Development of prototype of innovative wheelchair, based on Segway. Segway. Segway is the most modern and innovative vehicle on two wheels, which moves and works by means of gyroscope. The Segway is highly mobile and accessible. it works with batteries of new generation. The batteries can be charged and they don't have a number of charge cycles. You can travel with the Segway about 30 miles on a single charge with the speed of 20 km/h. We will make the chair accessible with all models of Segway. This will allow to disabled people to visit places, where they can't go with basic wheelchair. It is envisaged that the chair will be made from lightweight materials and the weight of the product will be relatively lower than similar products available in the market. Another advantage of the wheelchair is that it will be suitable for people with varying degrees of disability and that it will be able to benefit from a larger group of people in such situation, as well as by the elderly with difficulty moving. We think that of our product be produced, it has all chances to become the most modern wheelchair and the to be in exceptional service to disadvantaged.
