Power Add Ons For Wheelchairs

Q: What is a wheelchair power add-on?

A wheelchair power add-on is a device that attaches to a manual wheelchair to provide electric-powered assistance. It helps reduce the physical effort needed to push the chair or self-propel, making it easier to travel longer distances, manage slopes, or navigate uneven surfaces. These add-ons offer a flexible alternative to a full powerchair.

Q: What types of power add-ons are available for wheelchairs?

There are several types of power add-ons, including rear-mounted power packs that assist carers when pushing, front-mounted drives that pull the chair forward, and systems that convert manual wheels into powered ones. Some are designed for user control via a joystick, while others are operated by an attendant.

Q: Can I fit a power add-on to any wheelchair?

Most power add-ons are compatible with a wide range of manual wheelchairs, but it’s important to check the product specifications. Factors like frame type, tubing diameter, and weight limits may affect compatibility. Some models are designed specifically for folding or rigid-frame chairs.

Q: Who can benefit from a wheelchair power add-on?

Power add-ons are ideal for manual wheelchair users who want more freedom and reduced strain, especially when tackling hills, long distances, or uneven ground. They are also helpful for carers who push a wheelchair regularly and need extra assistance. Users who don’t want to switch to a full powerchair often find add-ons a practical middle ground.

Q: Are power add-ons easy to install and remove?

Yes, most power add-ons are designed to be quick to attach and remove, allowing the user to switch between manual and powered use as needed. Many models are lightweight and compact, making them easy to transport or store when not in use.

Power add-ons are innovative devices that attach to a manual wheelchair to provide electric-powered assistance, reducing the effort needed to move or push. These accessories are perfect for users who want to keep the comfort and familiarity of their existing wheelchair but need a boost for longer distances, hills, or uneven terrain. Options include powered front drives, rear push assist units, and clip-on power packs, many of which are lightweight, removable, and easy to control. Power add-ons are ideal for increasing independence, reducing strain on carers, and extending the practicality of manual wheelchairs in daily life.
