Can an electric wheelchair be designed to increase travel speed

The speed of smart electric wheelchairs usually does not exceed 8 kilometers per hour. Many people think it’s slow. Speed ​​can be improved by modification. Can a smart power wheelchair be modified to increase speed?
With the progress of society, there are more and more various travel tools and the designs are becoming more and more novel. Intelligent electric wheelchairs specially designed for the elderly and disabled people are gradually entering the homes of ordinary people. According to different needs, electric wheelchairs include lightweight, off-road, airplane, with seat, standing, etc., in various styles to meet the needs of different consumers.

As we all know, in order to adapt to the needs of different indoor and outdoor environments, smart electric wheelchairs must be developed and designed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner based on many factors such as body weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, and seat height.

Based on the length, width, and wheelbase restrictions of the smart electric wheelchair, if the vehicle speed is too fast, there will be safety hazards when driving, and rollover and other safety hazards may occur.

National standards stipulate that the speed of smart electric wheelchairs for the elderly and disabled people should not exceed 8 kilometers per hour. Due to physical reasons, if the speed of the smart electric wheelchairs for the elderly and disabled people is too fast during the operation of the smart electric wheelchairs, they will not be able to react in an emergency. It often leads to unimaginable consequences.
Although the speed of the modified smart electric wheelchair is increased, behind the speed increase, safety risks such as poor control are ignored. Modification will change the output power of the battery. If the output power of the motor does not match the braking system, it is very dangerous and may causing the motor to burn out. In addition, the braking system cannot keep up, and the consequences are dire.

Although the modified smart electric wheelchair has gained speed, it has lost part of its ability to climb and stop on slopes, which invisibly increases the potential danger. If the scooter is too light and the speed is too fast, it can easily cause an overturning accident when encountering uneven ground, running over pebbles, or turning.
