A wheelchair combination includes a hand-propelled wheelchair (1) having two large drive wheels (3), at least one front support wheel (5) and a seat for the wheelchair occupant, wherein the combination also includes a separate drive unit (2) having at least one electric drive motor and the requisite batteries therefor. The hand-propelled wheelchair and the drive unit are provided with mutually coacting coupling means and the wheelchair occupant is able to activate the coupling means to couple the wheelchair to the drive unit while seated in his/her seat, so as to obtain a functional motor-driven wheelchair. According to the invention, the drive unit (2) is intended to be coupled to the hand-propelled wheelchair (1) from behind, so that when the unit is connected, it will be located at least partially between the two large drive wheels of the hand-propelled wheelchair (1). The resultant motor-driven wheelchair uses the support wheels (11) of the drive unit as rear wheels, together with the drive wheels (3) of the hand-propelled wheelchair.

Ledit fauteuil ainsi que le groupe propulseur sont pourvus de moyens d'accouplement coopérants que l'usager est à même d'actionner en position assise, ce qui lui procure une chaise motorisée fonctionnelle. Le groupe propulseur (2) s'installe à l'arrière du fauteuil (1) en partie entre les deux grandes roues motrices; le fauteuil roule alors sur les roues (11) le supportant et sur ses grandes roues motrices (3).
