Ottobock B5 / B6 Power Wheelchair

Contact us for a scripting appointment or a quote with an assistive technology professional.

The B5 and B6 are power wheelchairs for users with more complex needs. Every chair is built to the user's seating, positioning and control needs, so it is prescribed after an assessment and priced by quote rather than sold off the shelf.

How it works

• Book a trial and scripting appointment at our Prestons showroom, or we can come to you at home, in hospital or in residential care.
• An assistive technology professional works with you and your therapist on the prescription and the right configuration.
• We provide a written quote to suit your funding: NDIS, iCare, DVA, aged care (Support at Home) or private purchase.

Part of Ottobock's B Series, the B5 and B6 share the same modular design and specification, with a wide choice of seat settings, positioning features and control devices. Choose front-wheel drive for a small turning circle indoors, mid-wheel drive for a central pivot point and stability, or rear-wheel drive for straight-line stability at speed and traction on slopes.
