Another big change for the new model is the MX2 + operation mode . Having trialled and used this mode for a few months now I love it . In MX2 + mode the SmartDrive is engaged by tapping twice on the push rims or another surface . Once engaged the SmartDrive will accelerate to the set maximum speed and then cruise at that speed . Two taps will disengage the SmartDrive . To cruise at a lower than maximum speed , simply do the initial two taps then once the desired cruising speed is reached do a single tap . The SmartDrive will cruise at that
speed . The MX2 + delivers no push required mobility !
The free App gives the user access to critical settings , displays information on the number of pushes , coast time and distance . It is a more user friendly interface , particularly for users with limited hand function . It also has the option of mapping journeys , which can also be shared with other users . Software and firmware updates for PushTracker and SmartDrive can also be done through the App .
Max Mobility continue to work on making the SmartDrive better and the MX2 + SmartDrive with PushTracker is another giant leap forward in using the best of modern technology to improve health and lifestyle outcomes for wheelchair users . It opens up opportunities to spend time with family and friends and to go places that were previously too hard .
The SmartDrive MX2 + PushTracker is available in Australia and New Zealand from Permobil Australia : permobil . com . au , call 1300 845 483 or email : info . au @ permobil . com
