As the name suggests, a hand-pushed wheelchair is a wheelchair that needs to be pushed or pushed forward by the user. The electric wheelchair is driven by a battery, and walking can be realized through the controller joystick. So what are the advantages of an electric wheelchair compared to a manual wheelchair? Pushing a wheelchair requires both hands to turn the large wheels on the left and right sides, which is more laborious, or requires people to push it behind. With the development of technology, more and more intelligent electric wheelchairs have been developed. Next, let's take a look at the emergence and comparison of electric wheelchairs.

The emergence and development of electric wheelchairs.
Inconvenient legs and feet, and travel difficulties, are a headache for many elderly and disabled people. Traditional manual wheelchairs need to be pushed and pulled by manpower, which has defects in practicality and safety. The emergence of a wheelchair just solves this problem. The electric wheelchair in the early years only added a motor to the traditional wheelchair, changing the power source to an electric drive. With the development of science and technology, the technology of the electric wheelchair tends to be mature, and it is equipped with a motor with more stable power and less noise. Not only is it more stable to move, but also the speed can be adjusted freely. A joystick can control the wheelchair to move forward, backward, turn, and other operations. The battery power is also very long-lasting, and the activity radius can reach several kilometers. The electric wheelchair can be said to have greatly improved the self-care ability of the elderly. In addition, traditional hand-operated wheelchairs are generally pushed and pulled by both hands, and it is difficult to stop after they get up to speed. The elderly and disabled people are exhausted and go downhill at a fast speed, which is prone to danger. After years of research and testing, the brake system of electric wheelchairs is very mature, and the failure rate is almost zero.
What are the advantages of an electric wheelchair over a manual wheelchair?
1. The electric wheelchair saves energy for the user. It is no longer necessary for the user to draw the hand ring when driving an electric wheelchair, and all walking operations can be realized by lightly manipulating the joystick of the electric wheelchair controller;
2. The electric wheelchair does not need a brake, it has an electromagnetic brake, and it stops when you let go. However, if the hand-pushed wheelchair wants to stop, the user needs to manually brake, otherwise, there will be a danger of slipping or sliding;
3. The electric wheelchair does not need to be pushed by family members, which saves manpower, allows users to travel more freely, and has a larger radius of activity. The electric wheelchair generally has a battery life ranging from 10 to 30 kilometers, which can meet the daily transportation needs of most elderly people and disabled people.
4. The use of an electric wheelchair can also greatly improve the user's self-care ability. For example, in daily life, you can go to the vegetable market to buy some food, rice, oil, salt, etc., and you can drive an electric wheelchair to solve it by yourself. It is relatively more difficult to use a hand-pushed wheelchair.
The above are the advantages of the electric wheelchair compared to the manual wheelchair. I hope you can choose the right wheelchair according to your actual needs.
