With the increase of national income, everyone's enjoyment of life is also paying more and more attention, and the improvement of the quality of life, not only "food and clothing", which also includes "travel", all people born 80 years ago have witnessed the transformation process of travel from bicycles, motorcycles, electric vehicles, and automobiles.
Means of transport are constantly enriched, this is a very objective fact, whether it is the level of income, regardless of age, there are means of transportation to adapt to their own groups, then, for the mainland is very important for the elderly group, what are the means of transport now? Small connoisseurs will take stock of the current elderly people's favorite types of scooters, the operation is very simple, to see which is more "suitable for aging"?
What is an "age-appropriate" means of transport
From a literal point of view, it is actually a means of transportation suitable for the elderly, and if you elaborate specifically, there are at least 3 requirements for vehicles that meet the "adaptive aging":
(1) The price is not too expensive, if you want to meet the needs of most of the elderly, you need to be more accessible to the people in terms of price, so as to have the basis for popularization among the elderly;
(2) The operation is not too complicated, the operation is simple is a basis for the "ageing" of the vehicle, after all, it is difficult to even learn, and how to popularize among the elderly;
(3) The safety and comfort gender is too poor, the safety hazards when driving are larger, and the comfort is poor, which is not the favorite means of transportation for most elderly people.
Combined with these 3 points that are in line with "suitable aging", let's take a look at the 4 types of transportation tools currently selected by the mainstream of the elderly in China, to see which of them will be more suitable for the elderly, in line with the characteristics of "suitable for aging".
Class 1: Four-wheeled miniature low-speed electric vehicles
The definition of miniature is that the body length is not more than 3 meters, the number of seats does not exceed 4 seats, and the definition of low speed is that the speed is not more than 70 km / h, and the current mainstream low-speed electric vehicle is about 50 km / h, such a feature is almost a customized means of transportation for the elderly, so the merchant also directly calls it "the old scooter".
Why "suitable for aging": Why is the low-speed electric vehicle very suitable for the elderly, first of all, it is a fully enclosed model, can cover the wind and rain, and can carry people, in comfort, practicality are relatively strong; secondly, it is not expensive, about 10,000 is acceptable to most of the elderly; and finally, the operation is not difficult, even if it does not pass the training, it can also be quickly started.
Class 2: Electric three-wheeled caravan
This is an innovative means of transportation derived from the electric tricycle, the early days are to add a canopy to the tricycle, so that it has a fully enclosed space, from the appearance, it is basically the difference between it and the four-wheel low-speed electric vehicle, that is, one less wheel, therefore, it is also one of the most favored means of transportation for the elderly.
Why "suitable for aging": electric three-wheeled caravans also have fully enclosed space, have the practicality of carrying people, and, in terms of price, only need five or six thousand yuan, which is more affordable than four-wheel low-speed electric vehicles, therefore, it is also one of the "ageing" means of transportation.
Category 3: Recreational electric tricycles
Electric tricycle has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to roll over, the safety is slightly worse, in addition, it needs a "D" class driver's license, full of 60 years old can not apply, reached 70 years old can not be used, therefore, in recent years there is a new derivative leisure electric tricycle, although there is no enclosed space, but it is slower, lower center of gravity, safety will be better, therefore, in recent years is also very popular with the elderly.
Why "suitable for aging": First of all, on the threshold, it needs an F driver's license, and the test and use of this type of driving license has no age limit, which is very "suitable for aging", in addition, its safety, speed is more important, it is suitable for the elderly, especially the elderly over 70 years old.
Category 4: E-bikes
This is the only non-motorized vehicle in the "electric" model, in addition to the wheelchair model, it is also the cheapest model in these 4 types of models, and it is also the most numerous model in the domestic "electric" model, and there are many elderly people who use this type of model to travel.
Why "suitable aging": A very important point is the threshold, electric bicycles are models with no threshold at all, no need for a driver's license to go on the road, and the price only needs to be within one or two thousand yuan, the cost of use is very low, but this kind of car connoisseurs feel more suitable for the elderly under 70 years old.
What do seniors need to pay attention to when choosing a mobility tool?
The above is the 4 types of elderly people's favorite scooters, in the end which is the most "suitable for aging", is different from person to person, everyone may have different ideas, but no matter which kind of means of transportation is suitable for themselves, when choosing, small connoisseurs should be reminded to pay attention to the following things;
1, the choice of model needs what driver's license, the current main means of travel for the elderly, are motor vehicles, then, it needs a driver's license, before choosing a vehicle, it is necessary to measure whether the driver's license it needs is difficult for itself, such as the D certificate of the tricycle, there is an upper limit of 60 years old, the age of the elderly, there is no need to choose.
2, pay attention to whether the vehicle meets the qualifications, although there is no qualification should not be sold, is logical, but the market situation still exists some vehicles that do not meet the qualifications, especially in the township rural market, some miscellaneous brands, small brand vehicles, more attention should be paid to.
3, there is no local "restriction management", the elderly favored electric tricycles, four-wheeled electric vehicles, are relatively large, slower models, driving in the city will occupy more road resources, therefore, there are some places for such cars to implement the area of restriction or prohibition, when choosing a vehicle, be sure to understand where the place is allowed to go on the road.
Summary: The above is the current mainstream of the elderly use several types of models, relatively speaking, are very simple to operate, the price is also a relatively civilian model, however, these models in the need for driving license, practical functions, driving conditions and other aspects of the still have a certain difference, and in the end which one will be more suitable for the elderly to use, is also a matter of wisdom and wisdom.
So, for four-wheeled micro-low-speed electric vehicles, electric three-wheeled caravans, recreational electric tricycles, and electric bicycles, which one do you think is the most "age-appropriate" means of transportation? Comments are welcome.
