Product Description
Lightweight and smartly designed, the E-Motions feature both motors and lithium ion batteries built into each wheel. Weighing just 7.8 kg each, they can be fitted to most wheelchairs – including less “active” ones such as Invacare’s Action range. All that is required is the addition of a small, discreet bracket on each side – and it is even possible to have a retrofit stub axle that lets you switch between your existing manual wheels. Quick-release axles ensure the E-Motions keep your wheelchair transportable, popping off to fit into the back of a car alongside your wheelchair.
Performance
A long range of at least 15.5 miles (Alber stopped testing at that point, and there was still battery left!) ensures your E-Motions will go the distance, and the standard speed is a brisk walking pace of 4 mph. They have the torque to master slopes with ease, and can get you over obstacles such as kerbs and thresholds too. The weight capacity is 150 kg, with a further 40 kg capacity for your wheelchair – more than enough to comfortably cover you and your chair. An automatic battery charger will fill up both batteries simultaneously, taking just six hours to reach full charge.
Mobility App
Integrated bluetooth modules in the wheels allow them to connect with the optional remote control, which lets you switch between two speed functions, and also turn on rollback delay for assistance up hills. However, most people will opt for the free smartphone Mobility App, available for iOS and Android, with even more driving profiles, information on your E-Motions such as speed, mileage and charge level, plus the option for recording and saving tours via GPS. The app also includes your flight safety certificates, and has an auto-battery discharge function to help you fly safely and conveniently. The Mobility Plus Package is an optional upgrade to the app, and one we highly recommend. Amongst the many features it unlocks are the following highlights:
- Speed – increase your max speed to 5.3 mph to zip along even faster.
- Remote – control your unoccupied wheelchair via your smartphone for parking (or just showing off!).
- Cruise – ideal for longer rides, it can maintain your speed without further pushes.
- EasyNavi – navigate with wheelchair accessible routes.
