Wheelchairs

The Light Drive can be used by nearly all wheelchair users. It turns your manual wheelchair into an ultra-light, high-performance electric wheelchair in a matter of seconds.

The Light Drive is controlled with a joystick and 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.

Installed in about 20 seconds, the speed is controlled with a twisting accelerator handle mounted on one of the rear handles. Safety is improved as the Light Assist holds the chair back when going downhill.

Features Instant installation in 15 seconds Light and easily transportable Can be fitted on almost any wheelchair starting with 32cm seat width. (Contact us for more complex wheelchairs) Can be transported by plane (12 Ah lithium battery) Removable Discreet and unobtrusive design Colour of your choice Tackles almost any terrain Indoors/outdoors

The NEW SmartDrive MX2 +  now with the PushTracker wristband makes the already award-winning wheelchair power assist even better—it will truly change your life. It can power you up steep hills and through thick carpet. It's intuitive to use and will go for miles on a single charge. Turn on, get out there and rediscover your independence!

Why should you have to wear gloves or endure the cold and slippery feel of a bare metal handrim? Why accept repetitive stress injuries to your hands? Your wheelchair should be easy to manoeuvre in all situations: handrims should provide a comfortable, effective hold at all times. Why settle for a standard, anonymous style? Your wheelchair should reflect who you are as a person. Find your place, make an impression, and assert your style.

When it comes to overall energy efficiency and comfort, every detail counts — especially where the rubber hits the road. This is why we engineered the Newton Ultracaster for reduced rolling resistance, giving you greater speed, comfort and mobility. Plus, it’s a Newton component, which means sleek design and flawless functionality. Newton Ultracasters. Available in durable and lightweight composite or aluminum.

Only Newton could pack so much convenience and functionality into such an ingenious device. The remarkable Newton Grade Aid Wheelock not only gives you wheelock, freewheel and grade aid functions in a single unit. It’s also an incredible 30% lighter compared to industry standard grade aids.

With repeated use, standard wheel locks will eventually loosen and fail. Not ours. Newton Wheel Locks feature an ingenious spring mechanism that’s significantly more durable and functional than a standard wheel lock. Plus, they’re engineered from composite materials, so you save 1.3 oz compared to their aluminum counterparts.

Because they’re Newton components, they offer awesome aesthetics. Newton Wheel Locks. The lighter, more secure, more durable solution.

Conventional grips will only get you so far. Standard plastic coating adds weight and heats up easily with friction. And if the coating cracks and peels, it can injure hands. Plus, conventional grips…all look the same!

Enter the Newton Airgrip. Our coating is engineered to reduce overall weight by a remarkable 1 lb. It won’t peel or crack, so it’s safer. And our coating will reduce hand-burning heat as you stop or slow down. Best of all, Newton Airgrips are available in a range of eye-popping colors. Plus standard black, of course. Newton Airgrips. Lighten up!

Newton has been making aluminum angle adjustable footplates for some years. Now we’re upping the ante with a composite footplate engineered to be even lighter than our best-selling model.

We added rubber inserts for greater safety and traction and a new look for a refreshed appearance. Newton Composite Footplates. Step up to higher performance componentry.

In today‘s world, one thing matters more than anything: mobility. That‘s why we need a mode of transport that is adapted to our dynamic lifestyles: efficient, smart and fun to drive. Innovative drive technology from Alber delivers the efficient and flexible solution for future mobility.

 

The e-motion combines active mobility with therapeutic benefit. Even wheelchair drivers with limited arm and body strength can gain back their mobility with e-motion. The electric motors that are integrated in the wheel hubs effectively support the wheelchair user which has to put in much less effort to travel greater distances or slopes.

Mastering everyday life often requires considerably more physical effort for wheelchair drivers. This effort sometimes becomes almost unsustainable with progressing age or illness. The electric e-motion add-on drive is the ideal solution to master this challenge: Every pulse on the push rim is registered by a highly sensitive sensor and translated into the perfect amount of electric power assistance. As a result propelling a manual wheelchair becomes much easier
