After seven years of technology development and testing, Powered Mobility Inc. has implemented the PowerWheels™ conversion kit for manual wheelchairs. The PowerWheels™ conversion kit makes it possible to convert a manual wheelchair into a dual-mode, selectable powered or manually operated wheelchair by simply replacing the original wheels with the PowerWheels™ mobility wheels and its electronic control.

  • A unique and patented electric motor based transmission in the hub of each wheel
  • Advanced and easy to use selectable manual or powered mode of operation
  • Advanced Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based controller, with simple use indoor/outdoor modes (and adjustable operation for advanced users)
  • Very high efficiency of battery usage
  • Dramatically longer running time
