As they grow older, the elderly will encounter some problems in their daily travels, such as limited physical strength and strain after a few steps; complete loss of walking ability due to paralysis or amputation of the lower limbs; or they are undergoing some rehabilitation training, which is not conducive to walking, etc. At this time, most children will buy electric wheelchairs for the elderly in the family to enable them to go out more safely.

Electric wheelchairs can very well avoid and reduce the chances of elderly falling and injury. Still, they also can provide a more comfortable experience for the elderly to go out. Electric wheelchairs are no longer the "preserve" of the disabled but have become a common travel aid for the elderly. So how do we choose the right electric wheelchair for our elderly family members? As a professional electric wheelchair company, here are 3 simple points to discuss with you.

(1) Choose a power wheelchair for your needs. There are various styles of electric wheelchairs on the market, so when we choose one, we must choose it according to the need and make an effective selection from the user's point of view. For example, the elderly still can walk and usually go out to walk, and then you do not need a heavy wheelchair, so you can choose a lightweight electric wheelchair for the elderly; the elderly are tired of going out, you can also come down and push the wheelchair for a walk, and when you return home, you can also fold up, and do not need to take up much space; but if the elderly have limited legs, completely lost the ability to walk, there is no way If an older person has difficulty walking and is unable to go out and play normally, you can purchase a multifunctional electric wheelchair to achieve self-care and daily outings.

(2) Safety and comfort is the key. Nowadays, young people generally do not stay with the elderly for a long time. The elderly themselves are not convenient for the maintenance and repair of electric wheelchairs, so to avoid the failure of electric wheelchairs, endangering the safety of the elderly, we need to pay particular attention to the brake system, motor, and tires of the wheelchair.

(3) Pay attention to after-sales issues. When we buy electric wheelchairs, we must consider the after-sales problem of the product, the industry standards for domestic production of electric wheelchairs are different, and the accessories of various manufacturers are not common. If you encounter no long-term business intentions, see the market for electric wheelchairs to operate a brand company for a while. The product after-sales of this electric wheelchair are particularly worrying. So we must read the manual before placing an order to determine whether the brand party on the product label is consistent with the manufacturer. If it is consistent, avoid placing an order!

The above is how to pick the right electric wheelchair for the elderly. If you need more detailed information, welcome to contact us!
