1. What is an “e-wheel” ? An “e-wheel” is the short form of “electric- wheel” which is superior to electric wheel chairs. 2. What is split frame chassis? Conventional wheel chairs have a single frame chassis on to which the wheels, motors, seat and batteries are fixed. For e-wheels there are two frames. To one frame the seats and the front wheels are fixed and to the other frame the drive wheels, motor and batteries are fixed, both these frames being connected to each other by a flexible member. 3.Comparison of split frame chasis and conventional single frame chassis The wheels of the single frame chassis lifts up at a small level difference in ground conditions where as he split frame e-wheels tires will always be in contact with the ground. to get image Click Here 4. What are the advantages of split frame chassis over conventional single frame chassis? The Split Frame Chassis assures good drive control, better maneuverability, good control capabilities when negotiating slanting and rough road conditions by reducing the side drag, ensures very fine control over the equipment when driving up or down gradient. In conventional chassis electric wheel chairs the wheels lift up when there is a level difference in the ground or floor the wheel chair is running. This can cause loss of control lead to accidents. The split frame chassis makes sure that all the four wheels touches the ground in a level difference up to 100 mm thus giving a better drive control and better maneuverability in tough terrain conditions. This design also helps to drive across inclines with in 15 degrees .The split frame thus reduces risk of accidents for an electric wheel chair. 5.
