Using national standards to explain why electric wheelchair speed is so slow
2021-04-02 10:47:56

The speed of the electric wheelchair is based on the specific characteristics of the user group and the overall structural characteristics of the electric wheelchair.


1. The national standard stipulates that the speed of electric wheelchairs for the disabled of the elderly shall not exceed 15 km/h.

Because the physical reasons of the elderly and the disabled are in the process of operating the electric wheelchair, if the speed is too fast, their reaction to the emergency situation will not come, often resulting in unimaginable consequences. As we all know, in order to adapt to different indoor and outdoor environmental needs, electric wheelchairs must be coordinated and developed in terms of vehicle weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, seat height and many other factors. Comprehensive electric wheelchair length, width, and wheelbase limitation. If the vehicle speed is too fast, there will be safety hazards when driving, and safety hazards such as rollover may occur.


2. The overall structure of the electric wheelchair determines that its driving speed should not be too fast.

In summary, the speed of electric wheelchairs is slow for the safe driving and safe travel of users. Electric wheelchairs are not only limited in speed, but in order to prevent safety accidents such as rollover and reclining, electric wheelchairs must be equipped with anti-backlash devices. In addition, all the electric wheelchairs produced by regular manufacturers use differential motors. Careful friends may find that the electric wheelchairs rotate faster than the inner wheels when turning, and even the inner wheels rotate in the opposite direction. This design greatly avoids a rollover accident when driving an electric wheelchair.


The above is the reason why the speed of electric wheelchairs is slow. It is recommended that all electric wheelchair users, especially elderly friends, should not pursue speed when driving electric wheelchairs. Safety is the most important. In addition, users are not recommended to modify electric wheelchairs.
