Since electric wheelchairs are currently a more suitable choice for the elderly and meet relevant national standards, let us analyze what kind of electric wheelchairs are suitable for the elderly. Let’s first look at the classification of electric wheelchairs:
1. Ordinary economical electric wheelchairs: This type of electric wheelchair is relatively affordable and has a decent product design. It is the most popular electric wheelchair style on the market and can meet the needs of most people, especially the elderly. This type of electric wheelchair Since the product performance is not outstanding, it is not particularly suitable for the needs of disabled people;
2. High-power off-road electric wheelchair: This type of electric wheelchair is characterized by relatively large motor power and relatively large battery capacity. The function of this design is that it has a longer battery life and a stronger ability to overcome obstacles. Generally, disabled people are more likely to use it. It is hoped that the elderly will have strong ability to cross obstacles and have a long range. Since the elderly have poor physical conditions and do not have the need for cross-country and long-distance travel, high-power off-road electric wheelchairs are not suitable for the elderly;
3. Specially customized electric wheelchairs: standing electric wheelchairs, liftable electric wheelchairs, reclining electric wheelchairs, widened and weighted electric wheelchairs, etc. These electric wheelchairs are often customized for special groups, such as people with hemiplegia who want to stand. , particularly obese people, etc., the special design meets the needs of special groups, and is not very suitable for the needs of ordinary elderly people;
4. Lightweight electric wheelchair that can board airplanes: This is a popular style at present. It is generally designed with lightweight aluminum alloy. The body is relatively light and easy to fold. It uses lithium batteries that meet aviation standards and is designed to be easy to carry when traveling. As the number of elderly people is increasing, and the financial conditions of many retired elderly people are not bad, the demand for traveling is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for this kind of electric wheelchair that can be boarded on airplanes and is easy to carry.
