Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Alber Viaplus V12 Wheelchair Power Pack suit you?
The viaplus V12 is made for carers and nursing staff who push a larger comfort wheelchair, in particular the Invacare Rea Azalea and Rea Clematis. It tucks under the frame and drives the chair for you, with one-handed control on the push handle and automatic braking. The tilt and recline functions of the chair carry on working as normal, and a pedal engages or frees the drive wheels.
Compatibility is the key question, so please call free on 0800 169 1910 and tell us which chair you have and its seat height. We will check the match and can arrange a showroom visit to talk it through.

The Alber Viaplus V12 Wheelchair Power Pack in detail
Comfort wheelchairs are wonderfully supportive and take some pushing, which is where the viaplus V12 helps. Alber shaped this drive unit to sit low beneath Invacare Rea Azalea and Rea Clematis chairs with a 45 cm seat height.
What you get
- Electric drive that takes over the effort of pushing
- Automatic braking for secure control
- A clearly marked, non-slip control on the handle that works with one hand
- A sprung drive that keeps the wheels on the ground over bumps, for a quiet and comfortable ride
- A pedal that engages and disengages the drive wheels at a touch
- A rechargeable battery mounted discreetly under the seat, with a charger that adjusts to mains voltage
Works with the chair
Because the unit is so low, the seat tilt and backrest recline stay fully usable. The control fits to the comfort chair's push handle, and the V12 can simply stay in place after an outing.
Transport
When the chair needs to travel, the viaplus V12 comes apart into three pieces without tools in a few minutes, ready for a car boot or luggage compartment.
