Starting at $7,735
The Solo is a lightweight rear-wheel drive power wheelchair add-on kit that’s easy to disassemble and transport. Since each wheel only weighs 19.8 lbs (9kg) and is 24″ in diameter, the Solo can be transported in virtually any vehicle that can transport a manual wheelchair. No special transport required!
And with a range of 35km, the Solo makes it easy to join your loved ones on outings and field trips.
The Solo comes with mounting brackets that fit a wide range of commercially available wheelchairs, which means it can be mounted on to your existing wheelchair!

(1) | Observe the maximum load according to the wheelchair manufacturer’s information. |
(2) | According to ISO 7176-4, the distance range depends on the weight of the transported person, the ground, the terrain profile, the ambient temperature, etc. |
(3) | Based on a user weight of 350lbs. Climbing & braking ability also depend on the surface, terrain profile, ambient temperature etc. |
(4) | Person weight on the type plate and in the technical data was calculated using an assumed wheelchair weight of 44 lbs |
(5) | Temperatures below 0°C will reduce the performance of the battery pack, therefore we recommend a storage temperature of at least 0°C. |
(6) | The width can vary even more depending on the wheelchair model. |
