13.7 Braking the electric wheelchair
The braking mechanism; i.e. the process from initiating the braking process until the electric wheelchair co -
mes to a stop, depends very heavily on a number of factors, such as:
> Surface and nature of the surface being travelled on.
> Total weight of the electric wheelchair (vehicle plus driver).
L
On braking during cruising speed at about 6km/h, your electric wheelchair has a braking distance of
about 1 metre!
L
When the brake is engaged at high speeds, specially in downhill travel, the electric wheelchair may
roll or skid. For this reason, avoid braking suddenly!
