Patients with significant physical disabilities and neurological diseases that affect their daily lives can benefit from electric wheelchairs. Because of their advantages, such as simplicity of use, greater convenience, and trouble-free use, electric wheelchairs are becoming more and more popular.
Patients who are unable to operate manual wheelchairs or users who want to travel farther in wheelchairs frequently utilise them. A wheelchair that can be driven by an electric motor is referred to as a powered wheelchair.
They are helpful for persons who cannot use a manual wheelchair and for those who use wheelchairs for longer distances or rougher terrain, which can be exhausting in a manual wheelchair.
Electric wheelchairs are also used on a daily basis by patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, fatigue-based ailments, and neurological conditions.
The Austria Electric Wheelchair Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The Austrian company Klaxon Mobility, which creates an electric handbike that attaches to wheelchairs, and Voi have announced a new relationship. Voi intends to increase the number of accessible transportation options, beginning in New York, by including the device into their shared fleets.
The Klaxon Klick gives an additional electric boost of power and attaches to manual wheelchairs via an unique connection method. To attach the Klaxon gadget, first-time customers will receive what Voi refers to as a “tiny hitch” under the seat of their wheelchair. The device is simple to install and secure for every subsequent journey.
The Swedish business believes the technology is especially useful in cities where people using electric wheelchairs frequently share lanes with bikers but manual wheelchairs frequently find it difficult to manoeuvre in the fast-moving traffic.
More cities, according to Voi, are realising that wheelchair users and other people with mobility issues can benefit from improved mobility access thanks to roadways designed to facilitate micromobility.
To simplify the renting process, Voi intends to collaborate with the city’s transportation department and accessibility organisations.
As they are currently looking for a licence to operate their e-scooter sharing services there, they chose New York City for the first experiment. In New York, the Klaxon Klick will be available for monthly and on-demand rentals.
