The motor is the heart of an electric wheelchair, it provides power to the wheelchair. A good motor can make you feel easy when climbing. The motor is divided into brush motor & bruless motor, and brushless motor would be more expensive.
How to judge whether this electric wheelchair is user-friendly or not? The controller plays an important role. Joystick controls offer full directional ( 360°) control and speed control. A good controller should be sensitive enough to run the instructions accurately. And it also should be durable enough. In order to reduce the cost, many manufacturers would choose cheap controller, but it will increase your maintenance costs.
Traditional electric wheelchair always use the lead-acid batteries. This kind of battery has a stable performance and very cheap, but it’s disadvantages are also obvious, it is too heavy and can’t be taken to the airplane. If you are searching for lightweight electric wheelchair, lithium battery would be more suitable.
Steel and aluminum alloy are the most common materials for electric wheelchairs, but the price are totally different . Aluminum alloy is more durable and lightweight, so more and more manufacturers would choose it as the main material of frame. If you want a better one , carbon fiber frame can be taken into consideration.
By the way, a quick way to cut costs is by cutting corners in production or service methods. So even the same materials, the finished products would be much different in quality , of course that the price will also be different.
High-end electric wheelchair always equips the electromagnetic brake.This intelligent braking system is much more expensive than normal ones, but it can provides a more effective protection. For people who need the assistance of wheelchair, safety is the primary consideration.
The quality of the mould determines the quality of the wheelchair . The more complex the processing technology, the more , the higher the manufacturing costs. For high quality electric wheelchair, the cost and time spend on the mould would be much more than your imagination.
Good electric wheelchair always have a humanization design, and it usually has many additional functions. The more functions it has , the more expensive. Here are some common functions you may need.
Folding electric wheelchair is a new trending in recent years. With this function, you can easily put it into the trunk. When you don’t need it, just fold it up and put it in the corner.

With an adjustable wheelchair, you can adjust the seat width, footrest, headrest or other parts according to your requirements.
