Compaw presents its range of electric power attachments designed to convert standard manual wheelchairs into powered mobility devices. The core product is a detachable front-wheel drive unit, referred to as a “head,” which contains the motor and battery. This system allows users to easily clip the powered unit onto the front of their existing wheelchair for outdoor use and detach it for indoor maneuverability, retaining the original chair’s functionality. The company is based in Suzhou and distributes its products internationally to markets including England, Singapore, and the United States. https://www.compaw.com

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications.

The primary model, the Zipa from the Star Series, features a large front wheel and can achieve a maximum speed of 30 km/h with a range of up to 60 kilometers on a single charge. It is equipped with a digital display showing speed and other metrics. The connection mechanism involves clamping onto the front vertical tubes of the wheelchair frame, a common feature on most wheelchairs, and is secured with a clutch-like sound. The unit is priced at approximately $1,800 USD.
A smaller, more lightweight model called the Pass is also available. This version has a smaller wheel, resulting in a lower top speed compared to the Zipa. It utilizes the same detachable battery system as the larger model and is priced at $890 USD. Both models are designed to handle significant weight, with a stated capacity of up to 200 kg, and can be used on various terrains, including beaches and forest paths, providing users with greater mobility freedom.
The shared battery system for these devices is a key design element. The battery is lockable for security and can be removed for convenient indoor charging. A full charge takes approximately two hours. The battery unit also includes a USB port, allowing it to function as a power source for other devices. This modular approach provides flexibility for users who may own different Compaw attachments.
Compaw also showcased a concept called the Omni Pass, which appears to be a complete wheelchair base with omnidirectional wheels, allowing for lateral movement. This product is distinct from the front-attachment power units. The demonstration of the Zipa and Pass models took place at the Hong Kong Fairs April 2026, where the company detailed its existing distribution network of around 30 partners in the United States and its goal of expanding its user base.
