Empulse R90

Go longer distances without fatigue, easily ascend ramps, and reduce stress on your shoulders.

The sleek, simple, and compact design allows the R90 to sit under your chair. It's inconspicuous & intuitive, and maintains your chair's size and turning circle. The V-Lock attachment system secures the R90 to most folding and rigid wheelchairs. The simple Control Box enables easy push-button use and can be ergonomically positioned for easy access. When power assist is not needed, simply push a button to raise the wheel for zero rolling resistance. The Sunrise Intelligence app allows you to select the performance profile that best suits your environment.

Eye-Catching Design

Go the distance with a removable battery

Traditional power assist devices often feature non-removable batteries, limiting your range and freedom while requiring downtime when the batteries need to be replaced. The R90's standard battery has a range of up to 9.8 miles*, and the extended battery has a range of up to 19.5 miles*. Take a second battery with you to go even further. Remove the battery to lighten the R90 when carrying or transporting it.

The standard battery (2.5 Ah) meets current regulations to be carried on a plane (always verify with your airline for current regulations).

*Range is dependent on the ground surface, the weight of the user, driving behaviour, temperature, and terrain.

Wheel up function

No need to be a drag

When the R90 is not needed, raise the wheel for zero rolling resistance. This can be done with a button on the Control Box or from the Sunrise Intelligence app. Even though the R90 is easy to remove, you can just raise the wheel and keep it on your chair all day long.

Smooth Ride

The R90 propels you with a patent-pending suspension, reducing bumps and vibrations. The extremely durable, airless rubber tyre provides good surface contact and a smooth ride with minimal maintenance.

Push-button propelling

Drive your chair easily without a strong grasp or dexterity. Start and control your speed with the push of a button. Free up your hands to steer and stop, push a cart, or hold the hand of a loved one.

• The wireless Control Box can be mounted on your wheelchair's frame anywhere convenient to you.
• Raise or lower the wheel any time.
• Set your speed for any situation – dialled down in a crowded store or ramped up to keep up with your dog. You have a maximum speed of 5.5 mph!
• To get moving, simply press the plus (+) button. Or, you can propel to the speed you want and press the plus (+) button to maintain it, like cruise control.

There's no learning curve; just faster, slower, wheel up, or GO!

Bluetooth

The Control Box connects to the R90 via Bluetooth^®, so there aren't any cables to get in your way. Regardless of your location and movements, Bluetooth stays reliably connected. The Control Box can be quickly removed to help with transfers or to avoid damage during air travel.

V-LOCK

Simple, secure attachment

The patent-pending V-LOCK^™ is a tapered latch that securely docks the R90 to the receiver on the chair. Combined with the ergonomic, easy-grasp handle, upright orientation, and rolling tyre, the R90 can be attached by many people while they are seated in their chair.

Reimagine your ride with the Empulse R90, designed to fit most rigid and folding wheelchairs. A durable yet lightweight bracket is fastened to the chair and remains on the chair, while the R90 can be easily detached.

Rigid Wheelchair Compatibility

For rigid chairs, the receiver bracket mounts directly to the chamber tube and can remain in place, whether the R90 is on or off your chair.

Folding Wheelchair Compatibility

For a folding wheelchair, the assembly has a sturdy crossbar that is spring-loaded for quick installation and removal.

Drive performance

The compact design of the R90 offers great handling, agile turning, and stability. The R90 was designed for uncompromising performance, extended range, and ease of use, so riders can commute to work or school (without arriving sweaty), run errands, or take longer trips.

Centre spin

The R90 drive wheel is positioned under your seat. This means you can manoeuvre forward, backwards, and 360° with minimal drag or hang-up. In tight spaces, move as you normally do. Getting into and out of tight spaces is just as easy with the R90 mounted, raised, or removed, as it doesn't extend beyond your rear wheels. The centre spin of the tyre allows for precision turning. No fishtailing, no rear bounce. It moves like it's a part of you.

One-hand speed control

To maintain your speed, go faster, or slow down, simply push a button on the easy-to-access Control Box. This frees up one of your hands for more important things.

Sunrise Intelligence App

Use the app during the initial setup of the R90 to optimise its performance for the rider's weight and wheelchair. The R90 App allows you to select the performance profile and maximum speed that best suits your environment, whether you are indoors or outside. The preset drive profiles are tailored for specific environments for speed, torque, and slope thresholds.

The app shows battery charge, so you always know when you need to recharge. You can raise or lower the R90's wheel and check the position of the wheel from the app. Historical data is shown in a dashboard so you can track your maximum speed and distance. The app is compatible with Android^™ and Apple^® iOS.
