The Decon E-Move Power Add-On is adaptable to individual needs and is available in five different wheel sizes (16”, 20”, 22”, and 24”), offering versatility to suit various wheelchair sizes and user preferences. It features an AC servomotor in the wheel hub and is compatible with NiMH and Li-ion batteries, providing users with 11 and 21 mile maximum range options to suit their needs.
The E-Move is designed to reduce strain on the upper body, making it especially beneficial for individuals with limited upper body strength or mobility issues. Additionally, it enables users to navigate different types of terrain with greater ease, providing the extra power and stability needed to tackle tough environments, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy outdoor activities or need to navigate challenging terrain regularly.
The programmable setting options on the E-Move make it pretty unique. It can be programmed for extra power (forwards and backwards), swing sensitivity, Hemiplegia (one hand use), imbalance in arm strength, speed settings and gyro function (counteracting sloping surfaces). To be able to cover longer distances, the E-Move can be adjusted so that the wheelchair can be moved up to 20m with just one push rim grip. If you use the gyro function, the wheelchair rolls straight all the way without you having to straighten it.
The E-Move system is also easy to detach and store, making it ideal for your travels, by car or air. It is available in a standard version for a maximum user weight of 130 kg and a heavy duty version for a maximum user weight of 150 kg.
Our Verdict
If you're looking for push-rim activated power assistance the E-Move has to be a consideration. The programmable setting options combine well with a well-designed and reliable build-quality. The Alber E-Motion M25 is a strong contender in the push-rim activated add-on sphere and definitely worth a test drive. We'd also recommend you take a look at the Sunrise Medical Empulse WheelDrive - similar to the E-Motion M25, as it has a second set of hand-rims that provide cruise control.
