Let’s focus on a new concept of wheelchair which could surprise you. I introduce you Twion.

At the Naidex exhibition, bespoken was impressed by a new prototype called "Twion" exhibited by the German company "Alber". Alber has been manufacturing medical devices in Germany for more than 27 years and it wants to perpetuate it by continuing to develop, test and produce products. The company is at the heart of innovation. The quality of the products is high; it is environmentally friendly and it helps to benefit customers worldwide.

The wheelchair launched by the company Alber features smartphone connectivity which communicates with the wheels by Bluetooth and Android. Thereby, owners can get the speed of their vehicle, the distance travelled and the battery life thanks to the Smartphone Application.

Another fundamental particularity of the product is that it is possible to have the control of the wheelchair through your smartphone. Indeed, you can park your empty chair and simply bring it back with your phone.

Characteristics of the wheelchair are huge. The wheelchair is very light because the weight of each 24"wheel is around 6kg. It has a maximum speed of 10km/h (6.3 miles/h) and it lasts 12 miles full charge. It uses innovative drive technology which allows the driver to move as often as he wants.

The maximum permissible weight of a person is 120kg and the maximum permissible total weight is 145kg. By the way, it can suit most of you.

The technology Twion is suitable for almost every common type of wheelchair. For that, manual wheels and the Twion wheels can be interchanged and a lightweight bracket is fitted onto the wheelchair.

Other options and accessories can be added to the wheelchair. Thereby, it is possible to order a black cover, a Stainless Steel Push Rim, personalized tyres as well as mobility Plus Package, a bracket and Anti-Tippers with swiveling and Jack-up function.
