Kartsedia

An update on the classic wheelchair

Kartsedia.

Kartsedia is in the middle of the spectrum. It is electric, including the comfort, multi-functionality, and health benefit of not causing the user more issues. It is also manual, including the lightness, and the option of being used by a second person. With a modern look and specific materials that make it durable and comfortable.

​

It has unique features. Both armrests turn into tables. The risks of side effects, such as muscle distortion and laceration have been eliminated, instead of using your whole upper body to push the wheels, there are hand pedals on each armrest, which work through a chain, as it would in a bicycle. The electric controls are on an app, which can be downloaded on any cellphone or tab- let; and this can be positioned on the holder, located on the right armrest. It includes a health track service, accessible on the same app, which learns information through the LED lights on the left armrest. This app also keeps track of your usage tendencies, and your physical location and allows you to incline the footrest and seat. There is an open storage under the armrests,

an open storage under the seat, and a third closed storage on the back, where you can also find the batteries and motors. A half-hidden handle on the back, to have the option to be pushed around.

This was my thesis project. For the complete booklet:
