3 connected motors equals ‘ALL Wheel’ Drive, by MaxAbility.

#MaxAbility #nz #Freedom #standout #embracethestare #trirideintheworld #MTW
Our view is that this is a world first. True All Wheel drive that will take you over terrain you never thought was possible, as a wheelchair user. My brain has been ‘fried’ on the possibilities… The inventive, creative and constantly striving team at Triride HQ in Italy have released to the market the ‘All Wheel’ Drive Power Assist Solution. So lets break that down. 3 motors, with the ability to run front only, back only or when you have some serious off road terrain to engage all 3 together. We at MaxAbility are proud to announce that we have the very first Triride All Wheel Device, fresh of the Production Line… and yes it is in New Zealand and ready for trial. Compact HT at the front, a motor in each of the rear hubs, connected to a chair via its own axle and simplistic patented Triride clamp system. I am starting to geek my own self out with this one, but yes you can clearly get a sense of the excitement amongst the MaxAbility team. We are in the midst of field testing and all I will say is…’Wow’. Available as a package or as a retrofit… all we need is a wheelchair to attach it to 😊…and we can help out with one of them if needed also. Sit back and enjoy the video, shot at Shakespear Regional Park, Auckland.

On top of the world

Certainly an exhilarating experience @davisnick1016 - thanks for watching!

Thank the engineer and those responsible for making this game changer. I have been racking my brain out trying to figure out a configuration. This seems to be the answer for the places I go, fishing, camping, and just back dirt roads. With the motors in the back is it possible to detach from the front and push your way around a grocery store.? Also, can you dedicate a wheelchair just for the back Motors and replacing the original axle.? I can imagine the fun it would be in the snow or about four or five inches of powder. Thanks, Buckmaster.

[@maxabilitynz4645]

You’ve hit the nail on the head there Buckmaster. The Triride team develop their own technical advancements and accompanying electronics, thus the innovation. We’ll certainly pass on your comments. Yes you can push round a grocery store, once front bike is detached. The axel is slightly wider than your day wheels and dependent on the option you choose the wheel could be bigger and certainly with wider tread. No you can’t run the back wheels only. The front bikes electronics are connected to the rear wheels electronics. Once connected the front bike guides the usage of the device. As you will have seen from our other videos the ability to plow through soft sand is a massive game changer. We will be taking it in the snow during our next winter! Cheers, MaxAbility.

Nice bro your wheels

el sistema esta muy bien pero el precio es muy elevado

Where's the battery for the wheelchair wheels (is it that little "backpack")? What's the range on maximum assist with all 3 wheels working?

[@maxabilitynz4645]

Hey Sangi and thanks for your question. Yes correct the small backpack holds two batteries for the two motors sitting in each of the rear wheels. The range with all 3 motors engaged is +/- 40km… it depends of course on the kind of terrain you are engaging.

[@DerelictusAnima]

@@maxabilitynz4645 The all wheelchair idea is fantastic. Just the battery pack on the back of the chair is not good weight distribution wise + you lose space for your backpack etc..

[@syncrovanCos]

@@maxabilitynz4645 That's a game changer ! I wonder what's the maximum autonomy you could get with their best version with handbike assisted setup. I've read somewhere that you can reach 120 km of autonomy with double battery, on hybrid model. Will be cool if can have at least 80km range, maybe going most of the time in mode 1.

[@maxabilitynz4645]

@@syncrovanCos hey Syncro. Appreciate your question and it’s a good one. With dual batteries on the front and rear (or just front) +\- 80km is certainly achievable. We can mount dual batteries on a number of our models with MadMax and the Trocks versions being the main. Terrain, how aggressive the throttle is used, are also contributing factors. Trust that gives you more to think through.

[@reallyisitjustme]

I'm wondering now how this will work with the Triwheel?

[@maxabilitynz4645]

Hey ME on Wheels. We can attach the All Wheel Drive to all 'powered' Triride Bikes, including the Tribike. 🙂
