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

开发一种新的微型机动车辆格式，使该部门易于使用。通过“模糊”被认为是“健全人”选择的时尚、方便的交通工具和什么是电动轮椅之间的界限，必须使用“残疾马车”的耻辱被打破，使更多的人能够自信地使用辅助移动设备。英国国民健康保险制度2018年的一项民意调查“为什么人们不使用他们的移动辅助设备？”(研究了提供椅子的高弃置率--据估计，NHS每年花费1600万GB)，发现“形象”和体重不便(缺乏独立性)是排名最靠前的两个因素。这种新的交通工具形式看起来不像轮椅或移动滑板车，它在旅行时与成年人的眼睛持平，但可以在停车时蹲下以创造一个坚固的座椅。它的免提控制、非传统的外形和(可定制的)造型，加上它能够通过困难的地形(路缘、砾石、雪、沙子等)--而且仍然足够紧凑--单手就能抬起(并适合自动扶梯台阶)，这使得它对不同的用户群体来说比现有的微移动选项更具吸引力。行业专家认为它是电动滑板车的便捷替代品。因为它占用的空间更少，不会摔倒，停车距离更短，灵活性更高。它将在公共交通上受到欢迎，因为它有可拆卸的(自动断开的)电池盒，就像“自带座椅”(乘客不占用存放空间和车厢座位)。行人周围的安全(以及室内使用)是其他个人移动模式的一个问题；这种车辆占地面积小，有助于本体感知判断，其控制系统模拟漫步的自然反应(行走时的重量转移)，不会占用分心的认知资源来操作车把、刹车杆或操纵杆(或观察人行道的瑕疵)。与电动滑板车不同，电动滑板车需要集中注意力才能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状态下保持平衡的能力(骑车者不必进行平衡)，动态高度底盘允许轻松转移，以及安全的安装/拆卸，这是任何竞争对手都无法比拟的。新车的价格不到当前最先进车辆的一半，重量不到当前最先进车辆的三分之一。Orlau的英国领先的移动技术团队支持这一产品，认为它将为数百万巡回和疲劳的患者提供可行的替代方案，将NHS作为解决他们移动性问题的默认选择。这款产品使自我护理成为一种可行的选择，因为它的功能性、可负担性以及克服了不得不使用传统行动辅助设备带来的自我价值问题。

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.
