E-Motion M25 Wheelchair Wheels by Alber
Simply replace your current wheelchair wheels with the e-motion wheels. The e-motion has a powerful in-hub motor and li-ion batteries.

The idea behind the e-motion is simple: You can add the e-motion drive wheels to almost any wheelchair using two discrete adapters. While moving, sensors built into the push rims measure your drive movement and provide you with the desired power. This allows you to move, steer and brake your wheelchair with very little effort. With a weight of only 17 lbs. per drive wheel, the e-motion is one of the lightest active add-on drives available.

The concept behind the e-motion is clear: with two separate adapters, you can attach the e-motion drive wheels onto almost any wheelchair.

e-Motion M25 Power-Assist Wheelchair Wheels Pair Buyer’s Guide
The e-Motion M25 Power-Assist Wheelchair Wheels offer an advanced mobility solution designed to make manual wheelchair propulsion easier and less physically taxing. By integrating electric motors directly into the wheel hubs, these power-assist components amplify every push applied to the hand rims. This system allows manual wheelchair users to maintain their mobility and active lifestyle while significantly reducing strain on their shoulders, arms, and wrists.
Power-Assist Motorized Hub Technology
At the core of these innovative wheels is a compact, brushless electric motor built into the central hub. When the user pushes on the hand rims, sensitive sensors detect the applied force and immediately trigger the motorized assistance. This proportional force multiplication means that climbing steep ramps, navigating carpet, or traveling long distances requires only a fraction of the physical effort usually needed for standard manual push-rim propulsion.
Customizable Push-Rim Sensitivity and Control
Every mobility user has different strength levels and driving preferences, which is why the push-rim sensor response can be adjusted. Through customizable driving profiles, users can tweak how quickly the assist kicks in and how much power it delivers. The system can even account for asymmetrical arm strength, allowing for separate power adjustments on the left and right wheels to ensure smooth, straight-line tracking with minimal correction effort.
Lightweight Quick-Release Wheel Construction
Despite housing sophisticated electronics and batteries within the wheel assembly, the e-Motion M25 features a streamlined, lightweight design. The wheels utilize a quick-release axle mechanism, making them easy to detach from the wheelchair frame without tools. This design choice ensures that the wheelchair remains easy to disassemble, fold, and transport in standard vehicle trunks or backseats without sacrificing overall portability.
Integrated Battery System and Range Efficiency
The wheels feature long-lasting lithium-ion batteries sealed inside the hub, eliminating the need for bulky external battery packs or complex wiring along the wheelchair frame. Magnetic charging connectors allow for easy, hassle-free plug-ins overnight. On a full charge, the energy-efficient system provides ample range for full-day outings, giving users the confidence to explore outdoor environments without worrying about losing assistance mid-journey.
Smartphone Connectivity and Ergonomic Drive Modes
Modern connectivity adds a layer of convenience to daily operation through a dedicated mobile app. Users can monitor battery status, track speed, and switch between different drive modes directly from their smartphone. Features like a hill-descent control function help manage speed when going down inclines, while a roll-back delay feature prevents the wheelchair from slipping backward when starting on a slope.
e-Motion M25 Power-Assist Wheelchair Wheels Review
The e-Motion M25 Power-Assist Wheelchair Wheels provide an ideal middle ground between standard manual wheelchairs and full-sized power chairs. Featuring intelligent motorized hubs, responsive push-rim sensors, and convenient quick-release removal, these wheels deliver reliable propulsion support without compromising the flexibility of a manual frame. By protecting shoulder health and expanding physical endurance, the e-Motion M25 empowers users with greater independence and daily mobility.

Long-lasting and Highly Reliable Power
I moved to the e-motion after the iGlide was discontinued ( now produced as Tailwind https://livingspinal.com/power-assists/tailwind-power-assist-wheelchair/ ).
I've had my e-motions over FIVE YEARS and they still hold up.
The bad: The rims are coated, but know they are customized to affix to the springs in the wheel. About those springs, under day-to-day use they hold up well, but they break when manhandled like we typically do with our chairs. Replacing the springs, well pretty much any maintenance, is fairly technical and complex. Make sure you have someone who can do the maintenance.
The ugly: These jokers are HEAVY! If you are looking at them as a pop-on/off alternative to go between manual and powered, know that the mounts will add some weight to your chair. Oh, the mounts also mean you'll say adios to and camber. My minor annoyance is the indicator lights. They are REALLY BRIGHT and I've had too many folks ask about them, so i fixed it with electric tape. The electronics are complex and when mechanisms go glitchy troubleshooting is sometimes frustrating.
The good: The e-motion is a remarkable step forward in independence. I've seen a woman with extremely limited mobility propel her chair up a ramp with her fingertips. I prefer to do some work, but not be slowed down by hills or carpet. I can fly from sidewalk to grass with my dog on leash with remarkable ease. ( yes, i wrote remarkable again ). The wheels are smart enough to keep me from rolling uncontrollably down hill. With the dials ( you not really need to pay for the obnoxiously large controller but may find it more convenient ) I can go from my house to the city streets with a few clicks. Finally, we can switch out to my manual wheels within five minutes.
If you're looking for more independence but do not want to be constrained by the size of a power chair these are a wonderful option. For the stronger customer who just needs some help and tosses your chair around, consider the Twion or SmartDrive instead.
