The Servo
Bridging the Gap Between Manual and Automatic Wheelchairs
Starting at $8275
The Servo power-assist system makes it possible for wheelchair users — even with reduced strength — to move independently and increase the distance they can travel.
The Servo uses technology that mimics the effect of power steering in a car – it augments the user’s strength when pushing the wheel rims! Using the servo is just like using a wheelchair. Just easier.
That means you can maintain a healthy level of activity while reducing the strain on your muscles and joints.
The Servo gives you the control of a manual wheelchair with the added mobility and freedom of movement that comes with a traditional electric wheelchair.
DETAILS
Advantages over manual (unpowered) wheelchairs:
- Much easier to self-propel over challenging surfaces such as thick carpets, rugs, and door transitions.
- Easier and safer to travel both uphill and downhill.
- Ability to independently travel longer distances without getting tired.
Advantages over traditionally powered wheelchairs:
- Easier to control with reduced fine motor skills.
- Adjustable degrees of assistance to maintain a healthy level of activity.
- Decreased potential to injure yourself or others
- Lighter and easier to disassemble for transport
