Manual Wheelchair with Rigid Frame
Active Wheelchair with Power Assist
Empulse R90
The high-performance electric motor of the Empulse R90 power assist extends a wheelchair user’s range by providing additional propulsion on inclines or when managing longer distances. It is attached centrally between the back wheels, allowing the overall dimensions of the wheelchair to remain compact. The ergonomic handle, light transport weight and auto-closing docking mechanism make the motor easy to attach. The design language creates an aesthetically attractive unit that discreetly and seamlessly integrates with the user’s wheelchair.
Statement by the Jury
The Empulse R90 power assist unit combines coherently with the wheelchair, while also being very easy to handle.
