Alber Erivo

The Alber Erivo takes a different approach to power assistance: rather than replacing your wheels or attaching a separate drive unit, it integrates smart sensors and motors directly into a specialised handrim system. When you push, the Erivo senses your effort and adds precisely calibrated electric power in response - so the chair still feels like a manual chair, but the effort required is dramatically reduced. This is power assist at its most natural and invisible. For active manual wheelchair users in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire who are beginning to experience shoulder fatigue or who are recovering from an upper limb injury, the Erivo offers a way to continue using their manual chair comfortably. It's also a long-term investment in shoulder health - reducing the cumulative strain that years of self-propulsion can cause. The system is Alber-built, so the engineering quality and reliability are what you'd expect from a leading assistive technology specialist.
