Overview

With the Firefly 2.5 , you can travel just about anywhere! Regain your freedom by taking it over grass and hills. Travel with the Firefly 2.5 on airplanes and store it in the overhead bin.

The Firefly 2.5 attaches to most wheelchairs. Download our chair fit guide.

There is an installation process that typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour. Check out the video on how to dock the new crossbar assembly. After the initial installation process is completed, the device latches on and off your wheelchair in seconds.

The full color, high resolution TFT LCD screen with haptic-touch feedback buttons provides you with information such as current status of the battery, distance traveled, mode and speeds. Separate color coded forward and reverse thumb throttles with silicone anti-slip grips and bar ends ensures that you are in complete control. People that have limited hand dexterity will find that the lock-on handlebar grips will greatly increase their ability to keep their hands in place while riding. The throttle position is also adjustable, so that users who have a hard time pressing throttles can customize it to their needs.

A new feature of the controller allows the top-speed of the Firefly to set according to the user’s needs. This allows for a range of customizability to the needs of the user. Users with a safety-minded daily routine, users who have difficulty controlling a fast power-assist, or users who want to primarily ride indoors will feel far more comfortable with a lower governed speed.

The 350W, 36V geared, brushless hub motor with reinforced hybrid nylon / steel gears can take you up to 12 miles per hour (it goes!), or travel at lower speeds, allowing you to maneuver around buildings and stores with ease by choosing between the 5 speed modes. A removable Panasonic Ga 20 Cell, 36V, 7Ah, 252Wh lightweight (4 lbs / 1.81 kgs) lithium ion battery gives you 15+ miles / 24+ kilometers of range with a charge time of 3 hours if it is fully discharged. Rio Mobility is one of only a few electric wheelchair attachment manufacturers that has a 252 Watt-hour battery that is UN tested and is certified to be taken as carry-on luggage on most airlines. Purchase a spare battery to increase your range.

The quick-release center docking frame comes apart easily without tools for compact transportation in a car, plane, or for storage. Dual rolling kickstands provide you with an easier parking and storage experience.

WHAT WE DO

We offer high quality, lightweight and easy to use wheelchair attachments that significantly increase the outdoor experience of wheelchair users at a cost that is two to three times lower than most competing products.

Regain your Freedom

WE UNDERSTAND

Propelling a manual push-rim wheelchair is very tiring and inefficient, and often impossible on steep inclines or rough terrain. This is very frustrating and limits the mobility of most wheelchair users. Wheelchair users want to take strolls with friends, spend the day shopping, travel to new places and do more.

Dream Bigger

THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN

We have developed a range of wheelchair attachments that are lightweight, easy to attach, easy to transport, and can be quickly attached to nearly all common wheelchair models and designs. The attachments allow wheelchair users to travel faster, more efficiently, go further and to navigate a far greater range of terrains than would be possible by push-rims.

Travel Better

OUR MISSION

We extend the outdoor range of wheelchair users by designing, manufacturing and offering state of the art wheelchair attachments.

Enhance your Wheelchair

Is my wheelchair compatible?

It is compatible with most wheelchairs. Check out our compatibility guide.

What is the range?

The Firefly 2.5 offers a range of 12-13 miles per charge, but you can always purchase a secondary battery to double the range.

How fast is it?

The Firefly 2.5 can go up to 12 MPH / 19 KPH with five speed settings.

Does insurance cover it?

The Firefly 2.5 is considered a recreational device, however some plans may reimburse for recreational wheelchair attachments. Check with your provider for details.

Testimonials

I recently purchased a Firefly. I had also purchased an older model several years ago and it changed our lives! I love the freedom it gave us to explore and travel without my wife having to push my chair. I had over 135 miles on my old Firefly.

Yesterday my wife assembled my new Firefly using your YouTube assembly video as a guide. It was a breeze! Kudos for the excellent instructions! We love the ease of installation of this newer model. It hooks onto my chair in seconds. The older model could be a little cumbersome attaching all 4 latches, but it did work well for us.

We have so far researched a lot of the Northern Oregon coast, from Astoria down to Florence. During my time using the firefly I have had several people ask me about it. The Firefly is a product I love and truly believe in. Your improvements have been phenomenal.

Thanks so much for designing the Firefly!

Rob & Leesa P.

We traveled the world before, but the Firefly has changed everything with how we explore so much more. Our lives are so much richer with the Firefly.

The Firefly has improved my mobility in ways I can hardly verbalize. My husband is no longer bound to PUSHING me and we can move along SIDE BY SIDE, or he can carry luggage and children instead of helping me navigate a store or the airport.

While we traveled a lot before, I have so much more freely traveled the cobblestone streets of Germany and the marble pavers of the DC monuments with the Firefly, now able to keep up with my young children (who often try to hitch a ride).

I just wanted to share with you that I turned 3,500 miles on my firefly today! I had no idea when I received my firefly back in November 2013 how much it would help me in my life!

Without it, I would have been stuck at home unable to go to work, Dr. appointments, the grocery store, the bank, to run errands, etc... When people see me zooming around town they smile, wave and even honk. It's easy to strike up a conversation as people wonder about this fabulous piece of equipment.

The firefly has had such a positive impact on my life and I'm extremely grateful for what it has done for me! Thank you so much!

Kristi H.

I just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my dragonfly. I became a quad 18 years ago when I was 56. Heretofore, I was only able to get aerobic exercise by pushing my chair.

The unit allows me to become a trike without having to transfer. The push-pull crank is great upper body exercise and I am now able to "bike" with my wife in her recumbent. Rougher terrain is so much easier to traverse which has extended my destination options.

Thanks for making it possible.

Alan V.

We have received our order, have assembled, and test drove it. My daughter is absolutely in love and the neighbors are in awe.

I cannot thank you enough for this awesome creation. This is so awesome!

Brenda

So, I recently purchased the Rio Firefly just about two weeks ago. It's AMAZING! Honestly life changing. It's really a great product!

Small, lightweight, simple, long battery life, and fast....what more could you ask for.
