39c2b63b38816613363e608eaf5d5ff (1)

1.Definition and basic concepts

Wheelchair power attachment: usually refers to the front wheel part of the wheelchair (including the front wheel, front wheel bracket, etc.). The design of the head affects the stability, controllability and comfort of the wheelchair. It can be part of a manual wheelchair or an electric wheelchair.

Electric wheelchair: An electric wheelchair is a battery-powered wheelchair that uses an electric motor to help the user move. Its design focuses on improving mobility, automation and user convenience. The front wheels (front part) of an electric wheelchair are usually part of the electric drive system and can assist in driving, steering and other functions.

2.Power and drive mode

Wheelchair head: The front wheel part of the head usually does not provide any electric drive force. It mainly supports and guides the direction of the wheelchair. The design of the head may include the size, material and steering method of the front wheel, which affect the operating performance and comfort of the wheelchair.

Electric wheelchair: The driving force of an electric wheelchair comes from batteries and electric motors. Electric wheelchairs not only have front wheels (front part) to bear weight and turn, but also use motors to drive rear wheels or all wheels to provide power, allowing users to easily move forward, backward, turn, and even travel on uneven ground. The motor of an electric wheelchair is closely related to the design of the front part, and the design of the front wheel may affect the distribution of driving force.

3.Usage and applicable scenarios

Wheelchair power assist:The handcycle is part of the manual wheelchair. The user manually controls the direction and speed of the wheelchair head, and can move forward smoothly whether on a flat road or on a snowy beach.It is also suitable for long-distance travel, whether taking the high-speed rail or the plane is very convenient and fast.

Electric wheelchair: Electric wheelchairs are driven by electric motors and are suitable for users who are physically weak or completely unable to use their hands to push a manual wheelchair. They are more suitable for use on flat roads, indoors and for short distances.

4.Design and structure

The wheelchair power assist: The design of the front is relatively simple, mainly consisting of the front wheel and the frame. The front of the wheelchair may be equipped with small tires, a rotating shaft and a steering system to allow the user to turn smoothly when pushing the wheelchair manually. Some manual wheelchairs may have fixed wheels or adjustable wheels, the former providing simple straight-line travel, the latter allowing the user to adjust the direction of the front of the wheelchair.

Electric wheelchair: The structure of an electric wheelchair includes batteries, motors, control systems, and electric drive devices. The front wheels of an electric wheelchair are usually larger and heavier. The design of an electric wheelchair needs to consider the layout of the power system, the location of the battery, and the overall weight balance to ensure stability and maneuverability.

5.Control and manipulation

Wheelchair front: The front wheel of a manual wheelchair is steered by the user manually operating the joystick. The flexibility and stability of the steering are determined by the design of the front wheel (such as the angle, size, material, etc. of the front wheel), and the operation is relatively simple.The wheelchair handcycle is relatively light and flexible, and the speed can usually reach 25km/h-30km/h. And it can be adjusted in different gears.

Electric wheelchair: Electric wheelchairs are more complicated to control and are operated by handles, remote controls or pedals. Users control forward, backward, turning and docking movements through an electronic control system. However, since electric wheelchairs are large and heavy, their maximum speed is usually limited to 6 km/h.

6.Comfort and adaptability

Wheelchair front wheel: Different sizes of front wheels can be selected according to different roadsides. 12 inches can be selected for flat urban roads, and 16 inches or even fat tires can be selected for snowy grass and beaches. Larger front wheels can better cope with uneven ground and reduce the user's sense of vibration.

Electric wheelchair: The design of electric wheelchair is relatively fixed, the overall size is large and heavy. It is generally used more on flat roads.

7.Price and maintenance

Wheelchair headbike: As a part of the wheelchair, there are various choices of headbike, high-end, medium-end and low-end, which can be suitable for users with different economic conditions. The headbike itself is usually a component of a manual wheelchair, so maintenance is relatively simple. You only need to regularly check the wear of the front wheel and clean the axle.

Electric wheelchair: The overall price of an electric wheelchair is relatively high because it integrates multiple complex components such as electric motors, batteries, control systems, etc. The maintenance of electric wheelchairs is also relatively complicated, requiring regular inspection of batteries, motors, and control systems, etc. Battery replacement and motor maintenance may increase maintenance costs.
