Core Products

Electric Wheelchairs (D-Series)

The aluminum alloy power wheelchair line represents JBH’s core product offering. Models range from compact travel wheelchairs to heavy-duty units capable of supporting 300kg. All electric wheelchairs feature electromagnetic braking systems that stop the chair immediately when the joystick is released, lithium batteries approved for airline travel, and foldable frames that collapse within 3 seconds.

Carbon Fiber Electric Wheelchairs (DC-Series)

The premium DC-series uses carbon fiber construction for reduced weight without compromising strength. These wheelchairs typically weigh under 20kg while maintaining load capacities up to 150kg. The carbon fiber frames offer superior corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal compared to aluminum alternatives.

Electric Standing Wheelchair (Z01)

The Z01 model enables users to transition from seated to standing position through motorized actuation. Features include full leather upholstery across the seat, backrest, and headrest, adjustable configurations for different body types, PG controller for smooth operation, and integrated LED lighting with dining tray and knee pad accessories.

Mobility Scooters

The FN and FD series portable scooters emphasize travel-friendly design with foldable frames and lithium battery power. Models include three-wheel and four-wheel configurations for different stability and maneuverability requirements.

Manual and Sports Wheelchairs

JBH produces aluminum alloy manual wheelchairs including specialized sports wheelchairs (S-series) designed for basketball and other athletic activities. The sports models feature quick-release wheels and lightweight frames weighing approximately 12kg.

Technology & Innovation

JBH’s engineering approach emphasizes practical improvements to wheelchair durability and user experience:

Dual Heat Treatment Process: All aluminum wheelchair frames undergo both T4 and T6 heat treatment before leaving the factory. According to JBH’s technical documentation, most competitors perform only T4 treatment or none at all, resulting in less durable frames.

Electromagnetic Braking: The intelligent braking system stops the wheelchair immediately upon joystick release, providing safety during emergency situations or on inclines.

Shock Absorption Systems: Most electric wheelchair models incorporate suspension for traversing uneven terrain including gravel roads and grass surfaces.

Airline-Approved Batteries: Lithium battery packs meet aviation regulations for carry-on luggage, enabling users to travel by air with their wheelchairs.

The company holds 66+ patents related to wheelchair design and manufacturing processes.

Market Presence

JBH products reach customers in 87 countries across North America, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, Eastern Asia, and Western Europe. The company provides OEM/ODM services for several established domestic and international wheelchair brands.

Export markets represent the primary focus, with JBH participating in international trade shows including Medtrade in the United States. The company maintains distribution agents in various countries to provide localized technical support and after-sales service.

Within China, JBH products are sold through e-commerce platforms including JD.com under both the JBH brand and private-label arrangements.
