Purpose & Benefits

The Benoit Systemes Light Drive Plus 2.1 Power Add-On is the heavy-duty upgrade of the acclaimed Light Drive 2.1, designed and manufactured in France. With four powerful 130W motors delivering friction drive to your wheelchair’s tyres, it transforms a manual wheelchair into a fully powered mobility solution controlled by a simple, intuitive joystick—requiring no physical effort to propel.

Ideal for navigating rough terrain, grassy surfaces, and inclines, the Light Drive Plus reaches speeds of up to 6.2 mph (9.98 km/h) and offers a generous range of up to 12.4 miles (19.96 km) thanks to its 18 Ah lithium battery. It attaches or detaches in seconds without tools and remains portable at just 16 kg—providing power and flexibility for active, independent users.
