How is my driving performance calculated?

SmartDrive combines information from your driving behavior with an overall profile that is used to calculate your performance rating score. The information collected includes:

• Driving time of day
• Distracted driving due to phone handling
• Hard and extreme braking
• Speeds at or above 80 mph

What do these icons mean?

These icons show when a driving event has occurred. Just a single one of these events will have little significance in your performance score, but we want to make you aware of your driving habits.

• Phone Handling - Phone use can distract you and take your mind off the road. Please be aware and make the roads safe for all.
  
• Speeding - You’ll receive a speeding indicator when your speed exceeds 80 mph. Studies show the safest speeds are 80 mph and below.
  
• Sudden Braking - Occurs when your speed is greatly reduced in a short amount of time. Prevent this by keeping a safe following distance.
  

How do you use wheelchair on smartdrive?

SmartDrive MX2+. How does it work explained.

Does this come with the axle bar to be able to use it on folding wheelchairs?

• Yes. When ordering, Please select the type of chair you have (rigid or folding) and it will come with an axle.

Why isn’t my SmartDrive engaging?

Generally, you should check the following:

• Is your SmarDrive powered on?
• Is your PushTracker in “SD On” mode-the blue light should be flashing.
• Are you in MX2+ mode- a double tap will engage the motor. If you are in MX2 mode, a push on the hand rim will engage the motor.

Can my SmartDrive slow me down?

Unfortunately No, SmartDrive is incapable of providing any braking for the chair. This means that after you turn on the motor you will need to manually grab the hand-rims and bring your chair to a stop. This also means that your SmartDrive cannot slow you down going down a ramp or a hill.

Do I need to re-pair my PushTracker to my SmartDrive?

No, the only time you need to re-pair your PushTracker to your SmartDrive is after performing an over-the-air (OTA) update. After doing that the PushTracker will automatically go into pairing mode when you try to connect or turn “SD On”.

Why won't my PushTracker connect to my phone?

If you are using Android then it might be because the phone has saved the pairing information-which will prevent the PushTracker from establishing a solid connection. To fix this, simply open your phone’s Bluetooth settings menu and tap “Forget” on the PushTracker that shows up on that menu. Once you have done that, re-start the Smart Evaluation app and the PushTracker should be able to reliably connect- without needing to re-pair the phone.

How can I make the SmartDrive safe for children?

The SmartDrive is safe for children to use, but we do recommend the best way to ensure safety is to train them on proper tapping and braking techniques. Moreover, we have included the ability to limit the max speed of the SmartDrive (from 0.5 miles per hour to 5.5 miles per hour) as well as the acceleration rate of the SmartDrive. For someone who is just learning to push or to use a SmartDrive we recommend setting both very low.

*With the new Smart Evaluation App, you can do this directly from the app!

Why should I want a SmartDrive?

You should be active and able to go out into the world! With pushing however, unlike the general advice with walking (where people cannot walk too much), people CAN push too much! If you push too much then you will be more likely to get pain and injury in your arms and shoulders, which may limit your independence. With the SmartDrive you are still able to push around in your chair as you normally would, but you can now go farther and faster with less effort! Use it when you need to get somewhere fast or up a big hill- don’t kill your shoulders if you don’t have to! Enjoy your journey with your SmartDrive!
