At Steering Developments Ltd, we have been delivering life-enhancing products and vehicles for over four decades, with 20 of those years dedicated to manufacturing powered wheels. Our SD Motion range, which began in 1999, has transformed the mobility sector by enabling users to convert their manual wheelchairs into powered chairs. This innovation has since gained global recognition, appearing on TV soaps and even at the Paralympics.

Our SD Motion range includes three key products designed to enhance the independence and mobility of wheelchair users:

SD Motion Drive:

This joystick-controlled power system converts a manual wheelchair into a powered version. The lightweight, compact design is compatible with a wide range of manual chairs, offering five speed levels and adjustable driving modes. The system also includes an optional attendant controller for carers, allowing them to control the wheelchair if necessary. Users can easily switch between powered and manual modes. With a long-distance range of 18 miles on a Li-Ion battery, the SD Motion Drive enables maximum freedom.

SD Motion Assist:

The SD Motion Assist adds electric propulsion to manual wheelchairs, making it easier to navigate inclines and travel longer distances. The system is designed to complement the user’s strength, providing a threefold increase in power with every push of the wheels. The two-speed system can be added to both folding and fixed-frame wheelchairs with 24-inch wheels. Its optional Li-Ion battery offers up to 30km of travel, making it ideal for longer trips and outdoor use.

SD Motion Trike:

The SD Motion Trike is a fully powered, joystick-controlled off-road wheelchair, designed for those who wish to explore challenging terrains. The trike features a stable base, front-wheel drive, deep treads, and three Rock Shox absorbers for a comfortable ride. Its folding base and quick-release wheels make it easy to transport. The frame comes in 200 colours and offers customizable options such as a higher or lower backrest and additional accessories like a headrest, storage rack, and push bar.
