What is a Wheelchair Powered Add-On?

A powered wheelchair add-on (also known as a power assist device) is a motorised system that works alongside your manual wheelchair, providing additional powered assistance while allowing you to continue using the wheelchair you're already comfortable with.

Instead of replacing your manual wheelchair, these systems enhance it by making everyday journeys easier and reducing the physical effort required to travel.

Power assist devices are ideal for users who want greater independence without moving to a full powered wheelchair.

Benefits of a Power Assist Device

A powered wheelchair add-on offers many advantages, including:

• Reduces the effort required to self-propel
• Helps minimise shoulder and arm fatigue
• Makes hills and ramps easier to negotiate
• Increases everyday independence
• Supports longer journeys with greater comfort
• Maintains the familiar feel of your manual wheelchair
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Can improve confidence when travelling longer distances

Our mobility specialists will explain the benefits of each system and help you choose the option that best suits your lifestyle.
