• Manual wheelchair users complete 2,000 to 3,000 pushes on average per day (Koontz et al., 2006). That can be over 1 million pushes per year!

• A power wheelchair user travels about four times the distance in a day compared to a manual wheelchair user!  (Cooper et al., 2004).

• Shoulder pain occurs in 37%–84% of the [SCI] population according to studies published over the last decade (Alm et al., 2008; Mulroy et al., 2011).

  Easy to Connect & Disconnect

  Features & Benefits

  Alternative Controls

  Companion is thoughtfully engineered with accessibility in mind. For users with limited hand function, our innovative optional “Q” Controls offer a smarter way to steer. Instead of the traditional throttle and brake, this adaptive system features spring-loaded handlebars: simply press down to accelerate and push upward to brake. It’s intuitive, responsive, and puts effortless control at your fingertips—no grip strength required.

  Compact & Easy to Handle

  Companion’s small form factor makes it easy to use independently. Easily disconnect the unit and load it into a car while remaining seated in your wheelchair. The unit weighs approximately 20lbs.

  

  Indoor & Outdoor Capable

  Companion can maneuver in tight places thanks to its compact design and non-marking tire. It’s also capable of handling outdoor terrain like sidewalks, gravel trails, and some grass.

  

  Rigid & Folding

  Companion is compatible with both rigid and folding wheelchair frames. Our patented folding mount collapses with your frame without having to remove any hardware.

  Customizable

  Your Companion can be as unique as you are. Available options allow you to customize the look and function of your Companion. Options include:

  • Wraps & decals
  • Baskets, lights, horns
  • Throttle and brake options
  • Handlebar types and shapes
