What You Need To Do With This Power Assisted Self Propelled Wheelchair
Power Assist Add-Ons For Wheelchairs
Power assist add-ons enable wheelchair users to travel for longer distances and on challenging terrain. They also reduce the amount of effort required to propel the wheelchair, which results in lower heart rates and less muscle fatigue.
The great thing about these chairs is that they don't alter the look of a traditional chair and they are easily transported. They are also simple to use.
WheelDrive
Front wheel drive electric wheelchairs offer the highest level of stability and power. The large drive wheels can "grab" the road and let the chair take on difficult terrains such as gravel, grass or steps. This design is ideal if you have to maneuver your wheelchair in tight areas. You can make quick turns using the front drive.
When you are choosing a wheelchair, your therapist or Assistant Technology Professional (ATP) will take into consideration which base and components meet your requirements. A power assist auxiliary add-on is also something to consider. There are many options for power assist, including front-wheel, mid-wheel, and rear-wheel power add-ons.
The new and refreshed WheelDrive add-on offered by Sunrise Medical features a dual rim design that offers different driving modes. The large 'assist wheel' gives you additional power with each push. This helps reduce fatigue and allows you to get further ahead with each push. The smaller rim for driving gives you continuous power, making climbing more comfortable. The WheelDrive is simple to install on almost every manual wheelchair, without the need for additional parts or modifications and can be switched between two driving modes with an intuitive power button.
The power assistance is provided by the hub motor, which is a brushless design. It is powered by detachable light batteries and can be fully charged in less than two hours. Its compact design and easy operation make it an ideal solution for those who require an extra boost when traveling longer distances. The WheelDrive doesn't require any maintenance unlike other battery-powered power assist add-ons which can be quite difficult to maintain in good working order.

Attachments to the rear are, however, are joystick conversion devices such as the Alber E-Motion and SmartDrive.
Some of these wheelchair accessories utilize rechargeable batteries and others, like the WheelDrive are connected to the wheelchair motor and powered by the energy generated by wheel rotation. Those that are powered by a battery are typically lighter and compact than those that are powered by the kinetic energy generated by the wheel's rotation.
