Description
Klaxon Twist R Rear-Mounted Wheelchair Power Add-On
The Klaxon Twist R adds powered assistance to a compatible manual wheelchair. It mounts behind the chair, leaving the front clear and allowing you to steer using your handrims while the motor helps propel you.
At just 6.97 kg without the battery, the Twist R is a compact option to consider if you want assistance on everyday outings and regularly remove your add-on for transport or storage. It can also be configured with an attendant control for journeys where someone helps you.

Will the Twist R fit my wheelchair?
Compatibility depends on your wheelchair’s make, model and frame setup. We’ll check the mounting points and rear clearance, and discuss how you’ll reach the controls, steer and attach or remove the unit. If someone helps you on some journeys, we can also discuss whether an attendant control would be useful.
Can I fly with the Twist R?
The Twist R has a removable 144 Wh battery. If you plan to fly, check with your airline before travelling to confirm its requirements for your wheelchair, add-on and battery.
Why buy from Unique Mobility?
We start with your wheelchair and the journeys you want to make. Where a demonstration is available, we’ll help you try the controls and see how the Twist R connects to your chair. We can advise on fitting and setup, with ongoing support through our teams in Exeter, Plymouth and Launceston.
If you need additional postural or seating support, we can also discuss a specialist assessment with our in-house Occupational Therapist, including pressure mapping where appropriate.
