v-max

The pushing and braking aid for your wheelchair

The v-max pushing and braking aid offers the accompanying person targeted relief over long distances e.g. on the way to school, to therapy sessions or on walks with families and/or friends.

Difficult terrain, upward/downward slopes or loading ramps can quickly become strenuous obstacles.The powerful v-max motor offers relief in all driving situations and so almost limitless mobility.The v-max brakes automatically when navigating downward slopes, ensuring a safe descent.

with the v-max you make your manual wheelchair mobile

The wheelchair is powered directly at the rear wheels. The advantage of this technique is the permanent and very efficient transmission of power.

You can effortlessly overcome slopes up to 20 %. The maximum total weight admitted (person, wheelchair plus device) is 200 kg. An almost limitless mobility is at your disposal due to the v-max. Our powerful battery pack allows for a range of 19 km depending on the weight of the person to be transported as well as the terrain‘s surface. The speed going forward is continuously adjustable up to 6 km/h, going backward up to 3 km/h. The v-max is mounted to the lower part of the back rest allowing full leg space for the attendant. It merely weighs 8.3 kg and the battery pack 9.2 kg.

Intelligent technology —

at your service for your mobility

Sturdy, toothed wheels grip into the toothed wheel rim transmitting the power to drive or brake the wheelchair wheels directly.

Ergonomic design

in control and always part of things

It is important to be in control of the wheelchair at all times, but particularly on slopes. For the attendant this is a considerable factor to ensure your safety. Therefore, we designed the v-max‘s ergonomically formed grips which are particularly user-friendly and connected to the grips of the manual wheelchair. Should you not need the v-max at some point and you want to set it down, the grips support the device on the floor. The transportation of the v-max is simple and comfortable. It is easily removed and fits, along with your wheelchair, into almost any car boot.

Quick assembly and disassembly, compact size and low weight

make the v-max particularly easy to transport.
