Power Assist

The Empulse R20 from Sunrise Medical is a lightweight power pack that takes the strain out of pushing a manual wheelchair. Unlike most power packs, it can stay attached when the wheelchair is folded, so there's no need to remove it every time you put the chair in the car.

The helper simply presses a button on the handle-mounted control to start, and the display shows speed and battery level at a glance. Three speed settings up to 5km/h let you walk at a comfortable pace, and it will tackle slopes of up to 10° and small kerbs. The removable lithium-ion battery gives a range of up to 15km on a single charge.
