A sensor couple is included for securing the sensor adjacent to the wheel of the wheelchair. A display is coupled to the wheel chair for depicting a plurality of numerals. Finally, an information mechanism is connected to the sensor and display. The information mechanism is adapted to calculate a distance the wheelchair travelled and a speed of the wheelchair by monitoring the number and rate of actuation of the sensor, respectively. The information mechanism is further adapted to depict on the display the distance upon a first depression of a switch button and depict the speed upon a second depression thereof.
