Empulse F55 power add-on with 8.5 inch drive wheel

When Agility Matters More Than a Large Front Wheel

Narrow store aisles, elevators, hallways, or crowded paths have different requirements than a forest trail. This is exactly where the 8.5-inch version of the Empulse F55 comes in handy: The compact drive wheel keeps the turning circle small and transforms a suitable manual wheelchair into an electrically assisted towing combination in just a few steps.

More Range, Without Permanently Modifying the Wheelchair

The F55 is attached to the wheelchair via a docking system and can be removed again when electric assistance is not needed. Sunrise Medical states a range of up to 25 km for the F55. The standard speed is 6 km/h; higher speeds are possible depending on the version.

• 8.5-inch solid rubber wheel: designed for a compact packed size and high maneuverability.
• Electric assistance: longer everyday journeys can be made without solely propelling the wheelchair via the handrims.
• Detachable concept: the manual wheelchair remains a standalone aid.
• Suitable for many frames: compatibility depends on frame shape, tube diameter, and mounting height, among other things.

Particularly Suitable for Urban Everyday Life

Those who frequently travel between home, work, shopping, and public spaces benefit more from the compact design than from maximum off-road capability. The 8.5-inch version is therefore the F55 variant for people who want as little additional space in front of the wheelchair as possible and agile steering.

Before provision, it must be checked whether the wheelchair frame, seating geometry, and mounting position are compatible with the F55.
