NuDrive Air
INTRODUCING NUDRIVE AIR
NuDrive is an innovative new lever-drive propulsion accessory for manual wheelchair users. It will save your shoulders, while providing increased mobility. With NuDrive you don’t need to propel your chair by gripping the wheel rims by hand; instead, you can propel yourself forwards, backwards, maneuver and brake, simply by pushing the levers. No more gloves, dirty hands, peeling rims, and sore shoulders...NuDrive is as easy to use as it is to snap on your wheelchair.

WHAT IS IT?
NuDrive consists of two drive units and two wheel adaptors.
Its ‘Snap-Lock’ technology allows the wheel adaptor to be fitted in seconds, without altering any of the wheel configurations. Once in place, the lightweight design adds no width and can be left on the wheel, allowing for unhindered removal of the wheels if needed for transport. When you want to use NuDrive, the Drive Units can simply be clicked into place and then removed when finished.
LOOKS EASY - RIGHT?
It is! NuDrive Air enables easier forwards and backwards propulsion, maneuvering, and braking and features an inclusive control system that requires no hand or finger dexterity - all control is achieved thorough simple arm and shoulder movements.

To propel the chairTo propel the chair, first put NuDrive into ‘drive mode’ with an effortless outward flick of the levers. Once in ‘drive mode’ you can propel yourself forward simply by pushing the levers. To brake and steer, pull the levers inward, towards the body. NuDrive’s intuitive braking system also makes reversing easy: first return to ‘neutral mode’ with another outward flick of the levers, and then using the product brakes, grip and move the wheels in the desired direction. |

Wonderful Addition
The NuDriveAir levers are a tremendous help with propelling my chair. They say it says 40% of your energy, it seems even more than that to me! Very easy to add the adapters to your wheels and then the levers are just click & go. The levers allow for a more upright posture and better shoulder mechanics. I cannot recommend them enough!

I can say it’s put together good and very easy to assemble. NOTE: the company is European so expect shipping to take awhile
