SDMotion Assist
What is the SD Motion Assist?
SD Motion Assist is a discreet and lightweight power-assist unit that attaches to your manual wheelchair and boosts every push.
It feels natural, smooth, and responsive — you stay fully in control, but with far less effort.
Whether it’s a hill, a long day out, a stretch of grass, or keeping up with family, the Assist gives you the freedom to say “yes” to more.
You’re still using your manual chair.
Just…now it's a lot easier.
Smooth, easy push support
Every push feels lighter, protecting your shoulders and helping you travel further without fatigue.
Natural assisted self-propel
Sensors detect your movement and deliver just the right amount of power on each push.
Lightweight, compact and discreet
No bulky add-ons. Your wheelchair still looks and behaves like a manual chair.
Two-speed power assistance
Choose gentle support or stronger help for slopes and longer distances. We call these "Indoor mode" and "outdoor mode."
Various battery options available
Choose between a Ni-MH battery or a Li-ion battery. Fitted in standard position or a battery bag mounted under or behind seat.
Quick-release wheels for transport
Simply pull the D-ring on the centre hub to remove the wheels in seconds for easy lifting into a car or storing at home.
Switch easily between manual and powered
A simple press of a button changes your wheelchair from manual to powered, meaning you’re always in control.
Fits most 24” manual wheelchairs
This system can be fitted to a broad range of 24" wheel manual wheelchairs.

How it works
Each push on your hand rim is detected by electronic sensors that instantly deliver the right level of assistance from the wheels. Push, and it helps. Ease off, and the power fades naturally.
It’s intuitive from the moment you try it — as close as you can get to your normal self-propel, just easier.
Freedom to Go Further
Without Giving Up Control
SD Motion Assist helps you travel further with noticeably less effort, reducing strain on your shoulders, elbows, and wrists while preserving the freedom and flexibility of your manual wheelchair. It makes longer days out more enjoyable, easing fatigue so you can focus on the moments that matter rather than the effort it takes to get there.
Whether you’re heading outdoors, tackling slopes, or navigating uneven surfaces, the Assist gives you added confidence without taking control away — it supports your movement, but you always set the pace.
Ni-MH or Li-Ion Battery
Ni-MH battery has a range of 18km/11 miles

or behind seat (wheelchair dependent)
Transport and Storage
