Braking the power wheelchair
The braking distance i.e. the distance from initiating the braking process until the power
wheelchair comes to a standstill, is heavily dependent on factors such as:
>
Ground or condition of the road.
>
Total weight (vehicle and driver) of the power wheelchair.
.
L
When braking from full speed at approx. 6 km/h, your power wheelchair has a
braking distance of approx. 1 metre!

During the braking process from high speeds, especially in the case of downhill
travel, the power wheelchair can lurch from side to side or swerve. For this
reason, avoid sharp braking!
