Pihsiang Machinery is the top graded listed biomedical company in Taiwan. The company recently announced that it has marketed more than 800, 000 "SHOPRIDER" brand electric scooters and power chairs all over the world.
Founder and chief executive Donald Wu was the first to make attractive, low cost three and four wheel scooters for the disabled and those simply having a problem getting about. At a time when vehicles for the disabled were called electric wheelchairs and looked us ugly as the name, his attractive vehicles, most of which could be dismantled to go in a car boot (trunk) became an impulse buy.
With the independent R&D innovation and the spirit of pursuing best quality, "SHOPRIDER" has become the world No. 1 brand for its kind. Pihsiang had been voted for eight consecutive years by British Healthcare Trade Association (BHTA) for the best production quality and assurance. Pihsiang's technical experience and its innovative capability have made it the global leader in the design of the power chair and scooter.
With its continual research and improvement, Pihsiang has provided senior and disables people safe, comfortable and stable mean of transportation. Wu is now involved in microcars and the manufacture of their lithium iron traction batteries. The batteries of mobility aids for the disabled are lead acid.
