Why We Like It

The scooter is powered by a 350W brushless DC motor and a 36V, 2A input, which can be charged in as little as 3 hours. It also has 2 LED headlights, for improved visibility and safety while riding at night.

There are five points to consider in order to determine whether your wheelchair is compatible with our wheelchair attachments:

1) Seat width: must be between 14 to 22 in -or- 35.5 to 55.8 cm (measured end-to-end on the width of your seat cushion).

2) Tube diameters: currently supported tubing diameters are: (printable tubing ruler on next page).

• 7/8 in -or- 22.2 mm

• 1 in -or- 25.4 mm

• 1.125 in -or- 28.6 mm

• 1.2 in -or- 30.5 mm

• 1.25 in -or- 31.8 mm

If your tubing is a different shape or diameter contact [email protected]

3) Tube clearance: to attach the clamps, 1.25 in -or- 32 mm clearance is required. Diagrams with examples of tube clearances are given in the following pages.

4) Tube angle: ideally the tubes should be vertical or close to vertical. However, installation is possible with tubes that taper inwards with slight angles, the larger the taper angle the more challenging it is to use our “Quick Release Coupler” attachment. 

5) Footrests on folding chairs: removable footrests can pose challenges for our clamp installation, so please consult below where examples of wheelchair designs with removable footrests are given. Never mount our clamps directly onto removable footrests as they were not designed to take such riding forces.
