How To Travel SDMotion Trike info

The SDMotion Trike is a fully electric joystick powered all terrain wheelchair.

As standard the SDMotion Trike comes with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery.

• Li-ion (25V x 11.8AH)
• Range: 30km / 18 miles
• Weight: 3.6kg
• Expiry: 8 year life from initial charge

A Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery is also compatible for use on the SDMotion Trike.

• Ni-MH (24V x 6.7AH)
• Range: 18km / 11 miles
• Weight: 2.9kg
• Expiry: No expiry age

Some SD Motion Trike users may prefer to have one of each battery, and the dual charger enables you to interchange between the Ni-MH and Lithium-ion batteries.

Both batteries are compact and have carry handles to make removing for charging or transporting easy.

Please get in touch if you need to replace or dispose of your battery and we can arrange this with you.
