Things to note when purchasing an electric wheelchair

When buying an electric wheelchair, there are several important considerations that can help you make a more appropriate choice:

Usage requirements: Determine the usage scenario, such as indoor, outdoor or long-distance travel, to choose the right model.

Drive mode: Electric wheelchairs are mainly front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and mid-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is suitable for indoor use, and rear-wheel drive is suitable for outdoor use. Consider your main use environment when choosing.

Weight and portability: Pay attention to the weight of the electric wheelchair. If you need to carry it frequently, a lightweight and foldable style is more suitable.

Endurance: Check the battery life to ensure that it can meet your needs in daily use.

Speed and control: Different styles of electric wheelchairs have different speeds. Choose a control method (such as handles, rockers, etc.) that suits your operating habits and safety requirements.

Comfort: Try sitting in the wheelchair to check the comfort and support of the seat. Adjustable backrests and armrests are also plus points.

Safety: Make sure the wheelchair is equipped with necessary safety devices, such as brake systems, reverse protection, etc.

Maintenance and maintenance: Understand the maintenance needs of the wheelchair, such as battery replacement and cleaning, and choose a model that is easy to maintain.

Price and brand: Choose a suitable brand and model according to your budget. Well-known brands usually provide better after-sales service.

Additional functions: Choose additional functions according to personal needs, such as adjustable seats, lifting functions, accessories (such as cup holders, shopping baskets), etc.

Consult professionals: If you are not sure, you can consult a doctor or a professional rehabilitation equipment consultant for more professional advice.

Considering the above factors can help you choose an electric wheelchair that suits your needs.
