Are electric wheelchairs allowed not to be modified without permission?

The electric wheelchair is based on the traditional manual wheelchair, superimposed with high-performance power drive device, intelligent control device, battery and other components, transformed and upgraded. Intelligent electric wheelchairs specially designed for the elderly and the disabled are gradually entering the homes of ordinary people. Electric wheelchairs are available in light, off-road, airplane, with toilet, stand-up, etc. There are various styles to meet the needs of different consumers.

In order to adapt to the needs of different indoor and outdoor environments, electric wheelchairs must be comprehensively coordinated to develop and design many factors such as body weight, vehicle length, vehicle width, wheelbase, and seat height.

The length, width and wheelbase of the integrated electric wheelchair are limited. If the vehicle speed is too fast, there will be safety hazards when driving, and safety hazards such as rollover may occur. Because of the physical reasons of the elderly and the disabled, in the process of operating the intelligent electric wheelchair, if the speed is too fast, they will not be able to respond in an emergency, which will often cause unimaginable consequences.

The modified electric wheelchair, although the speed is increased, but behind the speed increase, the safety hazards such as poor controllability are ignored. The modification will change the output power of the battery, and the mismatch between the output power of the motor and the braking system is very dangerous, which may lead to Motor burned out. In addition, the brake system can not keep up, the consequences are also terrible.

Although the modified electric wheelchair accessories have gained speed, they have lost part of the ability to climb and stay on the slope, which has invisibly increased a potential danger. If the weight of the scooter is too light and the speed is too fast, it will easily cause overturning accidents when encountering uneven ground, rolling over small stones and turning. It is not advisable to pursue speed when driving an electric wheelchair. Safety is the most important thing. Therefore, it is not recommended that users modify the electric wheelchair by themselves.
