An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2017:

I have a client who couldn’t push his manual [chair] more than 40 feet and needed power, but didn’t have a vehicle to transport the power. The new SmartDrive MX2 power assist has solved that problem for him. He is so excited to be able to keep up with his friends and even go faster than them. They now have to keep up with him….

— Toby Bergantino, ATP, Numotion

I look at power assist in two categories: push assist and self propel. The [best] self propel is without a doubt the SmartDrive. With the new model having connectivity to an app on the phone, it’s really expanded its capabilities in customization and tracking.

An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2016:

Smart Drive is my Best Pick for power assist because of ease of use for my clients. It is the lightest weight and most portable power-assist device that I have seen. It can be used wherever the client goes without any restrictions. It does not add any weight to the client’s wheelchair and can be used when needed and not used when not needed. It is so versatile and easy to use for the client as well. It is very intuitive and I think every active manual wheelchair user should have one!

— Erica Walling, PT, Brooks Rehab

An ATP & Clinician Best Pick of 2015:

A wonderful alternative to power wheels, lighter and easier for many users who need to take the power-assist on and off, like folks who use cars, not vans.

— Sharon Frant Brooks, MA, OTR/L, ATP/SMS, CRTS, Acclaimed Healthcare, Lakewood, N.J.

Loving the new version of the Smart Drive. It’s so simple to operate and much easier now that less has to be mounted to the wheelchair and there isn’t a separate battery. My clients appreciate the light weight and ease of loading into their vehicles.
