Active rigid frame users tend to be the ones covering distance, and distance is what costs shoulders over a lifetime. The Light Drive 2.1 in the rigid frame configuration gives your client powered travel when they want it and hands the chair straight back when they do not.
The unit drives the rear tyres through two motors and is controlled with a joystick. It clips on in a few steps, and disengaging the clutches returns the chair to normal manual propulsion without removing anything. When it does come off, the chair is back to its own weight and balance, which is what rigid frame users are usually protecting.
It fits a wide range of manual chairs through a small bracket kit, and the battery is approved for carriage on aircraft. For clients preserving shoulder function while staying in a manual chair, it is worth considering.
