Pushing has never been so easy!
With a 4.5 kg total transport weight and unique folding function, the R20 is ideal for storage and transport, without having to compromise on performance and durability. The R20 is also incredibly easy to use, with a push to go control, two peg mounting and easy to read display.
Key Features.

The R20 is one of the lightest powerpacks on the market.
With a total carry weight of just 4.5kg, it is less than half the weight of other powerpacks currently available. This includes 3kg for the motor and a 1.4kg lithium-ion battery which can be disconnected and transported separately (the intuitive, easy to grip two peg design allows easy mounting without using any tools).

250w brushless motors
The R20 contains 250w brushless motors that don't wear over time versus traditional brushed versions, as well as a powerful, robust and long lasting tyre and a lithium ion battery ensuring a durable and reliable product, this is reinforced with an extended 2 year warranty on the battery and 3 years on the motor.

Easy to use
The easy to use control system has one push button to go, as well as an easy to read display showing the speed and battery gauges. A height adjustable handle allows the user to achieve the most comfortable position when operating the device.
NO COMPROMISE
Despite it's lightweight nature and compact appearance, there
is no compromise on performance.
The R20 can achieve up to a 9 mile range, as well as having the
ability to climb 5cm kerbs and 10 degree slopes.
It will also cater for users up to 170kg in weight (190kg total
including the wheelchair) meaning the R20 is a product that
works for all.

FITTING
The simple, easy to use mounting system means that
the R20 can be fitted to almost any manual,
box-frame wheelchair as long as the tube
diameter is between 22-28mm.
From active chairs such as the Life and Basix, to
tilt-in-space chairs like the Breezy IBIS, the R20 can
be mounted with ease.
UNIQUE FOLDING
The R20 is the only powerpack on the market that can be
folded with the wheelchair.
This unique feature means you no longer have to connect and
disconnect each time you transport or store the wheelchair.
The powerpack can be left on the chair so it's ready to go at a
moments notice and the 4.5kg total carry weight allows the
chair to be lifted while the R20 is still attached.


AESTHETICS
The compact, lightweight design together with matt black
colouring on the motor and connectors gives the R20 a sleek
and modern look.
When mounted to the wheelchair, the powerpack doesn't
obstruct the user and it's subtle size keeps all the attention on
the client.
EASY TO MOUNT
Thanks to the intuative, easy to grip two peg design, it
couldn't be easier to mount and dismount the powerpack.
The Ultra lightweight motor helps this further and makes
mounting the R20 light and easy.
