Our DELTAGLIDE technology does more than just make using a wheelchair virtually effortless. It’s helping to maintain the independence of those who use it. With DELTAGLIDE technology in your chair, you put less stress on your arms, which helps prevent upper body problems. So you can keep doing what you love on your own terms.

How it works.

Using a patented hardware and software design, DELTAGLIDE senses how hard you push and amplifies your efforts as needed to make the chair feel as if it’s always moving on a flat, level surface, giving you optimum distance with little effort. For example, if you’re going up a hill or traveling across thick grass, DELTAGLIDE makes it seem almost effortless. The energy you expend is no different than traveling on a flat, level floor. That way you’re putting less stress on your body every day of your life.

Hills, ramps, grass and even gravel are not too tough for DELTAGLIDE. It does the work while you enjoy the ride.

How much energy do you use?

This chart demonstrates how our DELTAGLIDE technology enhances your mobility. As you can see, a chair without DELTAGLIDE requires a lot of energy and effort to maneuver. However, with DELTAGLIDE, it takes less energy to match and even exceed the distance produced by using your upper body alone.
