The users of power wheelchairs are the elderly and the handicapped with limited mobility. For these people, transportation is the actual demand, and safety is the first factor.
As a professional manufacturer of electric wheelchairs, Baichen is here to popularize the safety design of a qualified electric wheelchair.
1.Anti-dumping wheel
Driving on a flat and smooth road, any wheelchair can walk very smoothly, but for any power 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.
2.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.
3.Differential design when cornering
Electric wheelchairs are generally rear-wheel drive, and good electric wheelchairs will use dual motors.(dual motors power wheelchair) This is not only for more power, but also for safety reasons.
When turning, the speed of the left and right motors is different, and the speed is adjusted according to the turning direction to avoid tire slippage (in fact, this design is also used on cars, but the implementation principle is different), so in theory, the electric wheelchair will never roll over when turning.
When using an electric wheelchair, safety first, safety first!
