Rear Mounted Powered Assist Devices


Rear Mounted Power Assist Devices for Greater Independence

At NPM Mobility Aids, we offer a carefully selected range of rear mounted powered wheelchair add-ons designed to make everyday mobility easier while allowing you to continue using your existing manual wheelchair. Rear-mounted power assist systems provide intelligent motorised assistance, helping reduce the effort required to self-propel and making longer journeys more comfortable.

Whether you're commuting, shopping, travelling or simply looking to reduce fatigue, a rear-mounted power assist device can provide extra support while preserving the familiar handling of your manual wheelchair.

Sleek, Smart, and Discreet Rear Propulsion Support

The Sunrise Medical Empulse R90 is an innovative, ultra-lightweight rear-mounted power pack designed to give you extra drive exactly when you need it. Sitting inconspicuously completely underneath your seat, the R90 provides efficient electric motor support without altering your manual wheelchair’s footprint, tracking, or tight indoor turning circle. Driven by a wireless Bluetooth control box and built-in slope detection software, it reduces upper-body fatigue on long trips, town pavements, and steep outdoor ramps.🌟 Key Performance Features

  • Discreet V-Lock Docking: The compact motor unit connects to your chair frame in seconds using a patented V-lock system that leaves folding frames fully collapsible when detached.
  • Wireless Push-Button Control: Operate the device seamlessly via a Bluetooth controller mounted anywhere on your frame. Simply hit the plus (+) button to accelerate, cruise, or raise the power wheel completely off the ground for zero rolling resistance.
  • Intelligent Slope Detection: Built-in smart sensors automatically calculate inclines, adjusting motor power delivery dynamically to keep you cruising safely at a steady speed on steep hills.
  • Flight-Compliant Design: The quick-release lithium-ion battery system is fully IATA airline-safe, making it the perfect travel companion for domestic and international flights.
  • Sunrise Intelligence App: Fine-tune your driving profiles, check real-time battery voltage, track distances, and customize speed limits via your smartphone.
