Power your life with the Smartdrive.
A revolutionary new power assist device that provides greater freedom and power to wheelchair users.
Melrose Wheelchairs have exclusive New Zealand dealership for this product and we have recently been trialing it.
To go - just push as per normal, the unit "remembers" your speed and maintains it until you brake to stop. It rotates freely on the camber bar so can accommodate wheelies and curbs with ease.
Although its range is 16km and it can whisk you along at over 7kph, its greatest trick is its portability. The SmartDrive unit hooks onto a pin attachment that is fixed to your camber bar -
the battery slides under the seat hooking over the sling with the one connecting wire plugging into the drive unit - your ready to go.
Because it is attached to the camber bar a fixed frame wheelchair with camber bar is required.

Left to right "Melrose Portable Toilet Transfer Bench, Melrose Portable Shower Transfer Bench,Melrose Foldable Commode/Shower Chair,
Melrose Transportable Commode/Shower Chair"
Comfortable, transportable shower and toilet chairs
Thats right, you can take these apart, store them in a carry case and then take them on holiday with you. Only one tool is required (supplied) to easily dismantle
these for storage, and even the carry bags can be made with wheels to make them super easy to transport about.
We fabricate, test, and use these ourselves utilising our paraplegic and tetraplegic staff members. Fabricating these ourselves allowed the design team to aim for strength and simplicity
within the designs to provide a product that should last for years to come.
These are all made from aluminium with stainless steel and composite fittings so rusting parts are kept to a minimum.
All seating areas are padded for comfort with easy to clean surfaces. The Melrose Transportable Commode/Shower Chair also has a toilet seat with an opening that can be positioned towards
either side or the back as well as the front.
Contact us to discuss any one of these products, remember - we can customise any of these designs to suit you and your needs personally.
