Black power assist that attaches with a clamp to the axle bar of a fixed frame wheelchair. A Bluetooth wristband activates and deactivates the power assist function by tapping the wheel.
The SmartDrive hooks onto its own clamp, which is fixed to the axle bar of my TiLite wheelchair. It took me a while to master attaching and detaching it while sitting in my chair, but I am now able to self-propel on carpets, up inclines, or over anything.
The SmartDrive gives me the freedom to go almost anywhere, and I have used it to fundraise for the Brittle Bone Society (who funded this attachment and my TiLite wheelchair) by completing 50 sponsored walks of varying distances.
It is best used on smoother surfaces, but can just about handle dry grass and slightly stony paths. My SmartDrive has changed my life by giving me the freedom to enjoy many things I had to give up, including seemingly simple things, like meeting friends, shopping, enjoying the fresh air, and much more.
