The power wheelchair with stand-up function is a special kind of mobile for disabled people. Its coherent design provides the user with pleasant reliability which is on the one hand the result of its obvious robustness that is expressed by its heaviness, which does, however, not make it look ungainly, and on the other hand by the numerous options to individually adjust it to the user’s requirements. Sophisticated details make the product’s different functions easy to understand and use. The wheelchair design reveals the possibilities it offers, with its functionality clearly coming to the fore. Seat depth and width can be modified individually, the backrest and seat tilt can be adjusted using a joystick. Due to the brand new control S³ feature with single-wheelforced steering, the electric wheelchair is also suited for use in tight spaces.
