What is a Wheelchair Powered Add-On?
A powered wheelchair add-on, also known as a power assist device, is a motorised system that attaches to or integrates with a compatible manual wheelchair.
Rather than replacing your wheelchair, these innovative systems provide additional powered assistance, helping you travel further with less physical effort while maintaining the familiar feel of your manual chair.
Depending on the system you choose, powered add-ons can improve traction, reduce upper body strain and make everyday mobility more enjoyable on a variety of surfaces.
At NPM Mobility Aids, we offer several types of power assist solutions to suit different mobility needs and wheelchair configurations.
Front-mounted systems attach to the front of your wheelchair, lifting the castor wheels from the ground to create a stable three-wheel configuration.
They're ideal for:
- Outdoor adventures
- Longer journeys
- Uneven paths
- Parks and countryside trails
- Reducing effort over varied terrain
Popular models include:
Rear-mounted systems provide intelligent motor assistance while maintaining the natural handling of your manual wheelchair.
Ideal for:
- Everyday mobility
- Shopping
- Work and commuting
- Reducing pushing effort
- Longer distances
Popular models include:
Wheel-mounted systems replace the standard rear wheels of your wheelchair with powered wheels that provide assistance whenever you push.
These systems are ideal for users who want:
- Smooth and responsive assistance
- A discreet appearance
- Lightweight performance
- Everyday independence
