COMPAW designs and manufactures the Comfort-Series Electric Wheelchair Power Attachment - Zepath at our Suzhou, Jiangsu production base, as one of five wheelchair power assist heads in our accessible mobility programme. Zepath is our comfort-first platform: a front-mounted drive head that turns a standard manual wheelchair into a powered trike for daily travel, hospital corridors, nursing home walkways and park paths, with low vibration, low noise and gentle linear acceleration.
We build the attachment as a complete, self-contained assembly — motor, controller, battery, brake, lighting and instrument — so it connects to a standard wheelchair frame without modifying or replacing the chair.
Where the Zepath Comfort Series Fits
As a Wholesale Comfort-Series Electric Wheelchair Power Attachment - Zepath Suppliers, Exporter, Company, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.
Zepath is specified for riders and care environments where noise and vibration matter as much as distance. The silent brushless drive and flexible shock absorption suit indoor circulation, supervised rehabilitation sessions and gentle outdoor routes where a predictable ride keeps the user relaxed and in control.
- Indoor home use — a quiet drive that does not disturb shared living spaces or night-time routines.
- Hospital rehabilitation departments — gentle linear control for supervised mobility practice and corridor transport.
- Nursing homes and care institutions — low-effort movement of residents between rooms, dining areas and day spaces.
- Park and community paths — a 10-inch vacuum tire and hydraulic disc brake for steady, controlled travel at walking pace.
- Users who prefer comfort to speed — three-speed adjustment with a soft throttle response and near-silent drive.
Because the drive head detaches from its bracket, the assembly separates for transport and storage: 18 kg total, with a 13 kg detachable drive unit that a caregiver can lift and carry while the wheelchair stays in place.

Reading the specification for your market
- The 40–100 km band is an envelope across the 8 Ah, 15 Ah and 20 Ah lithium packs; assist level, rider and carried load, surface and ambient temperature move the practical result inside that band.
- The 25 km/h figure is the delivered setting. The drive can be unlocked where local rules and the customer's product definition permit a higher assisted speed.
- The 10-inch gearless motor drives directly through the vacuum tire, so there is no chain or belt to tension or lubricate.
- The dual-protocol sine wave controller is the source of the smooth, quiet power delivery that defines the Comfort Series.
- The 1000 × 550 × 500 mm footprint describes the assembled attachment, which is useful when planning storage in a care facility or vehicle.
Configuration Options and Battery Selection
We do not treat Zepath as a single fixed SKU. Each order is configured around the daily distance, charging routine and interface expectations of the market it serves.
- Battery capacity — 48 V lithium in 8 Ah, 15 Ah or 20 Ah, chosen against expected daily distance and access to charging.
- Controller configuration — dual-protocol 6-tube sine wave controller, with the protocol confirmed against the wheelchair or fleet interface in use.
- Braking and running gear — hydraulic disc brake on the drive wheel, vacuum tire, aluminum alloy support foot.
- Controls and lighting — foldable handlebar, hall throttle, three-speed adjustment, reverse gear, horn, LED headlight with four adjustable colours.
- OEM/ODM scope — appearance, interaction logic and functional parameters can be adapted through our customization process for distributors and care-equipment brands.
Controls, Interface and Riding Behaviour
The operating sequence is deliberately short, so a new user or caregiver can be trained in minutes and a fleet can be handed over without lengthy instruction.
- Connect and lock — the drive head seats into its bracket on the wheelchair front frame and locks.
- Power on — the LCD instrument shows the smart battery display and current charge state.
- Set the pace — the hall throttle gives gentle linear acceleration; three-speed adjustment covers indoor corridors and outdoor paths.
- Manoeuvre — reverse gear for tight doorways and lifts; the horn signals presence on shared footpaths.
- Stop — release the throttle to decelerate; the hydraulic disc brake completes the stop.
Frame, Materials and Vibration Control
Comfort on Zepath comes from the interaction between frame, tire and control tuning rather than from a single component. The high-toughness aluminum alloy frame carries a stamped integrated front fork and flexible shock absorption that filters road and floor vibration before it reaches the handlebar, which reduces hand and shoulder fatigue on longer rides.
Ergonomic control parts give a soft hand feel and lower grip fatigue, while the vacuum tire and aluminum alloy support foot keep the front end stable during mounting, dismounting and parking. The 13 kg detachable drive unit can be separated from the wheelchair for carrying, charging indoors or storage.
The COMPAW Power Attachment Range
Zepath sits inside a five-model power assist platform we manufacture in the same plant. Matching the model to the route and the user group is the first decision in a project, and we confirm it together with the customer before a quotation is prepared. Full details are listed in our electric handcycle attachment range.

FAQs about the Zepath Comfort Series
Is the Zepath drive noisy indoors?
The brushless gearless motor and sine wave controller run near-silently, so the attachment is suitable for apartments, hospital wards and nursing home corridors where noise would disturb others.
Does the shock absorption suit older riders?
The aluminum alloy frame with flexible shock absorption and the vacuum tire soften floor joints, thresholds and paving, which keeps the ride comfortable for elderly users and reduces fatigue over longer distances.
How is battery status checked?
The LCD instrument carries a smart battery display, so charge level is visible at power-up and during the ride without a separate test device.
Can Zepath be fitted to an existing wheelchair?
Yes. The drive head connects to a standard manual wheelchair frame through its bracket, so the chair itself is not modified or replaced. We confirm tube geometry and bracket position from the wheelchair model supplied with the enquiry.
Which battery option should be specified?
The 48 V lithium pack is available in 8 Ah, 15 Ah and 20 Ah, giving a 40–100 km working band. We select the capacity from the expected daily distance, charging routine and load, then confirm it in the quotation.
Is OEM or ODM customization available?
We run OEM/ODM development from product definition to mass production, covering functional parameters, appearance design and interaction logic, so distributors and care-equipment suppliers can adapt Zepath to their own market requirements.
