Klaxon Twist Features
Versatile Mounting: Twist transitions between rear (push) and front (pull) configurations entirely at ground level—no lifting required. This dual-mount capability reduces physical strain and adapts to any environment.
Precision in Tight Spaces: When rear-mounted, Twist offers a compact footprint ideal for indoor navigation. Smart Speed Behavior enhances the ride by matching power to your desired speed and adjusting when you steer, slow, or stop.
Outdoor Performance: In its front-mount configuration, Twist lifts the casters off the ground for a smoother, more stable ride over varied terrain, giving you the freedom to confidently travel longer distances and clear obstacles.
Smart Control: Climb Assist Mode provides a consistent drive experience on inclines. The Klaxon® App offers intuitive control over speed, braking, and power settings, allowing you to fine-tune the driving experience to your preference.
Effortless Connection: The patented Linking System Klaxon® allows Twist to connect to all types of manual wheelchairs, both rigid and folding. An audible latch ensures you know when the connection is secure and you are ready to go.

The Klaxon Twist Power Assist by Ki Mobility is an innovative electric propulsion attachment designed to convert a standard manual wheelchair into a motorized mobility device. Engineered for quick engagement and portability, this compact drive unit links directly to the front of a manual frame to reduce the physical strain of long-distance pushing. By introducing motorized drive capabilities, the system expands individual freedom while preserving the familiar footprint of a manual chair.
Klaxon High-Efficiency Electric Motor Performance
At the center of this drive unit is a high-torque electric motor engineered to deliver consistent power across diverse terrains. Whether navigating steep outdoor inclines, grassy fields, or thick carpeting, the Klaxon drive system provides the necessary forward force to overcome resistance effortlessly. The motor operates quietly and efficiently, drawing power from a lightweight lithium-ion battery optimized for extended daily travel ranges.

Adaptive Power Assist Drive Capabilities
This advanced power assist technology is designed to bridge the gap between manual independence and motorized utility. The system features adjustable speed settings and responsive throttle controls that allow the driver to modulate acceleration based on their immediate environment. This level of control ensures smooth transitions in tight indoor spaces while allowing for rapid, steady cruising on open public pathways.
Compact and Lightweight Wheelchair Integration
Unlike bulky traditional power add-ons, this sleek drive unit maintains a remarkably compact profile that respects the user's space. The entire assembly is lightweight, making it easy to lift, detach, and store in a vehicle trunk or rear seat for travel. When connected to the wheelchair, the central drive wheel aligns perfectly with the front casters, preserving tight turning radiuses and agility inside crowded rooms or narrow hallways.
Ergonomic Steering and Control Console
The user interface is designed with a strong focus on ergonomics and accessible handling. The central handlebars provide comfortable hand placement, minimizing upper extremity fatigue during extended journeys.
