Abstract

Wheelchairs can be moved manually, with the assistance of a partner, a joystick, or both. For patients with impairments, other pushing or controlling methods aside of a wheelchair are required. People use wheelchairs as they are unable to walk because of an illness, an accident, or a handicap. 15% of people globally have a disability, according to the WHO International Report on Disability. 131.8 million people, or 1.85% of the world’s population, are also estimated to use a wheelchair. The recommended wheelchair was developed using a comprehensive approach, which includes design, simulation, and manufacturing. In its most basic version, it looks like a three-wheeled electromagnetic wheelchair with a hub motor that, when supplied by a battery, propels the wheel. For people who are unable to walk, frames and wheels are designed. The primary objective of this endeavor is to create a self-powered wheelchair that is useful, reasonable, and easy to use. Because they lack the physical strength or hand-eye coordination to propel themselves forward on a trike with their arms and hands alone, many persons with disabilities use hand-powered wheelchairs. Any handicapped individual living in either a rural or urban area can afford it.

Keywords: Electric wheelchair, wheel mounting, throttle, chassis, hub motor
