Drive Medical Lightweight Power Assist

Practical and lightweight powered assistance for manual wheelchairs.

The Drive Medical Lightweight Power Assist transforms most manual wheelchairs into powered options controlled by a carer. It helps reduce effort over ramps, inclines and long distances.

The Drive Medical Lightweight Power Assist is a practical mobility enhancement that supports carers by reducing the strain of pushing manual wheelchairs. Compatible with most standard wheelchair frames up to 20” wide, it attaches via a user-friendly one-click docking station and detaches just as quickly.

Control is intuitive, with a fingertip trigger handset, variable speed dial and direction switch. The Power Assist includes dual drive wheels with non-marking 8” tyres for improved traction, and it remains highly portable due to its lightweight frame.

Designed for straightforward daily use, it accommodates a maximum user weight of 115 kg and offers a driving range of up to 16 km per charge. The battery can be removed via a simple push-and-slide mechanism for easy off-board charging.

Who it’s for

• For clients who need a powered attendee accessory with manual wheelchairs.
• For therapists wanting a lightweight, travel-friendly push assist for a wide range of users.
