Double-Action Wheelchairs

The Urban Wheelchair by Ben Thorpe is for City-Dwellers

Unlike many creations for the disabled and injured that merely contain their user, The Urban Wheelchair features an empowering mentality to its design.

Designed by Ben Thorpe, the Urban Wheelchair provides as much freedom as is possible. Hoisting its user into an upright position, it enables a person to perform daily activities that are usually out of reach. See more innovative wheelchairs below.
