Several common mistakes in purchasing electric wheelchairs

Mistakes 1: Compare the price of electric wheelchairs with that of electric cars and motorcycles.

In fact, the prices of electric wheelchairs and electric scooters for the elderly are not comparable with those of motorcycles and electric scooters. It seems that similar products are applicable to different people, so the dimension of price comparison does not exist, and there is no comparability. When purchasing an electric wheelchair, you need to measure the trial value rather than the price from the user's perspective.

Mistakes 2: The electric wheelchair is used by the disabled, and the elderly can walk without wheelchair or electric wheelchair temporarily.

Some old people want to buy an electric wheelchair or an electric scooter, but their children think that the wheelchair is for the disabled, and the old people can walk without a wheelchair or an electric wheelchair for the time being. In fact, this is a very unscientific concept, and sometimes even leads to a greater tragedy. Crutches, wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs and other assistive devices for the elderly and the disabled are products that help the elderly and the disabled walk. When it is not convenient for the elderly to move, they should be equipped with appropriate assistive devices as early as possible, which can greatly reduce the chance of accidental injury when traveling. To some extent, it is to invest in the health of the elderly, but also to reduce family medical expenditure. If all the mobility aids must be equipped when the user cannot walk, it will lose the significance of the existence of the aids; Wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs are not the "patents" of the disabled.

Mistake 3. It's OK to buy any electric wheelchair or electric scooter for the elderly that can be used. There's no need to buy a good one.

About 80% of people have this idea when purchasing electric wheelchairs, which is a serious mistake. Facts have proved that the brand effect of electric wheelchairs is the same as that of other industries. Long term quality follow-up found that the repair rate of electric wheelchairs with excellent brand is very low; In addition, large brand electric wheelchairs and electric scooters are far superior to second and third tier brands in functional design and humanized design.
