Click to zoomEmpulse R20 Caregiver Power Assist
Fits most folding and tilt-in-space chairs, including a standard steel one. The Empulse R20 is a power assist for the caregiver. It docks under the back of the chair and pushes at up to 3.1 mph, controlled from the push handle. Sunrise fits it to any box frame with tubing in range and fixed push handles. It folds with the chair.
Sunrise's R20 docks behind a folding or tilt-in-space chair and drives it for the caregiver at the push handles.
What stands out
The R20 is for the person behind the chair, a parent, partner or aide who pushes every day and feels it on slopes and long walks. It weighs 9.9 lbs., folds with a folding chair and rolls freely when the rider pushes, so most families leave it on. It has no brake and does not reverse, so on steep ground the attendant still controls the stop, and drum brakes on the chair help. If the rider wants to drive alone, look at the M90 or R90 instead.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- push someone in a folding or tilt-in-space chair of any make, steel included
- find hills or long distances hard on your back and arms
- want a device that stays on while the chair folds
Look elsewhere if you
- use a rigid chair, or one with folding push handles or none
- ride alone and want to drive the chair yourself
- need a device that brakes on steep ground

Before you order
Two measurements off your own chair
Sunrise sizes the R20's docking arm from your chair's seat width and its rear seat height together, so both numbers have to come off the chair the buyer actually uses.
