Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Alber Emotion DuoDrive suit you?
DuoDrive suits the self-propelling user who wants two kinds of help in one set of wheels. Push the hand rims and sensors add power to each stroke. Switch to Cruise mode and the wheels hold a constant speed, so all you do is steer, a real help on long stretches and inclines. Turning the control knob slows or stops you.
The wheels replace the rear wheels on a standard wheelchair and may need a bracket, so let us check yours. Call free on 0800 169 1910 with the make and model, or arrange to bring the chair to a showroom and we will go through sizes and fitting together.

The Alber Emotion DuoDrive in detail
Power from a single push, or a steady cruise with no pushing at all. The Alber e-motion DuoDrive is a pair of motorised wheels that take the place of the self-propel wheels on a standard wheelchair.
What you get
- Hand-rim sensors that read your movement and supply the power you are asking for
- Cruise mode, which keeps a consistent speed while you simply steer
- Two assistance levels, one for indoors and one for outdoors, adjustable to your driving style
- Efficient motors and lithium-ion batteries housed in the wheel hubs
- A chair-mounted control with Bluetooth, a large button and a rotary knob
- A maximum speed of 6 km/h
Simple control
A single press of the large button starts Cruise mode, and another press ends it. Turning the knob slows the chair and brings it to a halt. Cruise mode saves your energy on longer distances and on slopes.
Weight and options
Each wheel weighs 7.8 kg, which places DuoDrive among the lightest powered add-ons in the Alber range. Wheels come in 22, 24 and 25 inch sizes. Chargeable extras include the Mobility Plus app package, puncture-proof and Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, coated or ergonomic push rims and spoke covers.
