What matters should be paid attention to when the electric wheelchair for the elderly is on the road

Although electric wheelchairs are convenient for the elderly with handicapped legs and feet, some elderly people and their family members are not aware of the dangers of electric wheelchairs, and even allow the elderly to ride electric wheelchairs alone. On the road, there are not only potential safety hazards, but also affect traffic. Electric wheelchairs for the elderly Note on the road:

1. Do not take people on the road with overload

Although the electric wheelchair is convenient, it is used to facilitate the travel of the elderly and the disabled, so it cannot be driven on the motorway like a motor vehicle, and it cannot take additional people on the road except the user himself.

2. The speed should not be too fast

When using an electric wheelchair, be careful not to go too fast. In addition, the electric wheelchair should not be driven too fast. For example, when crossing the road, do not turn suddenly; do not stop or turn the steering wheel suddenly; do not change lanes at will; do not accelerate suddenly and deceleration etc.

3. When in use, keep away from pedestrians

Although electric wheelchairs are slow, stable, convenient and comfortable, if you use them on the zebra crossing, you must avoid pedestrians. If you don’t pay attention to the brakes, they will still cause collisions to pedestrians.

4. You must use a safe electric wheelchair

The handlebars, armrests, seats, and backrests of regular electric wheelchairs have braking devices, and they must have safe and reliable brakes. If any faults or damages are found, they must be repaired in time, and they cannot continue to be used or on the road.
