Types of Delivery

Two delivery options are available for products purchased from us:

It is important to note that with this type of delivery it is a “kerbside” delivery which means that the driver will unload your item(s) from the van but will not take the item into the property or set up the item. Some of the items can be very heavy and you may need to arrange assistance with moving and setting up the equipment once it has been delivered.

Our standard delivery service only applies to England and Wales. Areas outside of this may be available but would need to be discussed with our customer service team on 0800 111 6234 who will be able to provide a quote for this service.

Engineered Delivery – An engineered delivery includes a fully trained delivery driver delivering your products and will set up/assemble your product along with demonstrating how to use it correctly. Finally, any packaging is taken away so you don’t have to worry about disposal or recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Empulse F55 compatible with my wheelchair

The Empulse F55 is compatible with many rigid and folding manual wheelchairs, although compatibility depends on your wheelchair's frame, leg rests and dimensions. Before you purchase, our team can confirm whether the Empulse F55 is suitable for your wheelchair. This helps ensure you receive a powered hand bike that fits correctly and performs as intended.

Can I buy the Empulse F55 VAT free?

The Empulse F55 can often be purchased VAT free if you qualify for VAT relief because of a long-term disability or chronic medical condition. If you are eligible, you simply complete a VAT exemption declaration during the ordering process. If you're unsure whether you qualify, our team can explain the requirements and help you complete your purchase correctly.

Why should I buy the Empulse F55 instead of a powered wheelchair?

The Empulse F55 is an excellent choice if you want to add powered assistance to your existing manual wheelchair rather than purchasing a separate powered wheelchair. It allows many wheelchair users to travel further with less physical effort while continuing to use the manual wheelchair they already know and find comfortable. For many people, this can be a more flexible and cost-effective way to enjoy greater independence outdoors.
