Sunrise Medical Empulse F55

Power Add on Bike for
Everybody, Everyday & Everywhere

Empulse

Don’t you love acting on an impulse? The thrill of a spontaneous trip without having to care about the strain a wheelchair places on your body? For over 40 years, we’ve worked with wheelchair users and carers around the world to design wheelchairs and understand the physical effort it places on your daily life.

That’s why we created EMPULSE – power add-ons for wheelchairs that give you the freedom and confidence to do more. More distance. More speed. More time to enjoy those impulsive moments. Simple to use and packed with useful features, EMPULSE not only helps you move through the world in a sustainable way, it also fits as easily onto your wheelchair as it will into your daily life – so you’re always ready to go at a moments notice.

EVERYBODY.
EVERYDAY.
EVERYWHERE.

How many times have you self-propelled your wheelchair today? Probably too many to remember, but your body will remember every single push. That’s because with every journey you take, you place additional strain on your muscles and joints. Are you feeling more drained of energy than when you first started using your chair?

If the answer is YES! The Empulse F55 has been designed with exactly YOU in mind. Our new Power Add-on Bike is the perfect accessory to assist you to go wherever you want to go, when you want to go; while reducing the strain and
effort on your body.

By not being permanently mounted on to the front of your chair the Empulse F55, doesn’t compromise your function or mobility, it’s easy to fit and highly intuitive to drive. Designed to work alongside your everyday activities whether at home, visiting friends, in the office, shopping or simply or out and about.

Step 1 – Lift and bring the F55 powerbike subframe arms in to the tapered receivers

Tapered frame receivers

Step 3 – Turn the locking pin and with either one or two hands push the bike up until you hear a click

Light lift and lock design
Once docked the F55 is light to push up, lifting the front castors off the ground. Ideal even with limited strength.

Step 4 – Lift the clamp to remove the play between the bike and the chair for a smoother ride

Be Secured
The lift clamp is designed to reduce the play that exists between a chair and an add-on device, meaning you can feel safe and secure in your F55.
