The Klaxon Twist systems redefine power-assists. Not simply to go further, but as systems that understand how you want to move by offering unmatched versatility with two models:
Klaxon Twist
Designed to adapt across different mobility needs, routines, and personalised riding styles. The Twist delivers the versatility to handle everyday travel and errands with ease.
It can be mounted at the rear or front of your wheelchair, with user or caregiver controls, or even with a convenient foldable handlebar. The Twist offers unmatched versatility with five unique configurations, combined with a powerful electric motor and lightweight frame, it ensures that you move with ease, freedom, and style. Weighing just 8.45 kg without battery (1.3 kg removable), The Twist is as portable as it is powerful. Its removable 144 Wh flight friendly battery allows you to travel carefree. A 750W motor, 360° rotating wheel, and solid tyres offer outstanding performance on every surface. From navigating city streets to doing daily errands, The Twist provides agility and reliability wherever you go.
Klaxon Twist R
A dedicated rear-mounted power assist device built for simple, efficient everyday mobility.
The Twist R combines low weight, reliable performance, and easy handling for smooth, effortless daily mobility. Designed exclusively for rear mounting, it provides seamless propulsion, making it one of the lightest power assist device available at just 6.97 kg without removable battery (1.3 kg). With intuitive controls, effortless connectivity, and a powerful motor capable of handling steep slopes, Twist R offers innovative design with unmatched stability and ease of use. Whether for everyday use or travel, it ensures convenience for those seeking a lightweight, rear mounted solution with maximum efficiency.
Both Twist systems connect to all types of manual wheelchairs, both rigid and folding, using the patented Linking System. The innovative, high-quality design of the linking system provides easy front and rear attachment with the audible latch acknowledgement ensuring you know when you are ready to go. The lateral linking system is designed for use with a fixed front frame when the central linking system is not suitable.
