WHILL Type-A Powered Wheelchair

WHILL Type-A Powered Wheelchair
As a RedDot Award Honorable Mention of 2014, the WHILL Type-A is an electric model currently gearing up for both Japanese and United States markets. It showcases a forward-posture option, wheels with a small turning radius, and the ability to clear curbs up to 3 inches high. While its four-wheel-drive capabilities can hand grass, dirt, gravel, and snow, it’s still narrow enough to maneuver within most small spaces. Its PC-style mouse controller can be mounted on either the right or the left side and users additionally have their choice of options for back support. While preorders and requests for test drives are now being accepted on their website, the WHILL Type-A has yet to be considered as a medical device by the FDA and therefore hasn’t received their clearance.
