Description

Because it is such a compact, lightweight unit, the LightDrive can be transported almost anywhere, which gives you the independence to go where you want to go at your own pace – climb hills with no effort, coast across grass, sweep along gravel paths and uneven pavers – in short, most things pedestrians can do. The Light Drive is controlled with a joystick yet remains as manoeuvrable and as easy to use as a manual chair. By releasing the clutch you can free wheel giving you the freedom to choose when to use it. It’s simplicity means that journeys are much easier. The LightDrive is suitable for almost all wheelchairs from 36cm between wheels. It is attached to the back of a wheelchair with a battery pack. The controller mounts onto a bracket which attaches to the wheelchair. 2 motors drive the wheels with a removable anti tip foot to guarantee stability.
