Companion is compatible with nearly all major complex rehab wheelchair brands. Our patented mounting brackets are available for rigid frames and folding frames. We don't recommend Companion with type 1 wheelchairs as their frames are not strong enough for power add-on devices.

In most cases, Companion is NOT compatible with tilt-in-space wheelchairs. Some brands can be custom modified to fit our bracket.

Front-mount power add-ons are still considered as recreational devices by CMS. Companion is not coded for CMS funding. Though we're working on changing that as the industry updates the state-of-the-art, funding is likely still some time away. Some customers have been successful with private insurance converage. See our Funding Resources page for links to possible funding sources.

Yes, Companion has a built-in lithium battery that conforms to the UC 38.8 schedule of tests. The unit must be stored in the cabin, and cannot be stowed in cargo. However, airlines are allowed to develop their own policies of what they will or will not allow onboard, including for medical devices. Check our Airline Handling Instructions page for more information on travelling with your Companion.

Companion is an indoor-outdoor power add-on made to meet your basic and essential mobility needs. Though it is capable of outdoor terrain such as sidewalks, gravel trails, and manicured grass, it is not made for off-roading. If off-roading is your mobility objective, we recommend considering a larger front-mount option in combination with larger/wider wheelchair wheels. Companion is compatible with Batec mounts and can be used as part of a more comprehensive mobility combination.
