Are you after more power from your wheelchair? The Light Drive is a motor that attaches to the rear of most manual wheelchairs and is activated using a joystick to send power to the rear wheels.
The joystick controller can be setup for user or companion operation.
When power assistance is applied, the wheelchair travels effortlessly forwards or backwards along many terrains of differing inclines. This is all done while maintaining the maneuverability of your wheelchair.
With the Light Drive there is no need to switch to a power-chair! It is compact to travel with whether you’re driving, cruising or flying. The Light Drive wheelchair power assist is approved to go with you anywhere around the world!
