Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, BiKube is being launched as a new kind of mobility aid that takes the form of a hands-free seated walker.
BiKube boasts a space-saving design that supports good posture by relieving stress on the joints. The adaptable design includes adjustable features that consider the needs of daily life, such as switching to a lower seat position for taking a place at the dinner table.
In North America alone, there are millions of people who experience a lack of mobility as a result of old age, disease or accidents, causing them to struggle with simple daily tasks at home. This mobility device has the potential to help countless individuals, as it was "specifically designed to fill the gap between the cane and the walker and allow hands-free movement within their homes."
