In a groundbreaking leap towards ultimate freedom for individuals with lower limb disabilities, Lithuanian-based manufacturer Chronus Robotics introduces the Kim-e, a segway-styled wheelchair designed to empower users to confidently navigate life. This innovative wheelchair not only redefines mobility but also combines convenience, hands-free functionality, and a revolutionary design.
Unlike traditional wheelchairs, the Kim-e boasts a distinctive two-wheeled design that enables users to stand upright in a matter of seconds. Developed over four years of meticulous research, prototyping, and perfection, the Kim-e represents a significant stride towards enhancing the quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges.
One of the standout features of the Kim-e is its hands-free functionality. Users can effortlessly control the wheelchair through upper body movements, seamlessly raising and lowering the seat or gliding through crowds with ease. The convenience extends to its foldable design, allowing the Kim-e to fit into the boot of a car for convenient transportation.
Powered by a lithium battery onboard, the Kim-e achieves a full charge in just four hours, offering a travel range of up to 30 km at a top speed of 20 km/h. Weighing 38 kg, including the built-in battery, and with a payload capacity of up to 90 kg, the Kim-e prioritizes safety without compromising on performance.
Equipped with a scissor-lift-type mechanism, the Kim-e elevates the seat to eye level, fostering improved interaction with companions. The wheelchair’s off-road capable tires enable users to traverse various terrains, including sand, gravel, and shallow water. Additionally, Kim-e supports users in climbing slopes of up to 20 degrees in a semi-standing position.
While pricing and availability details are yet to be disclosed, individuals can book a free test ride with Kim-e to experience firsthand the revolutionary features that promise to redefine the concept of mobility.
