The Roll.Charge.Light.Protect wheelchair helps protect the user with glowing wheels for extra nighttime safety. With reduced visibility in the dark, many wheelchair users find it difficult to travel on their own at night. However, designers Mingoo Kim, Yunjin Chang and Sueun Park have created the Roll.Charge.Light.Protect wheelchair concept to eliminate this problem.
The LED lights are powered by the rotating wheels and also have a reader that displays how much electricity remains.
