One of the truly great things about technology is that it can help folks whose lives have been negatively impacted by an injury or birth defect. Mobility is intrinsic to one’s feeling of independence. And when that is taken away, it can wreak havoc on one’s life. The iBot mobility can help restore that independence.
The neat thing about the iBot is its 5-in-1 system:

5° inclines; 1” obstacles |
ADA environments; access to desks and tables |
|
4-Wheel Function |
10° inclines; 5” obstacles |
Curbs, grass, gravel, sand |
|
Balance Function |
5° inclines; 1” obstacles |
Elevated heights for reaching objects on high shelves or countertops & for eye-to-eye conversations on the move |
|
Stair Function |
5” to 8” step height; 10” to 17” step length |
Independent or assisted stair climbing—indoor & outdoor environments |
