How does SmartDrive work with a wheelchair?

www.gaylord.org The SmartDrive is a revolutionary power assist device that will change your life. It is intuitive to use, lightweight, and easy to install. The entire system weighs only 12.5 lbs. which is almost half that of a traditional power assist wheels and attaches to the back of almost any manual wheelchair, including folding chairs.
It’s very simple and straightforward in how it functions. The sideways rollers allow the motor to glide effortlessly on the ground allowing for spins and quick turns, and when it’s not powered on it freewheels just like a bike. Essentially, you can do everything you do without the SmartDrive on your wheelchair, only better.
To see if the SmartDrive will work with your wheelchair make an appointment at Gaylord's Wheelchair Assessment Services by calling: [phone]. For more information about the SmartDrive call: [phone], and for info on our Wheelchair Assessment Services online: www.gaylord.org/Our-Programs/A...

This is so much more helpful than the perimobil video. I could not figure out how to make it work.

How much do they cost

[@GaylordHealthcare]

A Smart Drive is a power assist device that can be attached to a manual or rigid manual wheelchair. It acts like cruise control for the wheelchair where once the motors are engaged, all that is required of the user is to steer their chair and adjust the speed. The MSRP cost for the unit is $7529.00. Insurance may cover the cost of a Smart Drive in some instances if a user has been an ultra lightweight manual wheelchair user for greater than one year.

While the SmartDrive system is rather nice and reasonably functional, the $4000 to nearly $7000 price tag is beyond outrageous... I can get a fully functional brand new scooter for less than that. How dare you gouge the hell out of those who already have limited mobility! Especially when anyone with a modicum of intelligence can clearly see when you are charging three to five times what it is worth... I can build an equally functional system for less than half of what you are charging and *STILL* make a reasonable profit!

Hi Edward, as a rehabilitation hospital we don't sell the SmartDrive. We are only committed to trying to offer patients information about equipment and technology that might improve their quality of life.

Get on it Edward and make lots of people happy.
