I am super impressed with this unit.
It seems well designed for the most part and works very well. We have used it quite a few times and across many different terrains. We installed it on “Elite Care Voyager All Terrain Outdoor Folding Self Propel Wheelchair” although it is worth noting it would need removed if we wanted to fold the chair.
There are a couple of feed back points for the maker though.
1. I would be very interested in a unit that has a Lithium (LiFePo4) battery to try and reduce weight of the battery. The Lead acid battery might be heavy for some older users. It would also probably increase range although I have not experienced the limit of range yet. It would also potentially allow the battery to to be relocated into a storage pouch at the back of the chair as opposed to on the unit itself (which would probably allow it to be installed on more chairs) – although I understand the weight of the battery is used to increase traction for the motor.
2. The brackets that fit on to the chair itself can move even when tightened. I will probably add a threaded bar to mine that will run through the centre of the pole and fix everything tightly together.
Overall it is a great unit and we love it. The points above are minor at best and won’t matter to everyone – just my own observations
its has a forward and back switch so lovely and simple too.
Removing the powered wheel can be done and without tools as you have to do this to fold up your chair, We have a wheelchair adapted car so it isn’t an issue for us. You can lift the powered wheel clear of the floor using the coloured strap they supply and that works well, its just a decent weight so if the ‘carer’ has limited lifting capability, bear this in mind.
All in all, I’m very pleased with the uni
A word of warning this thing is heavy when both the battery and the motor are together. But that shows this is a quality product and I can’t wait to take it out again.
