Put Forward an All-New Kind of Wheelchair Combining the Strengths of Manual and Electric Types.
There are various kinds of wheelchairs, but they can largely be divided into manual or electric types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The JW Series wheelchair electric power unit is designed to propose a new world of wheelchairs that brings together the advantages of both.
Manual wheelchairs account for the largest segment of wheelchair users, but despite the wide range of disability levels and individual conditions, the available options have essentially been limited to just one basic choice. The JW Series offers a new alternative for this segment of users.
Why offer an electric power unit instead of a complete electric wheelchair?
The main parts of a wheelchair must be custom-made to best suit its user.
For many seniors and people with disabilities that use wheelchairs as a vital partner in their daily lives, their needs extend beyond mobility alone, especially when physical conditions and abilities can vary widely from person to person. A wheelchair often becomes an extension of the body—making an individualized, custom-made fit essential.
The frame of a wheelchair is what serves as the chair itself and each one is designed and manufactured to match each user’s body size, physical condition, and living environment. The JW Series was therefore developed as an electric power unit that preserves the original functions of these custom-made wheelchairs while giving them electric propulsion by replacing the drive wheels only.
