Power Assist Wheels & Track Systems NZ
Our range of power assist wheels and track wheel systems in NZ is designed to enhance the performance of manual wheelchairs by reducing effort and improving mobility. Power assist wheels provide additional motorised support, while track wheel systems help navigate uneven or challenging terrain.
These solutions are ideal for individuals who want to maintain independence while reducing the physical strain of self-propelling a wheelchair. Power assist and track wheels are commonly used across New Zealand in both everyday and outdoor environments.
Power Assist Wheels for Easier Mobility
Power assist wheels are designed to support manual wheelchair users by adding motorised assistance to each push. This reduces the amount of effort required to move, particularly over longer distances or inclines.
Power assist wheels can assist with:
- Reducing strain on shoulders and arms
- Improving mobility over longer distances
- Supporting independence for everyday use
- Making hills and ramps easier to manage
These systems are especially beneficial for users who want to remain active while reducing fatigue.
Track Wheels for Outdoor and All-Terrain Use
Track wheel systems are designed to improve wheelchair performance on uneven or difficult terrain. By distributing weight more evenly and increasing traction, track wheels allow users to navigate surfaces that may be challenging for standard wheelchair wheels.
Track wheels are ideal for:
- Grass, gravel, and uneven surfaces
- Outdoor environments and off-road use
- Improving stability on challenging terrain
- Expanding accessibility beyond smooth surfaces
These systems provide greater freedom to access a wider range of environments.
Enhancing Independence and Reducing Effort
Power assist and track wheel systems are designed to support independence while reducing physical effort. For many users, these solutions make it possible to travel further, access more environments, and remain active with less strain.
They are also beneficial for caregivers, reducing the effort required to push a wheelchair over longer distances or difficult terrain.
Choosing the Right Power Assist or Track Wheel System
Choosing the right solution depends on how and where the wheelchair will be used. Some users may benefit from power assist wheels for daily mobility, while others may require track systems for outdoor access.
Key considerations include:
- Level of physical effort required
- Indoor vs outdoor use
- Terrain and environment
- Compatibility with the wheelchair
Selecting the right system ensures improved mobility, comfort, and long-term usability.
