Description
WheelDrive is a new generation of auxiliary drive for users of a manual wheelchair that can use extra support. Power Assist Technology® relieves the strain on the user. What is unique is that both wheels are equipped with two hoops. The large hoop offers extra engine support, which requires less exertion. The small hoop offers continuous support as long as it is being pushed forward, making the wheelchair self-propelled.
