The Benefits Of Front Wheel Drive Power Chairs
This configuration offers several advantages, including:
Enhanced Manoeuvrability: The placement of the drive wheels at the front allows for tighter turning radius, making it easier to navigate through confined spaces such as doorways and narrow corridors.
Stability: Front wheel drive power chairs typically offer excellent stability, especially when climbing obstacles or traversing uneven terrain. The front-wheel drive system distributes weight more evenly, reducing the risk of tipping over.
Smooth Ride: With the drive wheels positioned at the front, front wheel drive power chairs provide a smoother ride, absorbing shocks and bumps more effectively. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with sensitive or fragile conditions.
These front wheel drive chairs offer different benefits to our mid wheel drive power chairs and rear wheel drive power chairs, which offer alternative capabilities.
