Empulse F35

From the manufacturer

The F35 is the smallest and lightest device in the Empulse pull range, from 9 kg complete with battery and sub-frame. A pull device docks at the front of the manual chair and lifts the castors clear of the ground, so the chair effectively becomes a three-wheeler driven from a handlebar throttle. That changes the ride considerably — rough footpaths, tram tracks and driveway lips stop being obstacles — but it also means the client has to be able to dock and undock the unit, which takes trunk control, reach and a degree of hand dexterity. Sunrise Medical's own selection guidance places the F35 as suitable for users with moderate to high hand function and moderate to high upper limb strength, driven by the rider rather than an attendant, in indoor and urban environments. If the client's hand function is impaired, the M90 wheel add-on is the device in this range that accommodates it. Published range is up to 15 km with a top speed of 15 kph, regulated across three levels — useful for staged introduction, or for keeping the device inside a safe operating envelope for a less confident user. The 6.5" wheel keeps the docked length short, which matters if the client needs to negotiate lifts or a vehicle. Where longer range or rougher ground is the requirement, the F55 is the heavier but more capable option in the same family.
