ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR | SELF PROPELLED FOLDABLE ALLUMINIUM WHEELCHAIR

FEATURES:

• Powerchairs are generally four-wheeled or six-wheeled and non-folding, however some folding designs exist and other designs may have some ability to partially dismantle for transit.
• The electric motors of powerchairs are usually powered by 12 to 80 ampere-hour rechargeable deep-cycle batteries, the smaller batteries are used in pairs to give the chair enough power to last at least one day between charges. These are available in wet or dry options
• It is important to note that manual wheelchairs look very different to electric wheelchairs.
  They consist of :
• Wheels: They have rear wheels which are much larger than the front wheels. This is important when it comes to propelling them, but it also has the distinct advantage of offering a more comfortable ride over uneven ground than many wheelchairs do.
• Ride: An electric wheelchair often gives a rougher ride over gravel, or other uneven surfaces due to the smaller size of the wheels. This is why you will often find wheelchair users who prefer self propelled chairs, even with assistance, rather than electric wheelchairs over rougher ground.
• Movement: With practice it is possible to learn to balance the chair on just the two rear wheels, allowing the chair to negotiate turns, high thresholds, and grassed areas that would otherwise cause a barrier and prevent the chair from proceeding further without help.
  Being able to negotiate these barriers opens up a much greater freedom of movement for chair users and lets them go to places that would have been inaccessible to them before
