Mmm. A bunch of ideas, and claims and not a product.

Comments? 10Ah LiPo batteries? The ones that explode? And do around 200 cycles? Way too dangerous and much too small. Hence the very short claimed range.
Manual chair with power? I couldnt get in one nevermind use it. And the large dameter wheels get in the way of transfering etc. Its got tiny casters, and a CG far too high. It wouldnt be safe at 6mph and certainly will not work at 25! Much too tippy and lacking adequate suspension or length. Same with the off road claims. With 4 inch casters? 10Ah battery? High CG? Really?
Rehab style seating? And the sort of control that most powerchair users have/need?

Just my thoughts...

Heres what they are really doing.

Using an addon brushless motor, like the hobby ones, with a lipo hobby type battery, to make a manual chair, with mountain bike tyres, balance like a ibot/segway/hoverboard. Seriously thats not very hard to do.

Heres the reason for all the silly claims, that wont happen. 30mph on a manual chair? For two secs until it overturns...
Its another startup revenue money making scheme like that other scottish scammer with his never appearing FREEDOM 1 powerchair and its silly (now vanished) claims.

Venture Capital and the road to profitability

The founders have already invested thousands into this company.

And there we have it.
