A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)

Holy shit this is awesome.

For any wheelchair users following me!

every few months I forget about this and then see it again and it is always one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out  it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.

They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.

Here is their website, if you want to learn more: https://omeotechnology.com/

ONE MORE TIME FOR ALL MY WHEELCHAIR USERS!!!!

[Illustrated GIF of a new years banner with moving assistive devices and colour changing text. The text in the middle reads “happy new year” in the colours of the rainbow. There are lines circling the text that move from left to right. Surrounding the text is line art of nine assistive devices, that dance by slightly moving from left to right, and back to it’s original position. The devices include (starting from the top left corner): a motorized wheelchair, a manual wheelchair, a scooter, crutches, a cane, a hearing aid, a service dog, a walking stick for the blind that is folded up, and a walker.]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR LOVELY FOLLOWERS! Thank you so very much for all the support and joy you’ve helped bring to this blog. Here’s to 2017, and better accessibility for all!!
