Alber E-Fix (Starting at $14,204)

More freedom in daily life.

Thanks to its incredible manoeuvrability, the e-fix is the ideal companion, especially indoors. Turning on the spot and manoeuvring in confined spaces are its speciality. Take a seat and discover a new degree of freedom within your own four walls.

The e-fix is also very easy to push by hand if the situation requires it: just uncouple the drive wheels with a simple movement and your wheelchair can be propelled manually in the usual way – either by using the outer wheels for the hands or by another person pushing.

Convenient technology on the move.

A big advantage of the e-fix is its low weight. This makes it very easy to load into a car. Just undo the quick-release device and the e-fix components can be removed from the wheelchair in a moment, without the need for any tools.

No part weighs more than 9 kg.

Once dismantled, the e-fix finds space in the back of any car. It‘s just as quick and easy to reassemble when at your destination.

Made to measure like your wheelchair.

The e-fix control unit can be attached to the wheelchair to suit both right- and left-handed people. The e-fix driving properties can be programmed accordingly to meet your needs and wishes.

There is a comprehensive range of accessories to make life easier for you and to provide more comfort.

The optional drive wheels with more power can make light work of kerbstones, thresholds or upwards slopes. Or choose the more powerful battery if you want to cover greater distances and so increase your radius of action.

Additional accessories:

Spoke covers, various joystick options, extended hand rest and much more! Alber or your local dealer would be glad to give you detailed information on the wide range of accessories.

You can rely on the e-fix.

Can I use e-fix on my wheelchair?

How fast does the e-fix travel?

You can continuously vary the maximum speed of the e-fix between 1.2 and 6 kph. Thus you can find your optimum travelling speed in safety.

Is the e-fix only intended for “self-drivers”?

No! The holder that is available as an accessory allows the control unit to be installed in the push handles of the wheelchair. The e-fix thus makes it easier for the attendant to push the chair. The intuitive attendant control (accessory) makes operation by another person really easy.

How far can I travel with one charging of the battery?

Depending on the weight of the person, the sort of terrain, the temperature, the wheelchair settings and the surface of the ground, one charging of the battery is good for up to 16 km (10 miles).
