REIMAGINE YOUR RIDE

Sleek, simple, and smart push assist

The sleek, simple, and compact design allows the R90 to sit under your chair. It's inconspicuous and intuitive & maintains your chair's size and turning circle. The V-Lock attachment system secures the R90 to most folding and rigid wheelchairs. The simple Control Box enables easy push-button use and can be ergonomically positioned for easy use. When power assist is not needed, simply push a button to raise the wheel up for zero rolling resistance. The Sunrise Intelligence app allows you to select the performance profile that best suits your environment.

V-LOCK

Simple, secure attachment

The patent-pending V-LOCK™ is a tapered latch that securely docks the R90 to the receiver on the chair. Combined with the ergonomic, easy-grasp handle; upright orientation; and rolling tire, the R90 can be attached by many people while they are seated in their chair.

Reimagine your ride with the Empulse R90, designed to fit most rigid and folding wheelchairs. A durable yet lightweight bracket is fastened to the chair and remains on the chair while the R90 can be easily detached.

Push-button propelling

SIMPLE CONTROLS

Push-button propelling

Limited hand grasp or dexterity? With the R90's wireless Control Box, you can start and control your speed with the push of a button. Conveniently attachable to any part of your wheelchair's frame, it allows you to: 

  • Raise or lower the wheel any time.
  • Adjust your speed as needed: lower in crowded rooms, or higher to match your dog's pace, with a top speed of 5.5 mph.
  • Get moving by pressing the plus (+) button, or propel to the speed you want and press the plus (+) button to maintain it, like cruise control.

The Control Box wirelessly connects to the R90 using Bluetooth®, ensuring there's no cable in your way. It maintains a reliable connection no matter your movement and can be easily detached for transfers or to prevent damage during flights. There's no learning curve; just faster, slower, wheel up, or GO!

Compatible with most rigid and folding wheelchairs

Compatibility

Compatible with most rigid and folding wheelchairs

The Empulse R90 is compatible with most rigid and folding wheelchairs. The reciever brackets don't interfere with chair components, and still allow folding chairs to fold.

For rigid chairs, the receiver bracket mounts directly to the camber tube and can remain in place, whether the R90 is on or off your chair.

For folding chairs, the assembly has a sturdy crossbar that is spring-loaded for quick installation and removal.

Drive performance

Performance

Drive performance

The compact design of the R90 offers great handling, agile turning, and stability. The R90 was designed for uncompromising performance, extended range, and ease of use, so riders can commute to work or school (without arriving sweaty), run errands, or take longer trips.

Sunrise Intelligence App

Smart Device

Sunrise Intelligence App

Use the app during the initial setup of the R90 to optimize its performance to the rider's weight and wheelchair. The R90 App allows you to select the performance profile and maximum speed that best suits your environment, whether you are indoors or outside. The preset drive profiles are tailored for specific environments for speed, torque, and slope thresholds.

The app shows battery charge, so you always know when you need to recharge. You can raise or lower the R90's wheel and check the position of the wheel from the app. Historical data is shown in a dashboard so you can track your maximum speed and distance. The app is compatible with Android™ and Apple® iOS.

"A big positive about the R90 is how fast I could start using it. The control box is easy to understand and learn out of the box. I was having a lot of difficulty with shoulder pain, and the R90 helped me overcome it. I will always use the R90 for this reason. It still feels like my chair – just more power!"

"I remember going up this long ramp at the Dallas VA, and I was amazed at how effortlessly the R90 kept up its speed. It really made a difference for me. Plus, knowing I have a backup battery for those extra-long days gives me peace of mind. It's definitely going to save wear and tear on my shoulders."

"I've been a wheelchair user for 20+ years now. Maintaining my shoulder health is a top priority in order to continue an active and social lifestyle. Whether it's at the office, an outdoor concert, grocery store, or airport, the R90 helps me alleviate shoulder stress so I can complete everyday tasks, as well as enjoy activities and social events with friends."
