Electric wheelchair is a special means of transportation for the elderly and disabled people with limited mobility. For such people, transportation is the actual demand, and safety is the first factor. Many people worry that it is safe for the elderly to drive electric wheelchairs?
1. Automatic brake electromagnetic brake
A qualified electric wheelchair is firstly equipped with an electromagnetic brake, which automatically brakes when the hand is released, and will not slide uphill or downhill. It saves the hassle of traditional electric wheelchairs and electric tricycles when braking, and the safety factor is higher; however, keep your eyes open when purchasing. At present, many electric wheelchairs on the market do not have electromagnetic brakes, and their braking effect and driving experience are relatively high. Difference;
2. Anti-dumping wheel
Driving on a flat and smooth road, any wheelchair can walk very smoothly, but for any wheelchair user, as long as he goes out, he will inevitably encounter road scenes such as slopes and potholes. In certain circumstances, there should be anti-dumping wheels to ensure safety.

Generally, the anti-tipping wheels of electric wheelchairs are installed on the rear wheels. This design can effectively avoid the danger of tipping over due to the unstable center of gravity when going uphill.
3. Anti-skid tires
When encountering slippery roads such as rainy days, or when going up and down steep slopes, a safe wheelchair can easily stop, which is related to the anti-skid performance of the tires.

The stronger the tire grip performance, the smoother the braking, and it is not easy to fail to brake the car and slip on the ground. Generally, the rear wheels of outdoor wheelchairs are designed to be wider and have more tread patterns.
4. The speed should not exceed 6 kilometers per hour
The standard stipulates that the speed of electric wheelchairs should not exceed 6 kilometers per hour. The reason why the speed is set at 6 is because the road conditions are different in different places and the groups of users are quite different, in order to make every elderly person with limited mobility can travel safely.
5. Differential design when turning
Electric wheelchairs are generally rear-wheel drive, and electric wheelchairs usually use dual motors. Whether it is a dual motor or a single motor, the controller is turned on to control the forward and reverse, and turn all operations. Just move the controller lightly to dry it, it is effortless, and the operation is simple and easy to learn.
When turning, the speed of the left and right motors is different, and the speed is adjusted according to the turning direction to avoid rollover of the wheelchair, so theoretically, the electric wheelchair will never roll over when turning.
