The nimble innovation is the first of such nature as other electric cars usually present difficulty to the physically-challenged users at the point of getting into the car.
Mixed reactions have surprisingly greeted this innovation. While many raised concerns over its inability to withstand crashes or road challenges, others simply found it amazing.
A LinkedIn user Agnese Stunda-Zujeva remarked:
"Well, classical wheel chair may is not safe for crushes in car, but as baby car seats (designed for car) car be fitted on wheels outside car, the same could be done with car seat - put it on small wheels. Ideal for e.g. driving to shop or doctor, when you need to get out of car just for getting in some building.
"I am just wondering why it is not already invented."
Clive Hammon reacted:
"A great tool for mobility but where is it specifically designed for? If it's for the roads I would be very cautious about it's ability to withstand crashes."
Abiodun Saheed Salako supported Hammon's reaction saying:
"My thoughts exactly. It seems they compromised on certain things. I'm curious about how durable it is. It's not meant for tough terrains. I think future designs will have more functionality and durability. This is commendable and has huge potential for the over 25 million disabled folks who use wheelchairs."
Francis Mwale stated:
"Wow this amazing i like this."
Ana G commented:
"I think this is excellent!!"
