Traditional wheelchairs are not exactly outdated, but modern motorized versions often come with useful features to encourage users to make the switch. Tivaro presents an electric model that boasts a unique kind of versatility most brands overlook. The EW8001 Pro is ideal for users who are still growing or for households with more than one mobility-impaired person.
The interesting selling point here is the automatic height adjustment system. The seat can drop as low as 15.7 inches from the ground or as high as 23.6 inches. In fact, the marketing page says it is “designed for every age with comfort and freedom.” Moreover, it can fold almost flat for easy transport or storage, depending on the situation.
For reliability, this electric wheelchair promises “all-round safety protection. To avoid accidental rollovers, the EW8001 Pro automatically decelerates during aggressive turns. Meanwhile, sensors can detect when both hands are off the controls to apply gentle braking until a full stop. A taillight is likewise visible at the rear of the lower platform to alert those behind.
In the meantime, comfort comes from the shock-absorbing spring plate, a two-inch rebound cushion, and a wingback backrest. Tivaro mounts two 300W brushless motors with mecanum wheels. Powering its drive system is a 24V 12 Ah lithium-ion battery that lasts up to 20 miles. A dual-battery package is likewise available with a range of 35 miles.
The EW8001 Pro measures 40.2″ x 23.6″ x 39″ fully deployed, and 33.9″ × 23.6″ × 15″ when it folds down. Aluminum alloy forms the robust frame, which can support a maximum weight of 300 lbs. The electric wheelchair can reach a top speed of 3.7 mph and climb slopes with a maximum grade of 12 degrees. 3.2” ledges are also not a problem.
