Electric wheelchairs can be propelled by a joystick or manually via a carer.
They are motorised mobility vehicles that are an excellent alternative to manual wheelchairs. If the user does not have sufficient upper body strength, a motorised electric wheelchair allows them to travel without having to propel themselves.
Electric wheelchairs operate using electric-powered motors and rechargeable batteries.
The motor draws power from the batteries, allowing the wheelchair to travel without aid from another person.
How far an electric wheelchair can travel on a single charge depends on the size of the motor and battery capacity. It can also be a combination of other factors, such as the user’s weight, driving style, and the surfaces the wheelchair operates on.
How long an electric wheelchair takes to charge is dependent on factors such as:
- The amps of your charger
- Your battery’s health (whether it is a new or old battery)
- The size of your battery
