Extra power for slopes without the extra weight

You might have found that an entry-level power add-on manages flat pavements well but struggles on the hill up to the shops or the slope out of the car park. The Triride Special Light steps up the power noticeably, yet stays light, so it's still easy to fit and lift.

It attaches to the front of your own manual wheelchair and takes over the pushing. That means more energy for the things you actually went out for — and less wear on your shoulders.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• More power than the entry models
  900 W or 1,200 W with 50 Nm of torque (pulling force), so hills and harder ground feel much more manageable.

• Still light, from 8.5 kg
  No heavier than the entry Triride, so lifting it on and off the chair or into the car stays easy for you or a carer.

• Normal and Sport modes
  Gentle and predictable in Normal for busy pavements, or a livelier feel in Sport on open paths.

• Up to 50 km per charge
  Enough for a long day out, with a choice of 36 V or 48 V batteries.

• Choice of 12" or 14" wheel
  Go smaller for nimble handling indoors, or larger for a smoother roll over cracks and kerbs outdoors.

• Cruise control and five power levels
  Set the power for where you are and let cruise control hold your speed so your hand can relax.

• Reverse, regenerative and disc brakes
  Back out of tight spaces and slow down smoothly on steep downhill stretches.

• AllRoad version available
  Comes with an all-terrain tyre and carbon mudguard for gravel, grass and countryside paths.

Who it suits best

• Manual wheelchair users with hills on their regular routes
• People who've outgrown an entry-level add-on
• Anyone who wants more power but needs to keep the weight down

Worth knowing before you buy

The Special Light doesn't fold, so it's not the best pick if you need to pack it small for travel. For very steep or rough off-road ground, a high-torque or dedicated off-road power add-on will cope better. It also has to be matched to your wheelchair, so we'll check your chair before ordering.

Questions customers ask us

How is it different from the Triride Base?
It has a noticeably stronger motor and Normal/Sport modes, while weighing about the same — so it's the step up if hills are your main challenge.

Can I have a go on one?
Yes. Not every Triride is kept in stock, so please call us first to check — if it isn't here, we can usually arrange a demo model.
