General aviation regulations: • Below 100Wh: Usually allowed in carry-on baggage • 100Wh–160Wh: Requires approval • Over 160Wh: Usually not allowed in check-in or carry-on baggage Many electric wheelchairs use lithium batteries with capacities far exceeding 160Wh, and therefore may not be permitted by airlines.

Lightweight Power Wheelchair Advantages: 1. Lighter weight, easier to carry and store 2. Foldable structure for greater mobility 3. Simple operation, easier to learn 4. More suitable for indoor and short-distance use Disadvantages: 1. Relatively limited motor power 2. Smaller battery capacity, limited range

A multifunctional electric wheelchair is a highly adaptable electric wheelchair that adds multiple electrification, comfort assistance, and posture adjustment functions to the traditional electric wheelchair.

For individuals with limited mobility, insufficient upper limb strength, or who require frequent movement, electric wheelchairs are generally a more worthwhile purchase in terms of functionality.

The common size range for standard electric wheelchairs is as follows: • Overall width: approx. 60–65 cm • Overall length: approx. 100–110 cm • Overall height: approx. 90–100 cm • Seat width: approx. 43–46 cm • Seat depth: approx. 40–45 cm • Seat height: approx. 45–50 cm • Turning radius: approx. 80–100 cm

Uneven surfaces are among the most common and dangerous road conditions for electric wheelchair use. These include: • Potholes • Damaged concrete • Gravel roads • Cobblestone roads • Untreated construction surfaces • Raised brick paving

The most recommended charging frequency for electric wheelchair lithium batteries is: charge once a day, or top up when the charge level is 30%–50%. For lithium batteries, "frequent charging, without waiting until the charge is very low" is the most correct approach.

Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have a longer lifespan, typically 2-3 times that of lead-acid batteries. This is one reason why their lifespan data is relatively well-defined. High-quality lithium batteries can typically achieve 800-1200 cycle times, theoretically translating to a daily lifespan of 3-5 years.

For people with insufficient hand strength, arthritis, muscle weakness, or poor balance, mobility scooters can be difficult to control. Therefore, in terms of ease of control, electric wheelchairs are clearly superior to electric mobility scooters.

Considering the characteristics of lithium batteries and practical usage needs, the most reasonable charging range for most electric wheelchair users is usually: 80%–90%
