Why are electric wheelchairs so slow? In fact, electric scooters are the same as electric wheelchairs. Today I will analyze it for you as follows:
The speed of an electric wheelchair is a speed limit set based on the specific characteristics of the user group and the overall structural characteristics of the electric wheelchair.
1. National standards stipulate that the speed of electric wheelchairs for the elderly and disabled people should not exceed 8 kilometers/hour.
Due to the physical reasons of the elderly and disabled people, if the speed is too fast during the operation of the electric wheelchair, they will not be able to react in an emergency, which will often cause unimaginable consequences.
Electric wheelchair manufacturer explains why wheelchairs drive slowly
As we all know, in order to adapt to the needs of different indoor and outdoor environments, electric wheelchairs must be developed and designed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner due to many factors such as body weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, and seat height. Based on the length, width, and wheelbase restrictions of the electric wheelchair, if the vehicle speed is too fast, there will be safety hazards when driving, and rollover and other dangers may occur.
2. The overall structure of the electric wheelchair determines that its driving speed should not be too fast.
The slow speed of wheelchairs is for the user’s safe driving and safe travel. Not only is the speed of electric wheelchairs strictly limited, but in order to prevent safety accidents such as rollover and backwards, electric wheelchairs must be equipped with anti-backwards devices when developing and producing them.
