The REVOLVE Air is a foldable wheelchair that’s changing the game for travelers with mobility needs. This ingenious creation, developed by the Netherlands-based company Revolve Mobility, is revolutionizing the way we think about mobility assistance.
Imagine having a wheelchair that’s no larger than your cabin luggage! This innovation was born from the mind of Andrea Mocellin, an international mobility designer and the founder of Revolve Mobility. It’s designed to make air travel more accessible and convenient for individuals with mobility challenges.
At the heart of this transformational wheelchair are its 24-inch foldable wheels. These wheels are a game-changer, saving a remarkable 60% of space when folded. The cutting-edge folding mechanism is user-friendly and hassle-free, ensuring that travelers can easily stow it away in the overhead compartment of an airplane.
Moreover, the wheelchair features a customizable cushion, allowing for tailored comfort that aligns with individual requirements. It boasts an integrated push handle, making it easy to operate independently or with the assistance of a companion. The aluminum tube bending technology used in its construction ensures durability without adding unnecessary weight.
The REVOLVE Air comes with a universal locking pin on its wheels, ensuring it can be easily attached to most wheelchair models. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of users.
However, it has a weight limit of 100 kg, ensuring it can accommodate various individuals comfortably. Each wheel weighs a mere 3.8 kg, and the chair itself is incredibly lightweight at just 7 kg. The REVOLVE Air is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, with a price tag of US$4,901.
