It may be difficult to choose between an electric scooter or an electric wheelchair because they look very similar.

The electric wheelchair is a very versatile product that can be used by a variety of users depending on their needs and lifestyle.

Find out why electric wheelchairs are the best option for users.

1. FOLDING ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS ARE MORE CAPABLE THAN MOBILITY SCOOTERS OF EQUAL WEIGHT

A folding electric wheelchair, such as the Smart Electric Wheelchair  or the Smart Electric Wheelchair ranges from Zhejiang Qianxi Vehicle Co.,Ltd., is pound-for-pound lighter than a mobility scooter. It is even more true when you take into account their abilities and build quality.

We use lithium-ion battery technology in our electric wheelchairs. These batteries are lighter than the larger, bulkier lead acid batteries commonly used in mobility wheelchairs. Our electric wheelchairs' batteries are safe to fly and have a high-quality charge that will last longer. This should help to reduce range anxiety during travel.

It is important to take into consideration the weight of your equipment, especially if this is a new way to get around. Transporting a mobility electric wheelchair is easier than a lighter electric wheelchair.

2. The turning circle of electric wheelchairs is smaller.

Electric wheelchairs are also popular because they have a smaller turning circle than scooters. They are therefore more suitable for tight or small spaces, such as those in shops and around the home. It can be comforting for the user to know that they have enough space to maneuver in tighter spaces or to use a mobility scooter when visiting new places.

All the smart electric wheelchairs that we offer at Zhejiang Qianxi Vehicle Co.,Ltd. can rotate on their axis. This makes them very maneuverable, in any situation. This should give you confidence when you use the electric wheelchair in a new place.

3. Electric Wheelchairs are Much More Practical

Electric wheelchairs tend to be smaller and lighter than mobility scooters. This makes it easier to transport them in the trunk of a vehicle or as luggage on public transportation. Electric wheelchairs that fold up are much easier to assemble than mobility scooters. The electric wheelchair is simply unfolded and a joystick attached, while a mobility scooter will require you to connect two pieces, and then add the battery and seat.

When deciding whether to choose an electric wheelchair over a scooter, it is important to take into consideration the ability to travel with the mobility device. You will find it very useful if you enjoy going on holidays or weekends away to be able to take your electric wheelchair anywhere. This includes trains, buses, and planes.

4. FOLDING ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS ARE SAFER AND STABLER THAN MOBILITY SCOOTERS

We use only the most durable and high-quality materials when manufacturing our folding electric wheelchairs. You can trust your Smart electric wheelchair will perform on a wide range of surfaces. A Zhejiang Qianxi Vehicle Co.,Ltd. electric wheelchair can handle any terrain, including grass, sand, and other difficult surfaces.

These scooters are less stable and less effective than our Smart electric wheelchair range.

Mobility scooters have a very long wheelbase and are narrow, so they can easily tip. Folding electric wheelchairs have what is called a short wheelbase with a center of gravity that makes them nearly impossible to tip.

5. The seating position of electric wheelchairs is better

You may have heard the term neutral seating position. When fitting electric wheelchairs for our customers, we aim to achieve this neutral seating position. This means you should create right angles in your body. Neutral back, legs, and knees with your shoulders setback.

The seating position on scooters is not neutral. Your back and shoulders lean forward so that your hands are in good contact with the handlebars. This can put a lot of strain on your body over time.

You can purchase accessories for our electric wheelchairs such as leg extensions and Electric Wheelchair headrest, to improve your comfort. Our Smart Wheelchair Recliner has reclining backrests to help those with additional posture needs. Mobility scooters are often generically designed and do not take into account the unique needs of users.

6. Electric Wheelchairs are more customizable than Scooters

Electric wheelchairs can be customized to meet the needs of electric wheelchair users. It could be the accessories available or posture-related.

At Zhejiang Qianxi Vehicle Co.,Ltd., we have a range of accessories that will help you get the most out of your electric wheelchair. For example, our electric wheelchair leg extensions provide users with an enhanced seating position. Add accessories like UPGRADED CushION to change not only the comfort but also the seating height. This is important for people with long legs.
