Sunrise Medical Empulse R90 — Red Dot Award-Winning Power-Assist Device


The Sunrise Medical Empulse R90 is a sleek, ultra-compact push-assist device engineered to convert almost any rigid or folding manual wheelchair into a motorized powerhouse. Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, the R90 sits discreetly underneath your wheelchair seat. This keeps your chair’s original compact footprint and 360-degree turning circle completely intact. By automating propulsion with an intuitive, one-handed push-button wireless control box, it allows riders to travel longer distances, cruise up steep ramps, and navigate tough terrains while preventing upper extremity fatigue and shoulder strain. 

Whether navigating crowded stores or bustling airports, this lightweight power add-on maximizes your independence without adding bulk. 

Key Features:

  • Patent-Pending V-Lock System: Utilizes a secure, tapered latching system with an easy-grasp handle that allows users to effortlessly dock the device—often while remaining seated in the chair.

  • One-Touch "Wheel Up" Function: Transition back to manual mode in seconds; with a single button press on the control box or app, the drive wheel lifts off the ground for zero rolling resistance. 

  • Wireless Bluetooth Controls: Operated via a completely cordless, frame-mounted control box that features push-button cruise control, single-click acceleration up to 5.5 mph, and a large prominent safety stop button. 

  • Removable Airline-Compliant Battery: Features an easily swappable 36V Lithium-Ion battery setup. Choose between the travel-friendly standard battery (up to 9.8 miles of range) or the extended battery (up to 19.5 miles of range). 

  • Sunrise Intelligence App: Connects directly via smartphone to let you customize performance profiles (speed, torque, slope thresholds) for indoor or outdoor environments, while effortlessly tracking battery life and distance. 

  • Ultra-Lightweight Engineering: The durable R90 unit weighs just 13 lbs (without the battery), making it exceptionally easy to detach, lift, and pack into vehicles or air travel bags.
