Powercheq

POWERDESIGNERS INTRODUCES A NEW TECHNOLOGY INTO THE DISABLED MOBILITY MARKET

Maggie Boyd, PowerDesigners, LLC.

MADISON, WI - PowerDesigners, LLC. is introducing a new product into the disabled mobility market. The product is called PowerCheq and it will enhance the performance of all types and brands of power wheelchairs using sealed batteries.

PowerDesigners identified some major concerns facing battery performance and set forth to find a solution. PowerCheq is the result of these efforts and it addresses such concerns as acceleration, wheelchair accessory drain on batteries, driving range, and battery performance and life.

PowerCheq increases acceleration and keeps it the same for the extended life of the battery. Wheelchair users can accelerate as fast as they want without worrying about wearing down their batteries.

Wheelchair accessories like laptops, ventilators, cell phones, medical devices, and headlights are hooked up to only one battery. They tend to drain on one battery more than the other; PowerCheq equalizes the batteries and prevents unequal drain.

The batteries are kept at the same operating capacity benefiting the user with increased acceleration, range and battery life. PowerCheq increases driving range by 20%, thereby making the chair more reliable, safe, and fun to travel in.

PowerDesigners is currently working with a few wheelchair manufacturers to install PowerCheq directly into the chairs. They are the frontrunners of this technology and are looking at establishing exclusive distribution rights with several major manufacturers.

PowerDesigners is located on 931 East Main Street, Suite 4 Madison, WI 53703. For further information about the company and their products, please contact PowerDesigners' Sales Department by phone (608-231-0450) or fax (608-231-9979). Or visit the PowerDesigners web site at http://www.powerdesigners.com.

Amigo

AMIGO - first power operated vehicle (POV)

Amigo BannerD.

First and Still the Finest

In 1968 Allan Thieme of Bridgeport, Michigan was dealing with the disability of a family member. He saw first hand the frustration that Multiple Sclerosis can cause a person. It was then that he recognized the need for a new and innovative way for people with walking difficulties to stay active and become more mobile.

It was this concern and persistence that led to the invention of a three-wheeled power operated vehicle (POV). An industry was created, the concept quickly caught on and thousands of people's lives were changed. The Amigo offered people a type of freedom, mobility and independence that had not been available before.
