Effortless Everyday Travel
Designed to automate your wheels, the M90 effectively reduces fatigue when using a manual wheelchair for long periods. Whether you are going uphill, across grass, or covering longer distances, the 150-watt motor and lithium-ion battery power your wheelchair for up to 9.3 miles.
The Empulse M90 is operated without bulky components or wires; simply drive with a removable joystick or propel with the handrim. The joystick creates an intuitive design, allowing users to precisely manoeuvre. Switch between the indoors and outdoors mode, or activate the Cruise Control when going uphill, downhill or long distances.
Lightweight and Compact by Design
Weighing just 5.3 kg per wheel, excluding battery, the Empulse M90 is conveniently ultra-lightweight to preserve the manoeuvrability of your wheelchair. Its IATA-certified lithium battery is extremely lightweight at just 0.6 kg, but it powers the M90 for up to 9.3 miles. The clever folding mechanism allows you to remove and store it compactly, making it perfect for car travel or storing in small spaces. It's quick to attach and detach, ideal for users with active lifestyles.
Customised to your Comfort
Users can customise the handrim and tyre around their preferences and needs, as the M90 fits with any handrim and 24-inch tyre. With a maximum user weight capacity of 100 kg, the M90 effectively supports most wheelchair users.

The M25 can be ideal for users who want more power when travelling on inclined slopes or gravel. While the E-Motion M25 provides greater power, the M90 is lighter and easier to transport. Each E-Motion M25 power wheel weighs 7.8 kg, whereas the Empulse M90 only weighs 5.3 kg per wheel. The Empulse M90 is also more cost-effective compared to the E-Motion M25. Overall, the E-Motion M25 is best for users who need performance for tough terrains and long journeys, while the Empulse M90 is a more suited option for users who prioritise seamless portability.
The Decon E-Move Power Add-On can be a great alternative for users who would like to customise their wheel size according to their lifestyle and preferences. The E-Move is available in five different wheel sizes: 16, 20, 22, 22 and 24 inches. Additionally, the E-Move supports up to 130 kg, offering greater support compared to the Empulse M90. The heavy-duty version of the E-Move is also available and supports up to 150 kg. However, each E-Move power wheel is 7 kg, which is slightly heavier than the Empulse M90. The E-Move is an ideal option if you require greater support and varying wheel sizes.
