Electrical system

The wheelchair batteries are situated under the battery cover in the centre of the
chassis. The batteries are maintenance-free (jelly-type), so there is no need to
check fluid levels.

Drive system
The wheelchair has a drive pack for each drive wheel. The motors regulate
speed, turning and braking. A joystick on the control panel passes signals to the
electronic unit under the chassis cover on the right-hand side, which in turn
controls the motors.
