Abstract

David Proud takes a trip out with the new AddSeat wheelchair. The Segway wheelchair AddSeat creates a new level of mobility, allowing users to reach places that would be exhausting in a normal wheelchair.

AddSeat is created to give both the user and the family freedom to live a richer life with more independence. Following friends and family on adventurous trips with challenging environments should not be a struggle, but a joy. 

The gyro wheelchair is designed for comfort on a durable chassis that is built to last. With the active suspension of the variable height version of the AddSeat, the user rides around in first-class comfort.
