FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I transport the F55 in a car?

Thanks to the flip up sub frame, the F55's pack size can be minimised within seconds: flip the frame, insert the steering tube and you will get a handy package that can be stowed away easily. If necessary, the sub frame and also the battery can even be fully detached.

How do you store the battery correctly (e.g. over winter)?

Store the battery in a dry, cool place at around 10 to 15 degrees. Ideally, the battery should be kept at a state of charge of roughly 75%. If it is stored for too long with little charge, the voltage inside drops so drastically that a deep discharge can occur, which permanently damages the battery.

How fast can I go with the F55?

Max. speed forward is 6 kph. Optional available is 10 kph or 15 kph.
Using the F55 with max. speed-settings higher than 6 kph is only permitted on public roads in certain countries and otherwise may only be used on private property.

To which wheelchairs does the F55 fit?

The F55 easily fits most manual folding and rigid wheelchairs. Please refer to the Compatibility Guide on the Sunrise Medical website. The Compatibility Guide indicates all chairs for which a Combination agreement exist. The list is an indication of wheelchair models the F55 can be mounted on. Please see also the section "Docking Information" in the Compatibility Guide. Here you  find even more information about what requirements have to be met to attach the F55 to your wheelchair. Frame shape, CoG, wheel-size and seat-depth are of influence. Additionally, a straight section of the frame tube of at least 35 mm is also necessary for the attachment of the clamps. Therefore it is essential to try and test it to be 100% sure! Or ask one of our team for more advice.

Where can I drive the F55 pull device?

The F55 is a small, versatile, very manoeuvrable and transportable pulling device that is intended for in- and outdoor usage. The 14" shows better offroad-capability, whilst the 8.5" version convinces with is very small turning circle in- and outdoor.

Which pulling device is the right one for me?

The model with the 14" wheel provides you a better ride comfort, more stability at high speed and an unbeatable offroad-capability that allows you to tackle almost every terrain. If you prefer the smallest pack size and greatest manoeuvrability, the version with the 8.5" is your choice. One thing is common to both: A carefree driving fun!
