Turn Your Manual Chair Into an Electric Cruiser
The Shield Innovations EZ Ride+ clips directly onto your existing manual wheelchair frame and instantly gives you motorized power β no need to invest in a heavy, permanent power chair. It locks onto standard frame geometries and delivers immediate, on-demand acceleration, so you can cover smooth or rolling outdoor terrain with confidence.
At just 30 lbs, this compact drive unit turns any standard 14"β22" wide manual chair into a genuine touring cruiser, with a top speed of up to 12 mph and a cruising range of up to 15 miles. A digital dash console, responsive hand brakes, and a treaded drive tire round out the package for neighborhood travel, community living, and getaways alike.
Key Features
- Three Programmable Speed Settings: Switch instantly between ECO (3 mph), MED (6 mph), and HIGH (12 mph) modes to match your environment.
- 360Β° Pivot Agility: Center-steering design lets the converted chair spin in place for tight indoor maneuvering.
- Strong Incline Climbing: The 36V electric transaxle delivers enough torque to handle ramps and hills up to 30 degrees.
- All-Terrain Treaded Tire: A large rubber drive wheel provides reliable traction over park walkways and packed paths.
- LED Dash Console: Real-time readout of speed setting, velocity, battery voltage, and cumulative mileage.
- Complete Safety Package: Includes a responsive hand brake, progressive throttle lever, adjustable headlight, and safety horn.
- Travel-Friendly Design: Handles fold down for space-saving transit, a built-in kickstand keeps the unit upright when detached, and brake positioning adjusts with the included multi-tool.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The EZ Ride+ fills a real gap between pushing a manual chair by hand and investing in a full 300 lb power chair β at just 30 lbs, it clamps onto your existing frame using high-strength hardware and detaches in seconds with a quick-release lock. The 12 mph high mode is the standout feature here, offering a genuinely sporty ride quality closer to an electric bike than a typical mobility aid, while still letting your chair fold back down to its normal profile once the unit is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this track safely across unpaved outdoor surfaces?
A: Yes. The deep-tread rubber drive tire grips well on paved asphalt trails, packed lawns, and brick walkways. To protect motor efficiency and maintain traction, loose beach sand and deep gravel are not recommended.
Q: Does the clip-on design affect my ability to fold or lift my manual chair?
A: Not at all. The EZ Ride+ attaches via a dual-receiver clamp block, and a quick-release lock lets you detach the 30 lb drive module completely when loading your chair into a vehicle. Your chair keeps its native folding design for easy storage.
Q: Why lithium battery technology instead of lead-acid?
A: A lead-acid battery capable of driving 12 mph speeds would typically weigh 25β40 lbs on its own. The EZ Ride+'s 36V 350Wh lithium cell matrix delivers that same power in a fraction of the weight, charges in under 4 hours, and holds its voltage output reliably over thousands of miles.
