WheelDrive vs E-Motion M25
The maximum user weight and total weight are different for the WheelDrive and the E-Motion M25 even though they are similar products. The WheelDrive can have a maximum user weight of 130kg then total weight including the chair wheels etc is only an extra 30kg at 160kg. The E-Motion M25 has a maximum user weight of 150kg, 20kg more then the WheelDrive and can have a maximum weight up to 190kg which is an extra 40kg and also 30kg more than the WheelDrive which could draw more customers to choosing the E-Motion M25 power wheels.
Both come with batteries and a charger as standard. The wheel drive only has the 24” wheels whereas the E-Motion M25 has 3 different sizes from 22” 24” and 26” which makes it more appealing to customers who may want a different size wheel for their chair.

The Wheeldrive can go between 6 km-10km/h and the E-Motion M25 can go 6km/h but you would need a package plus to be able to go 8.5km/h.
Considering that the E-Motion M25 has a lot of specifications better than the WheelDrive, it is noted that the E-Motion M25 takes a considerably longer amount of time to fully charge at 6 hours and the WheelDrive only takes a ⅓ of that time at 2 hours. This can be argued as the E-Motion M25 does come with a slightly larger battery to the WheelDrive.
