Fun mobility chair
About this project
The team created a “fun mobility chair” which is affordable, lightweight, easily transportable and electrically-operated. The team motorized a stroller by hacking a hoverboard which Ryan controls through a joystick, offering him greater independence and easier access in public settings.
The challenge
Electric wheelchairs on the market are heavy and extremely expensive. He needs an adaptable stroller which could be electric, lightweight, and easy for transport.
Who it helps
Six-year-old Ryan, who has cerebral palsy and limited mobility.
