Adapt Ability introduce new all-terrain powered wheelchair ‘Adapto’ with seat height adjustment
Following their success gaining investment in BBC’s Dragon’s Den earlier this year, the award-winning team behind Adapt Ability’s Omeo are launching a second mobility device the Adapto.
The innovative tech includes a height-adjustable seat, an intuitive braking system and the ability to cover up to 35 miles on a single charge, plus its zero degree turn capability in tight spaces including the home, cafes, shops and lifts, sets this hand-steered gyro-based wheelchair apart.
Adapt Ability’s Director’s Cristian and Matt say that they are determined to keep innovating with life-changing pieces of kit and with a retail price starting from £9,995 they hope to open up this market to a whole new range of consumers.
Matt Walker, Co-Director of Adapt Ability said: “We are so excited about the Adapto. As well as being all-terrain, with a fabulous 35 mile range, the seat height adjustment which can be electronically raised by up to 14cms, will enable users to ‘join the conversation’ when out with friends, at work or simply pottering around.
“It also contributes to better posture and circulation so you don’t just look good, you feel good too.”
Gravel, grass, forest, beach or slopes, the Adapto’s self-levelling tech and pneumatic tyres ensure comfort whatever the terrain, while its ‘Air Ride’ cushion means that users can stay out for longer without feeling jaded or tired.
Additionally, the Adapto can be personalised with various backrests and pressure-relieving cushions.
Cristian Brownlee, Co-Director of Adapt Ability added: ‘The heart of the Adapt Ability business is social enterprise – our goal is to improve people’s lives by offering the equipment they need to integrate back into society.
“With the launch of the Adapto we’re extremely excited to be able to offer yet another innovative product designed to maximise the freedom of people with mobility impairments.’
Adapt Ability distribute the game-changing Omeo and Adapto wheelchairs which allow the user to travel over uneven terrain, scale inclines and navigate troughs and bumps in the ground.
