COOL Mobility Prototype 3 Wheelchair

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!
