Wheelchair Review: the iBOT 2009-03-19

One of the most enjoyable aspects of my job at Used Wheelchairs USA is educating myself about the current wheelchair market. I've always been a fan of gadgets and technology, so I love to find out what features are available on various power wheelchairs. Today's wheelchair market is fascinating to me: some power chairs are fast (the Pride Quantum Blast 850 has a max speed of 10mph!), other electric wheelchairs have seats that elevate (for example, the Pride Jazzy 1103 Ultra), and still others have full power functions such as power elevating leg rests and power tilt recline. Truly, there is a chair out there for every user's needs.
Without a doubt, I can say that the iBOT wheelchair is one of the most unique wheelchairs on the market today. Developed by Dean Kamen -- creator of the famous Segway scooter -- the iBOT is capable of one-of-a-kind functions such as climbing stairs and balancing upright on just two wheels. The iBOT uses sensors and gyroscope technology to maintain its balance and perform in ways other wheelchairs cannot. For example, when curb climbing in an iBOT, the seat stays stationary while the chair's chassis moves and adjusts to climb up to 5.0" curbs.
Of course, uniqueness comes with a price. For more information,please visit http://www.bossgoo.com
