Elevating Wheelchair by Jake Eadie~




The elevating wheelchair by Australia based designer Jake Eadie. It can switch between two modes: Sitting and standing, the electric wheelchair design is a clear-cut ��challenge to the able-bodied people��s perceptions of wheelchair users.�� It is not only a wheelchair concept for the physically disabled, you may see this vehicle concept in the future~

  1. this is a lovely looking chair and would be popular howver as the mom of a user of a standing wheelchair you may want to consider the following points, the standing position is slightly forward and would be extremly uncomforable to sustain and would need a chest bar to hold the person in, there seem to be no side arms which would make it impossible for the user to dress eg pull up trousers, there also seem to be no knee support without those a user cannot stand at all, you may want to check the length as this affect the turning circle. only minor points but lovely chair
