WHILL Model C

People with disabilities often take a long time to accept that they rely on a wheelchair for example. This means of transportation is somewhat stigmatised, often resulting in adverse psychological feelings of being marginalised. The design of the Model C challenges the conventional designs of wheelchairs, bestowing a new aesthetic to this type of mobility. Its futuristic shape adopts a self-contained appearance and immediately attracts attention through its unusual proportions. Instead of hiding, its fashionable appearance consciously puts the wheelchair itself centre stage. Fascinating about the Model C is how it integrates all elements into a highly coherent and flowing aesthetic. Based on an ergonomically and functionally well- thought-out concept, the electric wheelchair is precisely manoeuvrable via a smooth-running joystick. It is driven by two powerful motors via the patented omni front wheels. The high performance of this wheelchair is complemented by a robust design that enable users to easily glide through rough undulating city streets as well as to drive through off-road terrain without hesitation. With its future-oriented design, the Model C promotes a new self-reliance for people who are limited in their mobility – delivering a new sense of feeling free and being less marginalised.
