1. Ordinary wheelchair
Ordinary wheelchairs generally consist of a wheelchair frame, wheels, brakes and seat backs, and are suitable for the elderly or physically disabled.
2. Hand-cranked wheelchair
The appearance of a hand-cranked wheelchair is similar to that of a normal wheelchair. A set of hand-cranked driving device is added to the basis of a normal wheelchair. It is driven by a chain. When the hands are rotated synchronously, it can realize straight travel; differential motion can realize turning and flexible manipulation. The hand-cranked drive is more in line with the human body's usage habits, and is less labor-saving than ordinary wheelchairs, and is suitable for people with able-bodied upper limbs.
3. Leisure wheelchair
On the basis of ordinary wheelchairs, recreational wheelchairs highlight aesthetics and medical properties, which weaken the medical functions of wheelchairs. Recreational wheelchairs are mainly used by the elderly, and generally use small wheels less than 20 inches. The whole vehicle is relatively small and light, which is convenient for travel.
