老年車，又叫(jiao)老年電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)動車、老年代(dai)步車、老年助力車，是老年人戶外出行(xing)代(dai)步的(de)(de)理想車輛。其性(xing)能(neng)(neng)相對穩定，車速較慢，運用電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)力無(wu)需加(jia)油，故(gu)又稱環保老年車，老年電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)動車所使用的(de)(de)能(neng)(neng)源有很(hen)多，主要有鉛(qian)酸電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)（含鉛(qian)酸膠體電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)）、鎳(nie)氫電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)、鎳(nie)鎘電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)、鎳(nie)鐵電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)、鋰(li)離子(zi)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)（常稱之為鋰(li)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)）、燃料電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)等。電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)(chi)(chi)按電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)化(hua)學方式直接(jie)將化(hua)學能(neng)(neng)轉化(hua)為電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能(neng)(neng)。它不經(jing)過(guo)熱機過(guo)程，因此不受卡諾循環的(de)(de)限制，能(neng)(neng)量轉化(hua)效率高(gao)（40－60%）；幾乎不產生NOx和SOx的(de)(de)排放。

當(dang)前(qian)市面(mian)上出現了(le)各種(zhong)掛羊(yang)頭賣狗肉的所(suo)謂的“老(lao)年(nian)代(dai)步車”，不僅混淆了(le)老(lao)年(nian)朋友的視聽，更是給駕車的老(lao)人(ren)、殘(can)疾人(ren)帶來(lai)極大的安全隱(yin)患，各地政府都在(zai)相繼(ji)出臺(tai)相關政策(ce)法(fa)規，禁止這些(xie)“老(lao)年(nian)代(dai)步車”上路行駛。

嚴格意義上的(de)(de)，真正(zheng)的(de)(de)老年電(dian)(dian)動代步車(che)(che)產(chan)(chan)品應(ying)該是從原(yuan)(yuan)先的(de)(de)歸屬于醫療器(qi)械類的(de)(de)電(dian)(dian)動輪椅(yi)車(che)(che)演變而(er)來，產(chan)(chan)品的(de)(de)設計(ji)更適(shi)合(he)老年人、殘(can)疾(ji)人的(de)(de)駕駛(shi)習慣。而(er)且適(shi)用(yong)人群從原(yuan)(yuan)先電(dian)(dian)動輪椅(yi)車(che)(che)的(de)(de)殘(can)疾(ji)人群擴展到了廣大(da)腿(tui)腳(jiao)不便的(de)(de)老年人。產(chan)(chan)品的(de)(de)設計(ji)生產(chan)(chan)均(jun)參照(zhao)國(guo)(guo)家電(dian)(dian)動自行(xing)車(che)(che)的(de)(de)國(guo)(guo)家標(biao)準及電(dian)(dian)動輪椅(yi)車(che)(che)的(de)(de)國(guo)(guo)家標(biao)準，在某些參數指標(biao)方面甚至更嚴格于以上的(de)(de)2個國(guo)(guo)家標(biao)準，車(che)(che)速設計(ji)在10公里(li)/小時之(zhi)內(nei)，整車(che)(che)底盤高度在8cm，剎(cha)車(che)(che)制動距離在0.5米之(zhi)內(nei)，從各個方面均(jun)優于原(yuan)(yuan)先的(de)(de)電(dian)(dian)動輪椅(yi)車(che)(che)，是電(dian)(dian)動輪椅(yi)車(che)(che)的(de)(de)演化(hua)升(sheng)級(ji)車(che)(che)型，能夠符合(he)廣大(da)老年朋友的(de)(de)出行(xing)代步的(de)(de)需求，同時提供更全面的(de)(de)安全保障。
