Drive Devilbiss Lightweight Dual Wheel PowerStroll with Reverse to Convert Manual to Electric Wheelchair

Bought this on Friday to fix to my elderly mums wheelchair mainly so I could take her to a local steam fair as pushing the chair across grass is usually hard work. I read previous reviews and decided to take a punt as the fair was Saturday. I fitted it in 10mins although I put the clamps more centrally under the chair - between both 'X' frames on our foldable model. This keeps the chair stable when no ones in it and keeps the powered wheel well out of the way of your feet when walking behind - both issues previous purchasers have raised. I found the simplicity and smooth power of it remarkable and for the money, its well worth the spend, you just press the lever and steer occasionally. I rotated a brake lever 90° to make room for the units operating lever and the speed dial allows you to set the speed to what you need - easily more than 3mph others have stated but you can slow it down so don't be put off, its quite a range!its has a forward and back switch so lovely and simple too.Removing the powered wheel can be done and without tools as you have to do this to fold up your chair, We have a wheelchair adapted car so it isn't an issue for us. You can lift the powered wheel clear of the floor using the coloured strap they supply and that works well, its just a decent weight so if the 'carer' has limited lifting capability, bear this in mind.All in all, I'm very pleased with the unit

The power of this motor is unbelievably little so we had to walk slower than we normally would and then it jiggled itself off the supporting rails while out with a frail old person. If I hadn’t taken tools to adjust it we would have been stranded with an unmovable chair. Depending on your wheelchair it interferes with the step of the person pushing. It might work better on different chairs but this was a huge waste of money.

I am super impressed with this unit.It seems well designed for the most part and works very well. We have used it quite a few times and across many different terrains. We installed it on "Elite Care Voyager All Terrain Outdoor Folding Self Propel Wheelchair" although it is worth noting it would need removed if we wanted to fold the chair.There are a couple of feed back points for the maker though.1. I would be very interested in a unit that has a Lithium (LiFePo4) battery to try and reduce weight of the battery. The Lead acid battery might be heavy for some older users. It would also probably increase range although I have not experienced the limit of range yet. It would also potentially allow the battery to to be relocated into a storage pouch at the back of the chair as opposed to on the unit itself (which would probably allow it to be installed on more chairs) - although I understand the weight of the battery is used to increase traction for the motor.2. The brackets that fit on to the chair itself can move even when tightened. I will probably add a threaded bar to mine that will run through the centre of the pole and fix everything tightly together.Overall it is a great unit and we love it. The points above are minor at best and won't matter to everyone - just my own observations

I do wish I’d ordered this two years ago. This device is very well made , a good , sold piece of kit. Easy to assemble but made sure it was tightened and secured before use. It is simple to use and amazing on smooth flat surfaces and also good on other surfaces . It is certainly beneficial for inclines / ramps . :) very well priced too.

Very easy to put together and in two halves not too heavy. However, I found the restricted movement caused by the tracking of the wheels across the mounting bar made steering the wheelchair very difficult. The hand control takes up half of the handlebar of the wheelchair leaving very little grip space and I have small hands, made for sore and strained hand. Also as others have said the wheels project out towards the back unless you can mount them further under the wheelchair. Unfortunately had to return for refund.

This does give extra power for the person pushing the wheelchair (especially as in my case due to my condition and meds, I am heavier now) But it is also a little awkward for them as it's position is exactly where they would place their feet when walking behind. Theory is good and value for money

Better than expected. Easy to assemble. One piece of advice is to make sure you allow enough space to pull the 'speed' trigger back as, if you don't, you wont be able to get your wheelchair to go fast enough

Broke within 2 weeks,that was back in July still waiting to be refunded. Not worth the money
