What is an elderly mobility vehicle?

Elderly mobility vehicles are ideal vehicles for outdoor travel for the elderly, also known as elderly cars, elderly electric vehicles, or elderly three (four) wheeled vehicles. Its performance is relatively stable, the speed is slow, and there is no need to refuel when using electricity, so it is also known as an environmentally friendly elderly electric vehicle. There are many energy sources used by elderly electric vehicles, mainly lead-acid batteries (including lead-acid colloidal batteries), nickel hydrogen batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, nickel iron batteries, lithium-ion batteries (commonly referred to as lithium batteries), fuel cells, etc. Fuel cells convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy through electrochemical means at isothermal conditions. It does not go through the heat engine process, so it is not limited by the Carnot cycle and has a high energy conversion efficiency (40-60%); Almost no emissions of NOx and SOx are generated. Moreover, CO2 emissions are reduced by more than 40% compared to conventional power plants.

Strictly speaking, a true elderly electric scooter product should have evolved from an electric wheelchair originally classified as a medical device, and the design of the product is more suitable for the driving habits of the elderly and disabled. And the target audience has expanded from the disabled population of electric wheelchairs to the elderly with limited mobility. The design and production of the product all refer to the national standards for electric bicycles and electric wheelchairs, and in some parameter indicators, it is even more stringent than the above two national standards. The vehicle speed is designed to be within 10 kilometers/hour, the chassis height of the whole vehicle is 8cm, and the braking distance is within 0.5 meters. It is superior to the original electric wheelchairs in all aspects, and is an upgraded model of electric wheelchairs that can meet the travel needs of elderly friends, while providing more comprehensive safety guarantees.
