Light Drive Power Assist | Power Add on For Manual …

The Light Drive power assist is an electric motor that turns your manual wheelchair into an ultra-light, high performance electric wheelchair in seconds!

An extended colour range, a new anti-tip, a more ergonomic clutch system… Light Drive power assist is changing in order to make life even more beautiful!

The motor attachment simply hooks onto the rear of your rigid or folding manual wheelchair.

The Light Drive unit is operated by a joystick while maintaining the chair’s manoeuvrability – its stop’s when you let go of the joystick and has a 360-degree movement including full reversal.

By releasing a clutch, you can free wheel giving you the choice between using the power add on assistance or manual use.

Safety is a principal factor of the Light Drive with a downhill braking feature in place that automatically controls your decent.

Benoit Systems have designed the Light Drive to be a robust & reliable power add for most manual wheelchairs.
