Hubang is the largest professional company in China that produces wheelchairs and other rehabilitation equipment. As the only company that participated in the drafting of the national standard for both manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs, its status in China is self-evident. Although its wheelchair products are not as comprehensive as the classification of Sangui, the quality is reliable and the cost performance is acceptable, which can be described as an entry choice.
Hubang wheelchairs are not divided into series, only by model. The first two letters HB represent Hubang, the third letter is the material identification, L is aluminum alloy, G refers to steel pipe, and if it also has the suffix D, it is an electric wheelchair. Like Zhongjin, Hubang's electric wheelchairs are more competitive than manual wheelchairs, which can be seen from the choice of motors.
As one of the core components of electric wheelchairs, electric motors are divided into brushless and brushed. When the brush motor is working, the magnetic pole does not move, the coil rotates, and the brush contacts to transmit energy, so noise will be generated. Its price is low, but the service life is short, and the operation is not smooth. The brushless motor, on the other hand, senses the position of the poles of the permanent magnet through the Hall element, and uses an electronic circuit to switch the direction of the current in the coil at the right time to drive the motor. It runs relatively quietly and smoothly, although the price is higher, but the durability is good, and most of the electric wheelchairs in Hubang use this.
Hubang's exclusive front and rear dual controller design, as well as the foldable frame, all increase the convenience of the electric wheelchair. Compared with brands such as Inwellcom, Zhongjin, and Prader, which often cost tens of thousands of yuan, Hubang controls the price of electric wheelchairs within 8,000, and has obvious cost-effective advantages. If you don't have special needs such as standing and lifting, you can consider starting.
In terms of manual wheelchairs, the price may be the biggest selling point of Hubang, and there are very few products over 1,000 yuan, basically 500-800 yuan. It's just an aluminum alloy frame, which is not as light and strong as the Sangui double-layer aerospace aluminum alloy. Of course, if you don't weigh much, you can also use it as a cheap alternative.
