Attachment turns wheelchair into car

Posted 27th Jan 2012


Designed to give wheelchair users more independence this IWA (Independent Wheelchair Assistant), built by Oscar Fernandez, connects to any wheelchair and pulls it along, eliminating the need to transfer into a mobility chair or be pushed.

Connecting the motorised wheels lifts the two front wheels of the wheelchair off the ground and essentially turns the chair into a car, and this can all be done via controls on the handlebars.

    This is so cool! Great design concept. Hopefully the price point will have mass appeal.
