Add-ons that offer power assist for wheelchair users allow them to move further and traverse more difficult terrain. They also reduce the amount of effort needed for propulsion, resulting in lower heart rates and less muscle fatigue.

The best thing about these chairs is that they don't alter the style of a manual chair and they are easily transported. They are also easy to use.

This configuration is great if you have to maneuver your wheelchair through tight spaces. You can easily turn sharply with the front drive.

Its small size and easy to use makes it the ideal solution for those who need a little extra help to travel long distances.
