For Everybody, Everyday, Everywhere

Reduce the strain on your body and convert your wheelchair to a powered device with the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55. Simple to attach, the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Wheelchair Add-On Handbike gives you the freedom and confidence to travel further, faster, and longer without worrying about physical effort.

The Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Add-On Handbike stores just as neatly away in the boot of your car as it does at home, so it's always ready to go at a moment’s notice. Packed with many built-in adjustments, the power add-on doesn't just fit your lifestyle. It'll fit you too. Choose the compact, 8.5" drive wheel for city-centre manoeuvring and the 14" drive wheel for more off-road adventures.

FREEDOM

Enjoy the ride

The ideal solution is to look for an environmentally friendly solution that is easy to handle and helps you explore worlds that used to be out of reach.

Taking you everywhere, every day.

It’s all about where YOU want to go. Highly compact, the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Wheelchair Add-On Handbike will tightly manoeuvre around those busy indoor environments. Loaded with the speed (15kph), power and range (up to 25km), you can alternatively conquer the great outdoors without even breaking a sweat.

Everyday companion, indoors or out

Available in either an 8.5” wheel for the best indoor manoeuvrability or a 14” for optimised outdoor performance.
Mounting on the front of the chair, the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Add-On Handbike Steering can turn 90 degrees for easier indoor manoeuvrability.

Clip and go

Maintain your freedom and independence throughout the day to self-propel, but for those long journeys or as you are tired throughout the day, the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Wheelchair Add-On Handbike can be easily and independently docked onto your chair thanks to its front mounting.

Designed to fit everybody

Empulse F55 can fit a whole range of wheelchair makes and models. Whether you have a rigid or folding frame, a fixed front or a swing-away model, the F55 can perfectly suit your chair and your requirements.

Which side will you choose?

8.5" - City Companion

Fitted with an 8.5“ solid drive wheel, this smaller front wheel allows a compact turning circle for improved indoor manoeuvrability and makes it easier to transfer into the boot and store. This F55 may be small, but it boasts great indoor and outdoor capabilities in urban terrains.

14" Drive Wheel - Greater Outdoor Performance

Do you want a power add-on bike to get around the office but also be able to ride there? This F55 has a small footprint to navigate indoor environments combined with the traction, power and ride comfort to get you there! While taking shortcuts through the parks and canals, the 14“ Empulse F55 is a power add-on bike for urban outdoor terrains.

Intuitive drive controls

Complete with a very high specification as standard, the Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Wheelchair Add-On Handbike range of controls is here to make your driving experience as easy as possible. Fitted with as standard a clear LCD, cruise control for those longer journies, forward and reverse to navigate out of a tight spot and a smooth electric brake for a controlled stop.

STORAGE

Easy to transport

A dismantled weight of just 9kg combined with a flip-up subframe makes it a compact package for easy handling and storage in even small cars.

The Sunrise Medical EMPULSE F55 Compact Wheelchair Add-On Handbike is also approved for transportation on aeroplanes and ships, saving your energy while on holiday for the activities you want!
