Introduction

Enhance Life. Demand Quality.

With front-wheel, mid-wheel and rear-wheel drive, you have the option to choose between the specific driving characteristics and motor powers of three drive types in two frame widths.

A high degree of flexibility is assured by the new VAS (variably adjustable seat) frame solution with Ergo-Joint back support angle adjustment as well as innovative special and environmental controls, among other features.

Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)

Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)

The rear-wheel drive sets the standard for power wheelchairs due to its versatility. In addition to offering numerous variations in terms of speed and features, the design also permits optimal distribution of forces on various driving surfaces. Thanks to its directional stability, the B5 and B6 with rear-wheel drive is a great choice if you want mobility indoors and also plan to go on regular outdoor excursions.

Why rear-wheel drive?

  • Excellent directional stability, even at higher speeds

  • Flexible centre of gravity distribution

  • Good drive wheel traction when driving up and down slopes

  • Ideal for indoor and outdoor use

  • Easily navigate curbs

  • User comfort with postural stability

Mid Wheel Drive (MWD)

Mid Wheel Drive (MWD)

The all-rounder among the drive types. The mid-wheel drive offers incomparable driving characteristics for all fields of application. The tight turning radius is suitable for indoor use while also providing added stability and safety outdoors. The single-wheel suspension and torsion drive system form the basis for this intuitive drive type and thanks to the direct pivot point, safe handling is possible even with more complex forms of input.

Why mid-wheel drive?

  • Intuitive movement and driving thanks to central pivot point

  • Maximum stability against tipping and it is easy to navigate curbs

  • Optimum weight distribution

  • Ideal for indoor and outdoor use

  • User comfort with postural stability

Front Wheel Drive (FWD)

Front Wheel Drive (FWD)

This drive type isn't just compact but also means you can easily overcome obstacles such as curbs thanks to its large drive wheels. With its relatively small turning radius and the ability to drive close to objects (such as furniture), the front-wheel drive is manoeuvrable making it ideal for indoor use.

Why front wheel drive?

  • Compact design with very small turning radius

  • Drives up close to objects

  • Good overview in front of the wheelchair

  • Ideal for indoor and outdoor use and easily navigates curbs

  • User comfort with good leg positioning

  • Postural stability

Contour Package

Our collaboration with physiotherapists and occupational therapists has resulted in an optimally shaped seat which is available in a wide range of sizes and contours. The front seat base is formed by the anatomically shaped seat surface, which offers a high level of lateral stability. Moulded to the shape of the thigh, the cushion helps relieve the hip joints. An integrated “ramp” also aids the optimal positioning of the pelvis. Together with the back support pad, it helps to actively straighten the pelvis. Both components of the contour package can be combined with the standard and VAS seating solutions.
