Novel, Accessible zero-emissions vehicle-format for enabling self-care and independence for mobility-limited persons.

开发一种新的微型交通工具形式，将无障碍引入该部门。通过“模糊”被认为是“健全”的人选择时尚，方便的交通工具之间的界限，什么是电动轮椅，必须使用“残疾人马车”的耻辱被打破，使更多的人能够自信地使用辅助移动。”（研究了提供椅子的高废弃率--NHS估计每年损失1600万英镑），发现“形象”和体重不便（缺乏独立性）是两个首要因素。这种新的交通工具形式看起来不像轮椅或移动踏板车，它在旅行时将用户带到成人的眼睛水平，但在停车时可以“蹲下”以创建坚固的座椅。（可定制）造型，加上其通过困难地形的能力（路缘石、碎石、雪、沙等）--仍然要紧凑--足以用一只手举起（并安装在自动扶梯台阶上），这使得它对不同的用户群体比现有的微型移动选项更具吸引力。行业专家认为它是电动滑板车的方便替代品，因为它占用空间小，不会翻倒，停车距离短，灵活性强。这将是受欢迎的公共交通，由于它具有可移动的（自动断开）电池盒，这就像'把自己的座位'（乘客不会占用储物空间和车厢座位）。行人周围的安全（和室内使用）是其他个人移动格式的问题;这辆车的小脚印有助于本体感觉判断，它的控制系统模拟了步行者的自然反射（行走时的重量转移），并且不会占用分散注意力的认知资源来操作扶手杆、制动杆或操纵杆（或观察路面缺陷）。骑手对周围的人有更多的“顶空”考虑（不像电动滑板车，需要集中精力来保持足够的速度，以保持稳定）。它的新行为算法提供了在静止时保持平衡的能力（车手不必做平衡），动态高度底盘使转移容易，和安全安装/拆卸，无与伦比的任何竞争对手.新的车辆不到一半的价格，英国ORLAU领先的移动技术团队支持该产品，认为它将为数百万的巡诊和疲劳患者提供一种可行的替代方案，而不是将NHS作为解决他们移动问题的默认选择。该产品使自我护理成为一种可行的选择，在其功能，负担能力和克服自我价值的问题，不得不使用传统的移动辅助。

Development of a new micromobility vehicle-format, which introduces Accessibility to the sector. By 'blurring the lines' between what is considered an 'able-bodied' persons choice of fashionable, convenient transport, and what is a powered-wheelchair, the stigma of having to use an 'invalid carriage' is broken down, enabling more people to confidently use assistive-mobility.A 2018 NHS poll 'Why don't people use their mobility aids?' (studying the high abandonment rates of provided-chairs - costing the NHS an estimated £16M/yr), found the 'image' and weight-inconvenience (lack of independence) were the two top-ranked factors. This new vehicle-format looks nothing like a wheelchair or mobility-scooter, it carries the user at adult eye-level while travelling, but can 'squat down' to create a sturdy seat when parked.Its hands-free control, unconventional form-factor and (customisable) styling, plus its capability to negotiate difficult terrain (kerbs, gravel, snow, sand etc) - and still be compact-enough to be lifted with one hand (and fit on an escalator-step), makes it far more attractive to a diverse user-group than existing micromobility options.Industry experts see it as a convenient replacement for e-scooters, because it takes up less space, doesn't fall-over, has shorter stopping-distance, and greater agility. It will be welcome on public-transit, due to it having removable (auto disconnect) battery-cassette, it's like 'bringing your own seat' (passengers don't take up stowage-space and a carriage-seat).Safety around pedestrians (and indoor use) is a problem for other personal-mobility formats; This vehicle's small footprint aids proprioceptive-judgement, its control-system simulates the natural reflexes of perambulation (weight-transfer while walking), and doesn't engage distractive cognitive resources for operating handlebars, brake-levers or joysticks (or watching for pavement-imperfections). The rider has more 'headspace' consideration for those around them (unlike e-scooters, which need concentration to maintain speed adequate to remain stable).Its new behaviour-algorithm provides ability to balance while stationary (the rider doesn't have to do the balancing), the dynamic-height chassis enables easy transfer, and safe mount/dismount, unparalleled by any of its competitors.The new vehicle is less than half the price, and less than 1/3rd the weight of current state-of-the-art. The UK's leading mobility-tech team at ORLAU, support this product as something which will give millions of perambulatory, and fatigue ailed persons, a viable alternative to using the NHS as default choice for solving their mobility problems. This product makes self-care a viable choice, in its functionality, affordability and overcoming the self-worth issues that come with having to use conventional mobility-aids.
