The Ferno PowerTraxx Retrofit Kit (#0832195) has all the equipment needed to convert a standard EZ-Glide chair into a powered one. Items included are: motorised track module, control panel, battery, battery charger, mounting and connection hardware. 

The Ferno PowerTraxx Retrofit Kit turns the EZ-Glide into a convenient powered unit, to help climb up to 20 flights of stairs and only 60 minutes of charging time. This power conversion helps the chair accomplish stairs, corners, difficult terrain, and other obstacles for you and the patient.
