In recent years, electric wheelchairs and four-wheel electric scooters have become very popular among old friends. Currently, due to the diversity of products and differences in service quality, complaints caused by them are also increasing. Battery issues with electric wheelchairs and older scooters are summarized below:
1. Some dealers sell substandard batteries to consumers and provide them with fake standard batteries. Therefore, it is conceivable that a car equipped with such a battery can be used for a short period of time, but after half a year, the battery is obviously dead.
2. In order to make money and save production costs, some companies cut corners and materials, causing problems in many products and generally insufficient battery power.
3. Use cheap waste lead and sulfuric acid to “assemble” batteries. Too many impurities lead to insufficient reaction, thus shortening the service life of the battery. There is also a fake OEM, claiming that “XXX” brand batteries are publicly available.
Electric wheelchair manufacturers hereby remind consumers that when purchasing electric wheelchairs and scooters for the elderly, they should pay close attention to the battery capacity, cruising range and service life; try to buy branded batteries produced by regular manufacturers and do not engage in price wars for cheap.
As the main means of transportation for the elderly and disabled, the design speed of electric wheelchairs is strictly limited, but some users will complain that the speed of electric wheelchairs is too slow. What should I do if my electric wheelchair is slow? Can the acceleration be modified?
The speed of electric wheelchairs generally does not exceed 10 kilometers per hour. Many people think it is slow. There are two main ways to modify a power wheelchair to increase speed. One is to add drive wheels and batteries. This kind of modification only costs two to three hundred yuan, but it can easily cause the circuit fuse to burn out or the power cord to be damaged;
National standards stipulate that the speed of electric wheelchairs used by the elderly and disabled people cannot exceed 10 kilometers/hour. Due to the physical reasons of the elderly and disabled people, if the speed is too fast when operating the electric wheelchair, they will not be able to make decisions in an emergency. Reactions often have unimaginable consequences.
As we all know, in order to adapt to different indoor and outdoor environmental requirements, there are many factors such as body weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, and seat height. The development and design of electric wheelchairs must be coordinated in all aspects.
