Our Verdict
The Yomper+ is a portable powered add-on for manual wheelchairs, ideal for users with reduced upper body function or to reduce fatigue in attendants and wheelchair users.
The Alber SMOOV One Power Assist is a similar lightweight powered add-on which can be attached to rigid and folding wheelchairs. The smartphone app allows users to control the SMOOV One Power Assist and view their travel information. Although the Yomper+ does not come with a smartphone app, it offers a more economical price point compared to the SMOOV One Power Assist.
If you have a greater budget, the Permobil SmartDrive MX2+ Power Add-On is a highly advanced powered add-on with a seamless user interface. The SmartDrive MX2+ can be turned on with a tap of a hand and controlled with an Android or Apple smartwatch. Flexibly fit the SmartDrive MX2+ with a wheel diameter of 22, 24, 25, or 26 inches, depending on your wheelchair. While the SmartDrive MX2+ is the costliest option when compared with the SMOOV One and Yomper+, the best power add-on is dependent on your budget and needs.
Overall, the Yomper+ is a versatile powered add-on compatible with rigid and folding wheelchairs. It is ideal for users who want a powered add-on with a seamless user interface and effortless portability.
