The lightweight foldable power wheelchairis becoming more mainstream as technology advances and the needs of the elderly and disabled diversify. The real-life dilemma for many consumers is that they want to buy a lightweight foldable power wheelchair, but they don't want it to be safe, so today we're going to find out if a lightweight foldable power wheelchairis safe.

Before the electric wheelchair usually uses a steel tube structure, and a lead-acid battery, so the whole vehicle weight is larger, folding is not convenient, can not be folded to carry. But electric wheelchairs are getting lighter, from steel tubes to titanium-aluminum or carbon-fiber, and lead-acid batteries to lighter lithium-ion batteries.

Therefore, the current electric wheelchair mainstream brands are in the direction of lightweight intelligent development. In the past, an electric wheelchair weighed a hundred kilograms, and now an electric wheelchair only weighs more than 20 kilograms. In the past two years, for some manufacturers of carbon fiber applications and electric wheelchairs, vehicle weight can be reduced to 18-20 kg. This weight is light enough for a dual-motor electric wheelchair.

Many people think that electric wheelchairs are too light and less safe, but this is wrong. The safety of an electric wheelchair has nothing to do with its weight, the portable folding electric wheelchair as safe.

First, the lightweight foldable power wheelchairis made of all aluminum, which is strong enough that it won't fall apart on impact, as long as the store doesn't cut corners on the material. What's more, driving an electric wheelchair while walking on the sidewalk there is no collision problem, even if unskilled should also be in the spacious field after the practice on the sidewalk to drive, this is the minimum safety awareness.

Secondly, in terms of safety configurations, regular electric wheelchair brands have designed anti-tilt wheels, shock absorbers, electromagnetic brakes, and other safety configurations. If a portable wheelchair is not equipped with these safety configurations, then you should choose carefully.

Third, in terms of weight, it must be that the bigger, heavier outdoor and functional wheelchairs are more stable, but the light wheelchairs are designed to have a lower center of gravity than the electric wheelchairs with their weight, in other words, the barrier-jumping performance of lightweight foldable power wheelchairis inferior to that of the large, heavy outdoor electric wheelchair. But it is also designed to reduce the center of gravity, and adjust the chassis, to avoid the risk of tipping the wheelchair.
