This lightweight folding electric wheelchair significantly facilitates individuals with mobility impairments with its outstanding lightweight and portability features. Whether navigating the city, travelling, or switching between different means of transportation, it is an ideal choice.

The product features a carbon fibre unibody and a removable battery, while the whole chair weighs only 15kg without the battery, facilitating a more convenient user experience. The carbon fibre material boasts excellent plasticity and high strength, contributing to the reduction of assembly parts and ensuring safety through an excellent load-bearing capacity of a maximum of 110 kg.

Furthermore, the gas spring mechanism, present centrally in the wheelchair frame, utilizes the principle of air compression and expansion to provide supplementary force, facilitating swift folding and unfolding of the wheelchair in a mere two steps, thereby augmenting the overall user experience. Furthermore, a rubber cushion has been thoughtfully incorporated between the frame and the motor unit, effectively absorbing vibrations and shocks that may arise due to rugged road surfaces. This feature further enhances the product's riding comfort.

The intelligent control system utilizes a built-in gyroscope sensor to evaluate the wheelchair's alignment in real time, alerting users to any incline on the road and adjusting the speed accordingly to enhance safety. The system offers a variety of control methods, including hand push, control stick, APP, and remote control, to satisfy the needs of multiple scenarios. Moreover, users can choose from three driving modes: deceleration, standard, and sport, depending on their personal requirements.
