The Firefly is an electric power add on that attaches to the front of most rigid frame wheelchairs and even some folding models of manual wheelchairs.
​   
Firefly is limited to a maximum speed of 8 mph at the factory but the limiter is easily removed to increase the speed to a maximum of 12.5 MPH.   

Firefly 2.0 Next Generation Model Enhancements:
​

• Changed from twist grip throttle with separate forward /reverse switch to individual forward and reverse thumb throttles making it easier for lefties and those who have limited wrist rotation.
• Changed from a 4 point attachment system to a simpler quick release 2 point attachment which greatly speeds up the attachment and detachment from the wheelchair.
• Improved dual disc and v breaking system
• New Improved lighter weight Lithium battery pack
• New improved frame design comes apart for transport and storage.

The Firefly battery lasts for over 3000 charge cycles, compared to only 500 cycles for a heavier lead-acid battery.  The Firefly is easy to control and manoeuvre with power brakes, reverse buttons and throttle all within easy reach. It can be driven both forward and in reverse giving the user maximum control in a variety of situations.

Fitting the Firefly is quick and easy and once attached it can be adjusted to suit a variety of users including both children and adults (Please consult your healthcare professional to verify whether use of the Firefly is appropriate with your medical condition.)  

Firefly fits most rigid frame wheelchairs and some folding frame chairs provided they dont have swing away legrests. 

The handcycle attachment system can be mounted to frame tube diameters 22.2mm, 25.4mm, 28.6mm, 30mm, 31.8mm and 34.9mm (7/8", 1", 1 1/8", 1.2", 1 1/4", 1 3/8”).    

We also offer alternative brackets to fit oval shaped tubing like that found on the Quickie Helium ,Xenon & Q7 models.  These are available as an accessory option.
​
The standard pack includes both a set of 1.25 inch clamps and a selection of shim sizes to reduce the clamp down to fit other sizes.  
Please contact us to discuss compatibility with your current wheelchair.
