Electric wheelchair has won the favor of the elderly and disabled friends because of its flexibility, ease of operation and other characteristics. Electric wheelchairs bring great convenience for the elderly and the disabled to travel. But driving an electric wheelchair will inevitably encounter uphill and downhill sections, so is it safe to drive an electric wheelchair uphill and downhill? Today for you to analyze the operation skills and precautions of driving an electric wheelchair downhill.
The ability of electric wheelchair to climb or climb is limited. Each car has its own maximum gradient. In order to prevent the danger of electric wheelchair turning back in the upper road section, most electric wheelchairs also have two anti-rollback wheels, which can prevent the wheelchair turning back when climbing up, but the premise is to prevent the back-roll wheels from overturning. Then you need to lean forward slightly and move the center of gravity slightly forward.
When the horsepower is insufficient, if the load exceeds the limit or the battery power is insufficient, the power of the electric wheelchair will be insufficient. However, in order to prevent the occurrence of sliding, most of the electric wheelchairs use electromagnetic intelligent brakes, and all of you are buying them. Electric wheelchairs should not only be cheap, but also take into account the safety devices of electric wheelchairs, such as anti-tilt wheels, such as electromagnetic brakes.
The skills and precautions for driving an electric wheelchair uphill are mentioned in the front. The following is an introduction to the skills and precautions for driving an electric wheelchair downhill:
There are two main types of electric wheelchair brake system on the market, one is electromagnetic brake, the other is electronic brake. Overall, the braking performance of electromagnetic brake is more reliable. Usually there is no braking failure when driving in the safe slope range. But the braking performance of electronic brake is slightly inadequate. There will be slow forward slip or backward slip after braking. Therefore, if the electric wheelchair is equipped with electronic brakes, it is recommended to keep enough electricity when traveling, otherwise it will slip slowly when the electricity is insufficient in the uphill. It is recommended to slow down on downhill.
In addition, regardless of the braking system, driving an electric wheelchair is best to develop a good habit, that is to check whether the electricity is sufficient and whether the braking system is good before going out. When driving an electric wheelchair on a large slope, lean forward as far as possible. On the contrary, when driving downhill, reduce the speed as far as possible, fasten the seat belt and lean back as far as possible to adjust the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, so as to prevent the injury caused by the wheelchair dumping. Of course, the safest way is to ask passers-by for help when you encounter a slope you are not sure of, or to take a detour.
