It is an auxiliary power assist system that is designed to be mounted to most manual wheelchairs, quickly and easily.
When coupling the MOTOTRONIK device to the wheelchair, the small wheels at the front rise off the ground and a single wheel, in the "traction unit", is used for steering.
MOTOTRONIK devices are classified for use with wheelchairs to which they are coupled pursuant to UNI EN 12184.
MOTOTRONIK devices are also compliant with the requirements of class B with a maximum range of about 50 km (for the version with a charged 11.6 Ah battery, on a flat course and a user weighing 75 kg).
In accordance with the definition of class B of UNI EN 12184, the device is for indoor use and can handle outdoor obstacles.
Any other use or misuse could result in hazardous situations.
Environment of use
MOTOTRONIK series devices are made for use coupled to a manual wheelchair and can be coupled to most manual wheelchairs available on the market. MOTOTRONIK solutions can be used both indoors and
outdoors, with the limits stated in this document, and in general with the same limitations set for the use of the manual wheelchair.

DEVICE LIFETIME
MOTOTRONIK devices are designed to be used on a daily basis, and consequently, they undergo continuous stress that results in the inevitable wear of the parts.
Under normal daily use, the MOTOTRONIK has a lifetime of 5 years OR 25,000 km, whichever is the earlier, provided it receives careful maintenance at the correct intervals.
The lifetime will considerably increase if the wheelchair is used only indoors or not on a daily basis.
