Our take
What if your manual chair could give you a little help on the long stretch? The SmartDrive MX2+ is a power assist that mounts to the rear of a compatible manual wheelchair and uses an OmniWheel drive unit, so you cover more ground with fewer pushes. Max Mobility developed it, and it is now sold under Permobil. Controls include a wired SwitchControl, a SpeedControl dial and PushTracker options. What stands out is that it is meant to complement your manual chair, not replace it. Check compatibility with Permobil. We keep one in our Equipment Library for in-person demos only.
Who it may help: Manual wheelchair users who want less push effort and more distance with fewer pushes.
