www.UseYourInstinct.com - An introduction to the ELEVATION wheelchair. See and hear how the seat raises and lowers, and how the backrest reclines - all in real-time. Thanks to Gerald Simonds for filming this video.
This is a cool \'sports electric wheelchair\' weighing only 44kg or 103 lbs (including batteries), designed in Australia by Colin Johanson. It won the ABC TV \"New Inventors\" program \"2006 Viewers Choice Award\" and we are working on commercialisig it. The video is worth the download to see the terrain that this amazing morphing electric wheelchair can negotiate, driven by Jonathan Jowers and filmed by Mark Duckworth, both of CATEA, Georgia Tech, Atlanta. In the stretched outdooor mode it can even bounce up and down gutters. In the short indoor mode, it can negotiate really tight corridors and doorways. Check it out!
If you\'re a wheelchair user who loves the outdoors, don\'t let a little mud, sand, or snow stop you from getting there. The Renegade All Terrain Wheelchair has a multi-gear, push-bar system inspired by mountain bike technology, so you can go off the beaten path with relative ease. Your hands never touch wet wheels and the lower gears provide that extra torque when you really need it. Because where you want to go, there are no ramps. http://renegadewheelchairs.com
This is not my chair, but I have one the same made by the people who made these ones. They will go anywhere as they are a honest 4WD with a motor on each wheel. They don\'t like inclines much but gutters etc., are no hassle.
