god this looks awful and I'm putting this in the "your redesigned wheelchair sucks" pile

let me break it down

  1. support- there is almost none. you need a higher, specialized backrest? nope. you need armrests? nope. you need a more supportive harness than the small seatbelt? nope
  2. leg support- there is none. if you have trouble keeping your legs on a footplate there is nothing helping to keep them on there. your legs just kinda dangle outwards without any way to secure them
  3. speed- from the looks of it this thing can't keep up with walking speed without leaning far forward.
  4. speed part 2- what happens when a bump in the sidewalk knocks you forward a little bit in a way that makes you lean?? you just go flying???
  5. strain- leaning all the time creates muscle strain
  6. leg use- it's difficult to lean forward very far without using your leg muscles to counteract that. for hopefully obvious reasons not everyone can do that
  7. turning- this doesn't seem to be able to make sharp turns and corners. welcome to hitting every shelf in the grocery store
  8. clearance- as far as I can tell, there is none. what happens when you encounter a sidewalk crack?
  9. design team- the lead designers are all pedestrians

this is.... a wheelchair hoverboard. this is a toy.

Me, A person with spastic cerebral palsy (muscles jerk when i am startled), poor balance, and also scoliosis (bent skeleton): *looks at this.* Nopes out at the nightmare fuel.

Thank you, OP, for spelling out why.

You know what this is? It's an invention made by people who don't like looking at actually functional wheelchairs, 'cause being reminded of disability makes them feel icky.

And then, they somehow convinced themselves that this is something actually physically disabled people would want.

even as a fully abled bodied person I was thinking those don't look practically designed for the disabled at all

you need to lean forward to make it go, no mechanical way to move it or make it stop, no safety features

this is just a new toy for the rich tech bros

i worked at build-a-bear in downtown disney and one time a guest came with a grinch and had me force 6 custom sounds into him which was just him breathing really hard and saying “MERRY CHRISTMAS” into each one the thing is, he had me stuff them into the arms, which were stick-thin so the seams were coming up and i was having to repair his now lumpy grinchy arms this took like 45 minutes and all the while the kid was legit trying to remove my kneecaps, his mom was even telling me that she warned someone this would happen and they sent her straight to me ROFLMAO after he was stuffed to the brim and i could hear the soul of the plush screaming at me for what would be the next eternity the kid dressed him up like batman but his mom was like “NO HE HAS TO BE CHRISTMAS” so he put a santa hat on him and also a little plush gingerbread that smelled like actual gingerbread and it ended up looking like this

i clocked out an hour and a half late it was like 1 am
