Trade supplier Susurro to unveil evolutionary Benoit wheelchair power add-on at Naidex

Specialist product supplier to the mobility trade, Susurro, will be unveiling the latest addition to its market-leading Benoit wheelchair power add-on range at Naidex 2026 - the Benoit Light Drive 3.

Naidex, NEC, 25th and 26th March 2026, Stand N-M60.

Every year Susurro presents an unmissable showcase of international wheelchairs, wheelchair power add-ons and specialist pressure management cushions. These world-class products are imported and supplied to mobility retailers nationwide so they can meet the ever-growing diversity of demand from end users with disabilities. New for 2026, Susurro's Naidex stand will showcase the new Benoit Light Drive 3 which delivers a complete evolution of the Light Drive 2.1 system.

The new Benoit is far more than a face lift of previous models; its design and performance have been totally enhanced throughout. The rear attached, Benoit power add-on converts manual wheelchairs into powerchairs. It provides powered propulsion, so independence is easier across varying terrain including slopes, grass and gravel. The system attaches/detaches in seconds, is compact and easily transportable in the boot of a car.

The new Benoit Light Drive 3 adds a higher level of features and benefits including:

· Enhanced motor technology – for a quieter, more responsive driving experience

· Lighter and more compact design – with a full matte-black finish and smaller-diameter tubes for improved aesthetics and reduced weight

· Redesigned mounting system – enabling true one-handed fitting

· Simple two-position clutch levers – for effortless switching between freewheel and drive modes

· Streamlined installation – significantly reduces dealer workshop time

· Compatible with both rigid and folding wheelchairs – supported by an extensive range of fitment kits for most popular models.

Dan Sutton, Susurro Business Development Manager, comments: "Our Benoit systems have always been best sellers for the mobility retailers we supply. The new Light Drive 3 promises to generate even more end user demand and revenue through its exceptional design. Refined and enhanced throughout, we are looking forward to highlighting all these considered changes to everyone who visits us at Naidex this year."
