Sunrise Empulse R20 Folding Powerpack; Revolutionary lightweight, foldable pushing aid for manual wheelchairs
The Sunrise Empulse R20 Folding Powerpack is a foldable push device for manual wheelchairs making it even easier to move forward, whether that be uphill, downhill or longer distances. The R20 supports the attendant pushing the wheelchair in lots of everyday situations where you may have previously struggled.
Not only is the R20 power pack the only foldable option on the market, attached to or separated from the wheelchair, it is also extremely lightweight. At only 3kg and complete with a handy backpack, it makes this an incredibly practical and easy choice. This is especially true when wanting something for transportation.
Powered by a 1.5kg powerful 5.8Ah lithium ion battery the R20 offers the user a range of up to 15km and a recharging time of 4.5-5hrs.
Integrated freewheel allowing a self-drive option for ease of use
Another advantage of the Empulse R20 is that it still allows the person sitting in the wheelchair to have a self-drive option on self-propelling wheelchairs. Thanks to the integrated freewheel you can drive the wheelchair without having to remove the pushing aid. You simply lift the drive wheel off the ground with the hook provided. As a result, this allows you maximum independence when required. It is ideal for users up to a maximum weight of 170kg (26.7st).
Sunrise Empulse R20 Folding Powerpack; Compatible with a huge range of manual wheelchairs
This wheelchair powerpack offers high compatibility when combined with most manual wheelchairs. It is easy to fit to any wheelchair. Provided it has a box frame and a tube diameter of 22-28mm, then the R20 can be fitted and used.
Once the docking pins have been fitted to the wheelchair you can then click fix the R20 on to your wheelchair quickly and simply, without the need for tools. It also offers low impact to the weight of the wheelchair as only the small docking pins remain on the wheelchair.
It is ideal for tilt in space & reclining wheelchairs as it does not impact or get in the way of the tilt or recline functions.
Easy to use controls, powerful motor and maintenance free
The empulse R20 offers ease of use with its one button on/off controls and light up display to show the battery capacity remaining and the speed range setting. The control unit is also adjustable so that you can find a position that is comfortable, visible and easily accessible. The single motorised wheel has a solid, robust, long lasting tyre and runs from a powerful 250w brushless motor. This makes it maintenance free.

Types of Delivery
Two delivery options are available for products purchased from us:

You will be contacted by the office the day before your delivery is due to arrive with confirmation of a time slot.
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.
