The R20 also supports the attendant pushing the wheelchair in lots of everyday situations where they may have previously struggled.

Lightweight Folding Wheelchair Powerpack: 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.
