Awesome Scooter Attachment Makes Wheelchairs Faster Than Ever
While it might be a necessary step in some situations in order to increase mobility, the challenge of using a wheelchair can really create some unique roadblocks for people who have to do it every day. While wheelchair users probably get more used to the situation each and every day and build up a skill set to be able to get around in the most efficient way possible, it would seem like there would be more innovations these days in order to make the use of such equipment even more accessible and better in every way possible.
This time, we check out an invention that attempts to do just that and we think it’s pretty neat. With this piece of handy equipment, it basically takes your chair and allows it to be a power chair without having to add all of the big and bulky equipment. As people who do use wheelchairs have testified, while a power chair might be nice in its functionality, it could still be a challenge to be able to get the big and heavy chair around. Therefore, with the creation known as the “Firefly,” it might make things just a touch better for those who are put in this tough situation.
By acting as a sort of detachable scooter that hooks to the front of the wheelchair, the Firefly essentially allows users to ride more freely and little bit quicker as well which we’re sure is a very welcome addition. It seems like this sort of innovation not only makes things a little bit easier for someone to move around but also will let users get around more quickly, making the most of an electric motor combination to really improve upon functionality along with ease-of-use for what otherwise would be available with your standard wheelchair.
