Hubang Smart Electric Wheelchair Series
The Hubang Smart Electric Wheelchair Series represents over 26 models of powered mobility devices developed by Shanghai Hubang Intelligent Rehabilitation Equipment Co., Ltd. Ranging from ultra-lightweight portable units to heavy-duty off-road configurations, this product line incorporates proprietary brushless motor technology and intelligent control systems designed for users with mobility impairments.
Product Overview
Hubang’s electric wheelchair portfolio addresses diverse mobility needs through three primary categories: lightweight portable models for travel convenience, standard daily-use models for home and community environments, and specialized models including standing wheelchairs and off-road variants. The series notably includes what the company claims as the world’s first electric wheelchair weighing under 15 kilograms, achieving this through carbon fiber aluminum hybrid construction and optimized motor design.
Key Features
Lightweight Engineering: Premium models use carbon fiber and aluminum alloy hybrid frames, reducing total weight to under 15kg while maintaining structural integrity. This enables easier transport in vehicle trunks and airline travel compliance.
Proprietary Brushless Motor: Hubang’s self-developed high-efficiency lightweight brushless motor holds invention patent protection. This motor technology contributes to reduced weight, improved energy efficiency, and extended battery life compared to traditional brushed motor designs.
Electromagnetic Brake System: Automatic braking engages when the control lever is released, preventing uncontrolled movement on slopes up to 30 degrees. This safety feature addresses a significant concern for users navigating inclined surfaces.
Intelligent Controls: Advanced models integrate GPS positioning, voice calling capability, and smartphone connectivity for remote control and status monitoring. The joystick controller provides intuitive operation with adjustable sensitivity settings.
Off-Road Capability: The HBD3A-TK001 Off-road Model features 500W hub motors, 16-inch rear wheels, and 10-inch front wheels capable of climbing 7cm steps. Dual motor configuration with anti-rollover wheels provides stability on uneven terrain.
Technical Specifications
Designed for mobility across varied terrain, Hubang’s lightest models weigh under 15 kg with 20–25 km range, while the off-road 500W variant climbs 7 cm steps at up to 8 km/h.
