If the speed is too fast, there will be security risks such as rollover.

Secondly, the overall structure of the electric wheelchair determines that its driving speed should not be too fast.

In summary, the slow speed of the electric wheelchair is for the safe driving and safe travel of the user. The electric chair not only has strict speed limit, but also needs to be equipped with anti-reversing device in the development and production of electric chair to prevent safety accidents such as rollover and reversing. In addition, the electric chairs produced by regular manufacturers all use differential motors. Careful friends may find that the outer wheel rotates faster than the inner wheel, and even the inner wheel will reverse. This design greatly avoids the rollover accident when driving the electric chair.

These are the reasons why electric wheelchairs are slow. It is recommended that users of electric chairs, especially elderly friends, do not pursue speed when driving electric chairs. Safety is important. In addition, it is not recommended that users modify the electric chair by themselves.

Let's talk about the benefits of electric wheelchairs. What are the benefits of an electric wheelchair?

As long as it is fully charged, you can move around without the constant company of your family. It is more convenient for your family and yourself.

The use of electric wheelchairs is safer. Most electric chairs use electromagnetic brakes, which stop when you let go.

4. Use electric wheelchairs to enhance self-care ability. Many elderly people with limited mobility and disabled people with poor health will feel inferior more or less. But with the electric chair, you can go to the bathroom, buy food, cook, sleep and other daily activities. There is a standing electric chair in the world. It can slowly "stand up" with people who are doing rehabilitation exercises under manual adjustment, so that those who are seriously injured or disabled have more and more confidence in their rehabilitation exercises, so as to take a good start of rehabilitation.
