AMP Handrim Power Assist

Description

Overview

The Method Mobility AMP Power Assist is an innovative add-on mobility solution that transforms a standard manual wheelchair into a power-assisted chair without permanently modifying the wheelchair or adding motors directly to its frame. Designed to effortlessly dock under your existing chair, AMP simply rolls into place and clicks securely into position, providing intuitive power boost when you need it most, and easily rolls off when you don’t. This means users can retain the lightweight profile of their manual chair while adding power assist only when needed, reducing fatigue and expanding mobility possibilities.

What Makes It Different

Its tool-free integration and user-friendly operation allows wheelchair users to dock and undock the unit while seated, seamlessly transitioning between powered and manual modes. The system supports easy natural navigation using existing handrims, with additional controls via Bluetooth remote or optional joystick input for tailored control preferences. Its compact frame, equipped with 8″ poly drive wheels and anti-tip wheels, offers stable performance across ADA-compliant terrains and fits most rigid or folding wheelchairs with wheel sizes from 22″ to 26″ Powered by a long-lasting LiFePO4 battery, AMP can travel up to 11 miles on a single charge at speeds up to 4 mph, and the battery is easily swappable for extended range.

Why We Like It

We like the Method Mobility AMP Power Assist for its truly distinctive combination of versatility, portability, and simplicity. Users don’t have to sacrifice their familiar wheelchair setup or deal with complex installation; instead, they enjoy a smooth and responsive power assist that enhances independence without compromising the chair’s original form.

NOTE: Choose AMP size based on chair type, along with camber, which determines the AMP size recommended. Each size is adjustable in width, but limited based on camber or overall wheel base width
