The Alber e-motion: Power Assist for wheeelchairs

Push More Easily - Only minimal force is required to self-propel
Simply exchange your wheels for e-motion drive wheels and off you go!. Even wheelchair users with impaired strength can move around independently with the help of e-motion.

e-motion fits most modern wheelchairs - the chair's original wheels can simply be exchanged In virtually every case, your existing, individually adjusted wheelchair can continue to be used. It takes just a few small brackets to fix the drive wheels to the frame of the chair. As a rule, the manually operated wheels can still be used as an alternative to the e-motion wheels. The desired method of motive power - manual or electrically assisted - is always available.

Questions you might ask....

Will it fit into a car?
It is very simple to transport. The e-motion wheels and their integrated batteries can be detached from the wheelchair and stowed away in the boot of a car in a matter of seconds. Alternatively, any folding wheelchair can still be folded even with e-motion attached, thus saving space.

Can e-motion be fitted to my wheelchair?
e-motion can be fitted to almost all modern wheelchair models. A bracket is mounted on the wheelchair frame to accept the e-motion wheels. The manual wheelchair wheels can still be used.

Which e-motion versions are available?
Wheel sizes: 22" or 24"

How far can I travel on a single battery charge? .
A battery charge can be sufficient for a distance of approximately 25 km under favourable conditions, The drive engineering employed in e-motion means that the achievable range depends very heavily on how it is used. Indoor movement involving continuous use of motor power for starting, steering and braking reduces the range considerably more than consistent movement outdoors

How fast is e-motion?
e-motion does not have a definite maximum speed level. The speed achieved depends on the strength of the propelling movement, as is the case with manual wheelchairs. e-motion assists the propelling movement up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph).

How heavy may a person using e-motion be?
e-motion is designed for a maximum person weight of 130 kg/ 20st regardless of the type of wheelchair used.

How much does e-motion weigh?
2 wheels (24lb/11 kg each)
