What makes the Yomper+ stand out?

In our video, Ashleigh Hall, Rehabilitation Consultant at Recare, takes a closer look at this versatile and compact wheelchair power add-on, designed for active users who require an element of powered assistance now and again.

Here are some of the features that impress us most:

✔️ Innovative 'Easy Go Box' - One of the best control systems we've seen. The separate control unit can be secured to the user's thigh with an elasticated strap, keeping the controls within easy reach and in clear view.

✔️ Smart positioning for better traction - Mounted centrally underneath the wheelchair, the Yomper+ provides excellent traction without increasing the overall length of the chair.

✔️ Impressive performance - Supporting users up to 150kg and offering a range of up to 34km on a single charge, thanks to its larger-capacity battery.

✔️ Intuitive safety features - Users can stop the Yomper+ by tapping the control box or simply applying resistance through the hand rims. The system detects this resistance and cuts power automatically which is particularly useful when encountering obstacles or uneven terrain.

✔️ Lightweight and portable - At just 5.8kg, it's easy to lift and transport, making it ideal for regular car journeys, taxi travel and days out.

✔️ Adaptable speed settings - With a top speed of 10kph and dedicated indoor and outdoor modes, users can tailor the power output to suit their environment.

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Richard Holland-Oakes, was honoured to present on Recare and the wider mobility and rehabilitation sector, sharing insights into the specialist equipment, technology and support available to enhance independence and daily life.

ReNU Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that affects how the brain functions, impacting learning, behaviour, speech and movement. Other common features can include short stature, microcephaly, visual loss, brittle bones and seizures.
