Default A new kind of walker
Here is my latest attempt in trying to create a new kind of walker for anyone stuck between a walker and a wheelchair.

Enjoy life always,

Brilliant! Thank you! When the time comes that I need this I will definitely get one. I hope it is being marketed.(I couldn't watch all of the video because it was buffering badly, but I will watch the rest in the morning when America is asleep and AOL works better here then.)

This is fabulous. I'm sharing it around. How much does it cost to make?

Max,

This is just brilliant! Do you have this patented or any financial backing, at this point? This could revolutionize mobility aids for many people with walking challenges. I want to share openly on FB and Twitter but would need to know that is okay with you?

This is better than a walker or a wheelchair.
How can we get one?

Default Wow!
Max thanks!
We need to have a link to pricing. We don't "sell" things on this forum, which I'm sure is the reason such info is not included, so could you provide us with a contact, please?

Default A new kind of walker, still only a prototype
Thank you for your positive input on my walker. It's only a prototype right now. I'm not a manufacturer or a supplier, just someone with PD trying to make a better walking aid. I'm hoping a manufacturer will be interested in producing them for the general public. I wish it was available today, sorry. One step at a time. I'll keep everyone informed if it ever makes it to market and where it can be purchased. And Yes, you can share this video openly on FB and Twitter.

Thank you again,
Max

Max, back to Laura's question. Do you have a patent? If not, get one right away!

Yes I do have a Patent Pending, it will give me some protection.
CBC News out of Nanaimo saw my video on You-Tube and wanted to do a story on my walking scooter. Here's a link to it.
