Which groups of people need electric wheelchairs more?

As people's demands for quality of life improve, electric wheelchairs are no longer just a simple means of transportation. They have become an important aid for people with limited mobility to regain their freedom. However, not all people have the same needs. So who exactly needs an electric wheelchair? The two electric wheelchairs we launched with different features may provide the answer.

 I. Three groups of people have an urgent need for electric wheelchairs.

In daily life, three groups of people are particularly in need of electric wheelchairs. First, people with lower limb disabilities or paralysis rely on assistive devices for long-term mobility. Conventional manual wheelchairs are physically demanding, but electric wheelchairs significantly reduce the burden, allowing them to control their mobility. Second, the elderly, whose muscles weaken and their movements slow with age, can ensure their safety in daily activities and reduce the risk of falls. Third, those recovering from surgery need to avoid excessive exertion in their lower limbs. Electric wheelchairs can meet their basic mobility needs during this period and aid recovery.

Different groups have different usage scenarios and differing functional requirements for electric wheelchairs. The following two products are precisely designed to meet the diverse needs of these groups.

II.The aluminum electric wheelchair JL138L: Lightweight and Portable - Suitable for postoperative rehabilitation and short-distance travel.

1.Battery Life and Battery: Suitable for frequent short-distance use and flexible charging.

This aluminum electric wheelchair is equipped with a 20Ah/24V gel lead-acid battery, which provides a range of 20 kilometers after a 6-8 hour charge. For those recovering from surgery, daily activities typically range between 3-5 kilometers. A 20-kilometer range is sufficient to cover 4-5 days of short trips without frequent charging. For elderly people living alone, this aluminum electric wheelchair can handle emergency travel even if they occasionally forget to charge. 

2. Electromagnetic Brake Safety: Low operational threshold, suitable for those with mobility impairments.

Combined with the convenient design of "flip-up armrests + removable footrests," this  aluminum electric wheelchair's electromagnetic brake system offers the key advantage of "stopping immediately upon release." For elderly individuals, declining hand strength makes traditional manual brakes difficult to apply firmly. Electromagnetic brakes, however, require no additional force. Releasing the lever instantly provides stable braking, eliminating the risk of sliding due to delayed reaction or improper operation. For those recovering from upper limb surgery, the aluminum electric wheelchair's brakes can be applied without significant force, reducing strain on the upper limbs and the risk of secondary injury during the recovery period. The combination of PU wheels and PU drive wheels ensures smoother braking on smooth surfaces such as tiled and wooden floors.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: Excellent value for short-distance use, suitable for short-term needs.

This portable folding electric wheelchair's 20Ah battery and 20km range combine to meet the needs of frequent short-distance use at a relatively low cost. This significantly reduces the budget for short-term use (such as the 3-6 months post-operative recovery period). Furthermore, this portable folding electric wheelchair's rear handle allows family members to assist in adjusting this portable folding electric wheelchair's position, further enhancing user convenience.

III.The steel electric wheelchair JL110A: Stable and Durable - Suitable for Long-Term Use and Outdoor Travel

1.Battery Life and Battery: Large-Capacity Dual Batteries Suitable for Frequent Outdoor Use

This steel electric wheelchair utilizes a dual 12V-28Ah x 2 battery design, with a total capacity of 56Ah, achieving a similar 20km range. While this steel electric wheelchair's range is the same as the first model, this steel electric wheelchair's dual-battery structure offers more stable discharge. This extends the battery life for people with lower limb disabilities who require frequent use, typically lasting 2-3 years without replacement, reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

2. Electromagnetic Brake Safety: Strong Stability, Handles Complex Road Conditions

Equipped with 8-inch PU universal wheels and 12-inch PU wheels, this steel electric wheelchair's large 12-inch rear wheels increase the contact area with the ground, providing greater friction during braking. Even on slightly bumpy outdoor surfaces (such as gravel roads in residential areas and paved park paths),  this steel electric wheelchair's electromagnetic brakes can quickly and smoothly stop the vehicle, preventing slipping caused by braking due to uneven surfaces. On slopes of approximately 15°, this powered wheelchair's brakes firmly lock the rear wheels, preventing slippage even after stopping for more than 10 minutes. Furthermore, the powered wheelchair's electromagnetic brakes respond quickly, allowing for immediate braking in the event of an emergency, reducing the risk of accidents.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: Durable and Suitable for Long-Term Use

The powered wheelchair's steel frame has a load-bearing capacity over 30% greater than that of an aluminum frame and resists deformation over time. This reduces maintenance and replacement costs for those who rely on a wheelchair daily, lowering long-term costs. This  powered wheelchair's 6 km/h speed is suitable for outdoor travel and is more efficient than standard electric wheelchairs (4-5 km/h), saving time for people with lower limb disabilities when seeking medical treatment or shopping. While the initial purchase cost may be higher than the first model, this powered wheelchair's durability and low maintenance make it a better choice for those with long-term needs.

Summary: Choose the right wheelchair for your needs.

If you're recovering from surgery, commuting daily, or need to move your wheelchair frequently, the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of aluminum electric wheelchair will suit your needs. If you're using your wheelchair for extended periods, frequent outdoor activities, or require exceptional braking stability and wheelchair stability, the durability and safety of the steel  electric wheelchair are a better choice. Choosing the right electric wheelchairs,let the electric wheelchairs truly bring more freedom and convenience to your life.
