Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Alber Viamobil V25 Wheelchair Power Pack suit you?
The viamobil V25 is a strong choice for carers who push a wheelchair in properly hilly places. It drives the chair up slopes of as much as 18% and brakes it on the way down, all from an ergonomic control on the push handle. It suits manual wheelchairs with a seat at least 36 cm wide, and the chair still folds as before.
As the V25 attaches to your own chair, a quick call is the best start. Ring free on 0800 169 1910 with the make, model and seat width. We will confirm the fitting and can arrange a showroom visit to go through it.

The Alber Viamobil V25 Wheelchair Power Pack in detail
Steep streets are where the viamobil V25 earns its place. This Alber power pack adds an electric drive wheel to an existing manual wheelchair, giving the attendant motor power for climbs and motor braking for descents of up to 18%.
What you get
- A compact battery good for as much as 20 km (about 12 miles)
- A centrally placed drive wheel, which keeps the chair handy to steer
- A drive wheel that lowers itself automatically when you switch on
- An ergonomic control handle with an on and off button and a battery level display
- A charger that adapts to the mains supply and switches itself off when charging is complete
Fitting and folding
The V25 suits most manual wheelchairs whose seat is 36 cm wide or more. Discreet brackets stay on the chair, and the unit goes on and comes off quickly, with no tools or special skills. A magnetic system guides the battery pack into position each time. Your wheelchair keeps its own features, folding included.
Confidence on slopes
On the way down, the motor holds the chair back so the person behind it can walk at a relaxed pace, even on rougher ground.
