Wheelchairs are survival for those who need them, but innovation often comes slowly. This wheelchair concept is made of plastic and adapts to the situation to change the center of gravity.

Vertical pressure on the handle bar changes the round wheel to an ellipse in order to traverse steps and barriers easier. It’s a pretty awesome looking device with some very practical reasons to come to market.

Test with the VA system & Kaiser Perm chain alone. Radical, Great. Dump the old wheelchairs for museums or movie props.
