viamobil – pushing and braking made easy

Push and brake aid for wheelchairs

viamobil – the powerful push and brake aid for your wheelchair

viamobil makes easy work of pushing but also braking a wheelchair. The huge effort involved in uphill and downward slopes and ramps is now a thing of the past. Enjoy greater independence day in, day out – whenever and most important wherever you want.

 

”Finally, I can get out and about again with my family and enjoy the outdoors. Fantastic."

Helmut K. from Konstanz

Power-saving and simple

An electric add-on drive is retrofitted to your existing wheelchair. The powerful electric motor takes the strain off the attendant, giving a new lease of life to your mobility. The viamobil can be combined with virtually any kind of wheelchair. Simply select the wheelchair most suited to you, depending on the right therapeutic considerations, and add viamobil to it. The viamobil is quick and easy to fit, requiring no tools or technical knowledge. A bracket simply has to be fitted on your wheelchair in advance by your medical product retailer or Alber to which viamobil can be attached with ease.
