Electric Wheelchair – Design and Development

Designed and developed an electric wheelchair aimed at improving mobility, independence, and comfort for people with limited mobility. The wheelchair incorporates a motorized drive system powered by rechargeable batteries, allowing the user to move forward, reverse, and control the direction with an easy-to-use control interface.

The design was developed using SolidWorks, including 3D part modeling, assembly, mechanical integration, and structural consideration. Key components include the wheelchair frame, drive wheels, electric motors, battery system, seating system, steering/control mechanism, and safety features.

The project focused on creating a stable, lightweight, ergonomic, and cost-effective design that can be manufactured and maintained using locally available materials and technologies. Particular attention was given to user comfort, maneuverability, durability, and ease of operation.

Key Features:

• Motorized electric drive system
• Rechargeable battery power supply
• User-friendly directional control
• Ergonomic and supportive seating
• Stable and durable frame structure
• Forward and reverse movement
• Compact design for improved maneuverability
• Designed for easy manufacturing and maintenance
