Winged Wheelchairs creates assistive technology to improve the quality of life for wheelchair users across the world. Our product is a wheelchair mobility aid for manual wheelchair users with limited hand mobility. The technology uses a simple push-lever and knob design which enables them to propel a manual wheelchair without continuously needing to grasp and release the push wheel. By providing an alternative and less strenuous form of propulsion, Winged Wheelchairs enables manual wheelchairs to regain independence of mobility and restore personal agency while avoiding the costly transition to an electric wheelchair.
