For details, this video corresponds with our blog www.walkingwayoverrated.blogspot.com My husband Craig has been waiting to replace his broken Power Assist wheels for months. To see his entire experience and learn what they are check out "Power Assist Wheels" at our Walking Way Overrated Blog.
See what half a lifetime of using a manual wheelchair can mean for your upper body and how you can receive great assistance. Come and learn with us.
Here is part one of Craig's new E-Motion M25 power assist wheels. These replace his 5 year old Quickie Xtender wheels and then his one day Alber Twion wheels. Just search power assist wheels on our blog to learn his history.
My husband Craig first started using Power Assist wheels five plus years ago. The brand was Quickie Xtender assist wheels. We covered a lot about them in this blog/vlog if you want to learn more. Sadly those wheels may have had a lot of spoke issues, but overall they handled hills very well. The goal of power assist is to assist the user so they don't have to exert strain and effort when pushing their chair. Folks like Craig often end up with torn rotator cuff injuries, shoulder strain and in his case the osteoarthritis makes his pain worse. So having the assist wheels gave him needed relief and freedom to go up hills like nothing.
At the five year mark as you will read/see in our blog, the Xtender wheels broke on a shopping trip. Again check out the blog for details. Well as you will see he decided on trying the Alber Twion assist wheels. They arrived and watch here to see what happened.

He has now been waiting for his replaceement choice. Since Xtender is no longer an option and Twion was literally a no go up hills, Lord willing, the E-Motion M25 new edition will work well. Stay tuned, he has been waiting about 5 weeks. He hurt his shoulder the day he tried the Twion up our driveway and has really felt the strain as well as going so many months without the much needed assist wheels.They are definitely a blessing. Hope the new ones come soon.
