Electric Wheels for Manual Wheelchairs
These wheels have electric motors integrated in the wheel hubs to support the wheelchair driver's pushing force. E-motion wheels fit most wheelchairs on the market and can be interchanged with the manual wheels. Each push on the wheel rim is detected by e-motion's intelligent sensors and converted to power assistance. This allows the user to travel long distances, up slopes or over ramps independently.

The twion is made for all active manual wheelchair users, who possess a good upper body stability, adequate coordination of their arm strength and a full hand/finger functionality. These are mostly wheelchair users with paraplegia (lesion height under TH2).
For all wheelchair users with low physical strength, unequal arm strength and limited hand and finger function. Often affected are wheelchair users with neurological dysfunctions and tetraplegia.
The twion is suitable for almost all popular active and lightweight wheelchairs. A support that receives the twion wheels will be mounted on the wheelchair frame. Usually the manual wheelchair wheels can still be used normally.

A wheel of the lightest variant weighs incl. rechargeable battery 6kg. .
The twion is designed for a maximum personal weight of 120 kg, regardless of the type of wheelchair used.
Due to the drive technology of the twion the attainable range is highly dependent of the particular conditions of use. Indoor movement involving continuous use of motor power for starting, steering and deceleration reduces the range considerably more than steady outdoor driving. In this case, a battery charge under favourable conditions can achieve a driving distance of approximately 20 km.
The twion has no defined maximum speed. Just like a manual wheelchair, the achievable speed depends on the strength of the propelling movement. The twion supports in the standard version a propelling movement up to 6 km/h [optional 10 km/h].

Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.
