Wheelchair power add-on

A wheelchair power add-on is like a motor that helps a wheelchair move forward without any additional effort from the person using it. Just like when you ride your toy car that has a battery, with this add-on, you don't have to push the wheels, as the motor helps it move by itself.

The add-on is a small device that attaches to the wheels of a manual wheelchair. It can be controlled using buttons or a joystick that the person using it can easily reach and control. When the person wants to move forward, they press the button or move the joystick, and the motor kicks in to start moving the wheelchair.

This add-on is great for people who have difficulty moving their wheelchair on their own, or who get tired easily from pushing their wheelchair for long distances. It can help them move around more easily and comfortably, whether they are going to school, work, or just out for a walk.
