Bespoken has noticed that a new kind of wheelchair wheel was launched a few months ago by the company Frank Mobility Systems. This American company offers a variety of add-on drives and portable wheelchair motors. All products manufactured by the company are tested and certified, so that they meet all the safety standards.

The powered wheels recently designed and launched by Frank Mobility Systems is called E-Motion M15.

The product which provides therapeutic benefits can be used on all terrains and in all weather conditions. Electric motors are integrated to support the wheelchair driver’s pushing force. Each pulse is detected and converted to the required degree of power assistance.

Two different assist levels are available for different driving situations. There is a roll back delay which enables you to safely climb hills or a ramp with a braking assistance to help when people are in descent. Moreover, a screen is attached to the wheelchair arm rest to show diagnostic codes and there is a way to go from manual to electric at the touch of a button.

As far as the performance is concerned, it is important to add that the Lithium-ion batteries which are integrated can be removed. It lasts 16 miles full charge. The maximum distance per hour is 6km (3.7 mph). Also the maximum permitted total weight is 130kg and the overall concept is very quiet.
