Todo Drive is a power assist device that enables manual wheelchair to be converted into a powered wheelchair. Dash Rehab says the Todo Drive can be added to around 90 per cent of the self-propelled (SP) wheelchairs on the market so users can be sure of getting the right chair for their needs, with added power!

Available from Dash Rehab as a kit it can be installed onto a manual wheelchair after some simple remodelling to ensure that the stability and performance are unaffected.  The kit comprises two motors, a joystick, a main body, and a battery.

Once fitted, a chair can be converted from a manual to electric wheelchair with the pull or push of a lever. The push the levers and the chair can be controlled with the joystick, and for manual handling, users simply push the rims of the wheelchair as usual.

There’s a wide variety of settings and functions, including configuration and control using the Todo Drive app on a smartphone. The maximum speed and joystick sensitivity can be set, for example.

Dash Rehab anticipates that the Todo Drive will appeal to many manual wheelchair users as it says the product is ideal for those wanting to try a powerchair maybe for the first time, or for those who only need power assist on occasion.

The Robooter X40, which can be controlled using Bluetooth connectivity, is exclusive to Dash Rehab in the UK & Ireland. Dash Rehab says it is ergonomic and well-engineered, with a modern and stylish look. Dash rehab additionally states that the Robooter X40 folds up, ready for transportation, in three seconds, and turns easily.

Visitors to the event can also learn more about the new product due to launch this summer, the new Dash Carbon power chair.

The Dash Carbon is compact and lightweight, weighing just 13kg, excluding the battery, according to Dash Rehab, with detachable parts including the footplates, controller and battery, to make it an ideal option for travel.

The chair folds down and can fit behind the driver’s seat in a car. With a 6.6-amp battery, plus the option for a second battery, the Dash Carbon power chair can travel around 6km on a single charge of one battery.

Theraposture, a specialist in care cots for children with disabilities, will be demonstrating two new prototype cots for visitor feedback at Kidz to Adultz South.
