The Firefly is an electric power add on that attaches to the front of most rigid frame wheelchairs and even some folding models of manual wheelchairs.
This is the hybrid model of the Firefly so it can be powered manually using the hand cycle option, or powered using the battery! This is the best option for those who want to increase their exercise levels but just might need a break from time to time! The manual hand cycle is geared just like a normal bike and the whole unit can be clipped on to a wheelchair very easily.
The hybrid model is called the E Dragonfly and there is also a purely manual option called the Dragonfly - see it here.
The E Dragonfly weighs 12.5kg and the manual Dragonfly weighs 11.4kg
We can bring any of these models to you to allow you to try - we have it connected to a Quickie Life so you can transfer in to that and put it to the test!
The ATTO folding mobility scooter is an incredible bit of technology and unlike any other scooter available. It folds up to the size of a luggage case and also splits in two making it very easy to lift into the boot of your car! It looks modern and contemporary and is also approved for airline travel so you can bring it on holidays with you. The folding and unfolding sequence is very straight forward but for some people with weaker wrists or arms it might be a little challenging - this is why we offer a free home demonstration service to let you try it beforehand. It offers great convenience but not too much postural support although armrests are available as an optional accessory.
Folding electric wheelchairs offer you the chance to bring a powered wheelchair with you in the boot of the car if leaving the house.
Many models are 23kg or under so are manageable but we can also help advise about the requirement for a ramp or boot hoist to make life even easier. We offer folding electric wheelchairs that are approved for airline travel so you can bring yours on holiday!
