Some children and young people can get around a familiar house under their own steam but run out of energy long before the school day, the shops or a family outing is over. The Zippie iXpress is a power add-on that closes that gap: it clips onto a manual chair and lets it be driven with a joystick, then comes off again when the chair goes in the car.
The joystick is straightforward, with power on and off, profile selection, a wrist support and flexible mounting so it can be positioned for the hand that will use it. A glide to steer function smooths out the driving, which helps a young user who is still learning control. The battery lifts off for charging, uses quality Japanese cells and charges quickly, so it can be topped up between outings rather than overnight only.
It is designed for the Zippie Iris and Quickie 2, so it suits a client who already has the right manual chair and needs range rather than a whole new base.
