The Verdict

Lightweight power add-on for a manual wheelchair, extra power version for plus-size users.

I absolutely love this power add-on – it’s a complete game changer for an ambulatory wheelchair user with severe fatigue who can’t self-propel. I love how easy it is to attach and detach from the wheelchair, it’s very straightforward to use, and the joystick is incredibly responsive.

When paired with the Rehasense trackwheel, there’s basically no terrain my chair can’t handle! The only downside is having to clean the Benoit after each use, and the minor flaw in the design of digging mud out of the gaps between the rollers and the wheels. For such an expensive bit of kit, you’d think it would be easier to clean!

Pushing the chair manually when the Benoit isn’t turned on is very difficult because it swings back and forth, and rocks the chair. However, removing it away from the car or house would be difficult as it is large and hard to store on the go. The Benoit also still requires the all-terrain attachment to go on grass and some gravel with my wheelchair.
