Why Choose an Electric Wheelchairs?

Switching from a manual to an electric wheelchair is a life-changing decision. Unlike manual chairs that require significant upper-body strength or a caregiver’s assistance, an electric wheelchair puts the control back in your hands—literally.

• Effortless Control: Managed by a sensitive joystick, these chairs require minimal physical effort to operate.

• Increased Stamina: Users can travel longer distances without fatigue, making social outings and errands much easier.

• Adaptability: Most power chairs are designed to handle various surfaces, including ramps and slightly uneven pavements, which can be difficult for manual chairs.

• Health Benefits: By reducing the strain on shoulders and arms, users can avoid long-term joint pain and repetitive strain injuries.

Key Features to Consider Before Buying

When browsing through our collection, keep these vital technical aspects in mind to ensure you get the best value for your money:

• Battery Type & Range: Choose between Lead-Acid (budget-friendly) or Lithium-Ion (lightweight and fast charging). Check the “Range per Charge” to see how many kilometres it can cover.

• Weight Capacity: Always check the maximum load the chair can safely carry.

• Drive Train: Rear-wheel drives offer more power for outdoors, while mid-wheel drives offer the best turning radius for indoors.

• Adjustability: Look for adjustable armrests, footrests, and reclining backrests to ensure long-term seating comfort.

• Portability: If you travel frequently, look for “Quick-Release” battery features and folding mechanisms.

Maintenance Tips for Your Motorised Wheelchair

To ensure your electric wheelchair stays in top condition for years, follow these simple maintenance steps:

• Battery Care: Never let your battery drain completely to 0%. Charge it every night, even if you haven’t used it much that day.

• Keep it Dry: Water is the enemy of electronics. If you get caught in the rain, wipe down the joystick and battery area immediately.

• Tire Inspection: Regularly check the tread and air pressure (for pneumatic tyres) to ensure a smooth ride and prevent motor strain.

• Joystick Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to keep the controller free of dust and debris, which can interfere with the sensors.

• Annual Service: Just like a car, getting your chair checked once a year by a professional can prevent major mechanical failures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Do I need a license to drive an electric wheelchair in India?

No, electric wheelchairs are classified as mobility aids, not motor vehicles. You do not need a driver’s license or registration to use them on sidewalks or inside buildings.

Q2: How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

On average, a full charge takes between 4 and 8 hours. Most users prefer charging their chairs overnight so they are ready for the day ahead.

Q3: Can these wheelchairs be operated manually if the battery dies?

Yes, most of our models come with a “Manual/Electric” dual-mode switch. By engaging the freewheel lever, a caregiver can push the chair just like a standard manual wheelchair.

Q4: What is the warranty policy on Wheelopedia products?

We offer comprehensive warranties on the frame, motor, and controller. Warranty periods vary by brand, so please check the specific product page for details.

Q5: Can I use my electric wheelchair on steep ramps?

Most power chairs can handle a gradient of 6 to 10 degrees comfortably. We recommend checking the “Climbing Capacity” spec on the product page before attempting very steep inclines.
