3 Product description
The power assist is a unique product giving
manual wheelchair users additional power
assistance, by just using one of the rims on the
power assist wheels. The large Assist rim can
be used as a conventional wheelchair push
rim to manually propel the wheel. In case the
power assist is switched on, the motor of the
power assist will give power assistance while
driving. The amount of support that is provided
is dependent on the selected profile and the
force applied to the rim. The smaller Drive rim
provides continuous support and can be used to
move forwards or backwards – in this case no
manual propulsion is required. The power assist
is very intuitive to use, but some practise and
training is required for safe usage.
