Benefits at a glance
Front-wheel and mid-wheel drive

Sprung interior and exterior drivers as front-wheel or mid-wheel drive, for daily use, suitable for users weighing up to 160 kg. Sealed, maintenance-free gel batteries, with up to 12A chargers for quick recharging after each use.

APS Seating-System

The APS seating system provides a basic configuration with electric backrest and knee angle adjustments as a foundation to enable clinical care. By adding features such as seat tilt or seat elevation modules, even higher-quality care options are made available. Thanks to pre-set memory functions such as Active Access, Active Relax, and Active Touch, factory-configured product variants can even be generated.

ICON Control System

The B7 is equipped with the intuitive and intelligent ICON control system. An interactive display and individually programmable keyboard layout assist the user to reach the desired seating position with the touch of a button. Controlling the wheelchair is now easier than ever and even challenging driving maneuvers can be performed safely. The control device features a convenient USB-C port for charging mobile devices. The control housing is available in the desired color.

Active Access

The seat base is tilted forward by a maximum of 15°, making it easier to get in or out of the wheelchair. For safety and support during transfers via the lowered footplates, adjustable grip handles are optionally available.

Active Touch

The anterior seat inclination of 20°, 25°, or up to 30° provides the user an active seating position. This allows an anterior pelvic position, positioning the user in a partial weight-bearing stance. There are many benefits to anterior tilt in terms of functionality, as well as other benefits. In combination with the electrically adjustable seat height, the function offers optimal access to medium working heights. Additionally, the user may also experience improvements of their upper extremity for all day activities.

Active Relax

The flat surface offers the benefits of stretching the body and extend ligaments like in an upright position, but without bearing the full body weight. This promotes blood circulation, breathing and digestion, but protects possible vulnerable bones and joints.

User Experience

Tobias on the go in the B7.

Tobias lives by the Baltic Sea and has shown others that a power wheelchair isn’t an obstacle for living a fulfilling life. His sense of order and structure gives him plenty of space for moving around home, and he also lovingly breeds canaries in his large garden. Thanks to the B7 FWD (front-wheel drive) with the “Advanced Power Seat” system, he can be mobile in day-to-day life without requiring an additional wheelchair or transfers during the day. The intelligent APS seating system can be individually adapted and offers comfort and support in every situation. The smart memory function, changing and adapting seating positions at any time is possible, at the touch of a button.

Tobias says, “The B7 gives me more freedom and spontaneity.”

Elisa embraces an active lifestyle.

Elisa lives in Berlin, pursues her studies in sports psychology with great enthusiasm, and leads an active life despite her spinal cord injury, which she suffered after a sports accident. She is an inspiring individual who encourages others in similar situations. Elisa uses a B7 electric wheelchair with mid-wheel drive and the "Advanced Power Seat" system, which not only provides her with comfortable seating but also the ability for independent positioning. She particularly values the "Active Touch" position, allowing her to sit actively, as well as the "Active Relax" position, which relieves her joints. Elisa is an impressive example of strength and independence.
