Sky Chairiot Project

Transportation & Recreational Vehicle Prototype Development

We aim to make the "mobility impaired" visibly mobile! Most severely disabled individuals will probably tell you they experience significant difficulty in getting around their communities. Recreational opportunities are often limited to being a spectator. Most would describe "cruising" as buzzing around their neighborhood in their power wheelchair or "soaring" as flying down a nearby hill in the manual chair. Not anymore!
