Sunrise Medical is proud to announce the launch of the Empulse® F35! As one of the very few MDR-compliant micro power assist pull devices on the market, urban mobility gets a sleek upgrade with the F35. Seamlessly blending form and function, it offers the perfect balance of style, agility, and power for navigating city streets. Lightweight and ultra-portable, it's the ideal companion for effortless mobility and travel.
Sunrise Medical's smallest and lightest pull device ever
Thanks to its all-in-one slim frame, foldable handle, and compact size of 915 x 240 x 180 mm (36” x 9.4” x 7.0”)* - the F35 is only slightly longer than a classical stick umbrella. With a weight of 9 kg (19.8lb) it weighs about 30% less than traditional power assist pull devices**. And with 7.5 kg (16.5lb) transport weight only, this space-saving miracle redefines the concept of portability.
Dynamic and safe driving
Nimble enough to turn in one go even in small elevators and up to 15 km (9.3 mi) range thanks to its 4Ah batteries and Intelligent Battery Management-System, the F35 offers exactly what is needed for inner-city drives. Riders can choose from 3 speed options ranging from a leisurely 6 kph (3.7 mph) to a speedy 15 kph (9.3 mph). 3 profiles (Slow, Std, Fast) ensure the best acceleration on different surfaces and avoid spinning wheels. The cruise control keeps a steady speed uphill and down. Being MDR compliant and certified to all EN12184 applicable standards makes it a reliable and safe choice. And for those with a sense of adventure, the F35 is flight-friendly thanks to the IATA-certified battery which remains in the device and leaves space in hand luggage for personal belongings***.
Two Ways of Docking – one that fits every situation
The F35 provides a one-motion docking for quick stops around town as it easily detaches the F35 from the subframe only and attaches in seconds for instant go. But it also allows to effortlessly transition from wheelchair to car, couch, or bed with easy-to-use clamps that remove the entire unit including the subframe from the wheelchair.
Packed with smart features and accessories
The F35 comes with great features, including a dual braking system (a proportional electronic brake and a drum brake) and a parking brake. The bright LED light blends seamlessly into the F35’s design, and the USB charging port, car charging adapter, and lock are useful tools for everyday life.
Find the Pull Device that suits your needs
With this new addition to the Empulse family, riders now have even more options to pick the perfect option for their ride as all of them fit most rigid or folding wheelchairs (combination agreements available for non-Sunrise Medical wheelchairs).
- F35 – With a range of up to 15 km (9.3 mi) it offers the perfect balance between range and portability as it is super compact and 4 kg lighter than an F55. Thanks to the IATA-certified battery, it’s ideal for commuters seeking a convenient solution for short- (and long!) distance travel. The F35 can be easily removed from the subframe with a quick one-motion docking mechanism – ideal for multiple stops throughout the day.
- F55 – Lightweight, with plenty of built-in adjustments and compared with the F35 with an increased range of up to 25 km (15.5 mi), suitable for both urban and outdoor use. Bigger dimensions than an F35 but is still compact enough to fit neatly in the trunk of a car as well as spaces at home. Similar docking mechanism to the F35 but without the quick one-motion docking mechanism to remove the device from the subframe.
- StreetJet – Designed for outdoor adventures, with a range of up to 50 km (31 mi) and the ability to handle rough terrain. It features a simple one-touch clamp docking system with no parts left on the wheelchair. It’s packed with personalized control features and styling options but has limited transportation options due to its size. But the best is, for riders with limited hand function, the available tetra option makes it an ideal solution in combination with the one-touch clamps.
- Attitude Hybrid & Power – The largest and most robust pull device in the Sunrise Medical portfolio. Suitable for off-road excursions and outdoor recreation as it offers a very rigid connection to the wheelchair and therefore a very comfortable ride. Limited transportability due to its size and weight but with up to 120 km for the Hybrid version the longest range in the Empulse segment.
