Scewo is creating a stair climbing wheelchair
SCEWO PROTOTYPE The Scewo wheelchair is the second
iteration of the original Scalevo project.
It is still a demonstration prototype and under
active development.
But let’s see what we can already do
and how we climb stairs!
Stair Climbing Wheelchair Review
Stair-climbing wheelchairs are extremely useful and can be a lifesaver when it comes to getting around stairs. But, not all staircases have the same amount of clearance. And if there is any obstruction, like a small child’s chair or a large, uncomfortable bag, then your wheelchair will not work and you will end up having to walk up or down.
Stair-climbing wheelchairs are designed to overcome this obstacle. Most wheelchair models have one or more wheels that can be attached to a platform that can be lowered to the level of the stairs. With a platform, your wheelchair can now be used on any type of surface, including stairs. This allows a wheelchair user to travel up and down the stairs without worrying about anything blocking their path.
This is especially helpful for people who are elderly, have difficulty walking, or have difficulty using vertical steps. In addition, there are many staircases where there is only a limited amount of space available for maneuvering. So, they may have to walk up and down the stairs several times before being able to safely and easily get up.
If you are elderly and need to make the stairs in your home safer and easier to use, consider a stair-climbing wheelchair. They can help you reach places where it may have been difficult to go in the past. You can make the stairs in your home safe and easy to use by adding a wheelchair lift to your stairs.
Lift systems are available for both indoor and outdoor use. They are available in many different styles, designs, and capacities, as well as different levels of mobility. A lift can either be stationary or move vertically or horizontally. Depending on how much mobility your handicapped loved one needs, you can choose a lift that will provide him with the most comfort and freedom.
Powered stair climbers are an important tool for those who need assistance with their mobility. Many people who have problems walking up and down stairs can benefit greatly from the use of a stair-climbing wheelchair. It can help to provide your loved one with additional mobility so he or she can remain independent and be able to maintain independence.
Stair-climbing wheelchairs come in a variety of models and styles. Each model is designed for particular requirements. Some are larger than others, some can provide more space for mobility and some are more compact in design so that your handicapped loved one does not have to worry about carrying it.
A stair-climbing wheelchair is designed to be easy to install and to use. They are easy to fold up and store if they are not in use. If you are concerned about cost, there are many models that are very affordable.

I saw something similar at EMS and ordered one. It’s working as it should. The cost of the next one (power) up is high, so here are some suggestions for cost-effective improvements:
1) Larger rear wheels (in diameter)
2) Arm rests (that can be lifted or!lowered)
3) Stairs with rails to slide down would buy another, particularly if one or more of the improvements listed above were included, and the price was reasonable.
My husband has mobility problems, so he couldn’t go up and down the stairs (15) to our bedroom safely. That issue was resolved by this product. This item is not light, but the wheels/tracks allow it to be easily maneuvered on a variety of surfaces. To ensure sufficient clearance and familiarize yourself with the operation of the chair and challenging areas that may be difficult to navigate, such as a short landing space, practice runs with an empty chair and then with a small person who does not have mobility issues are highly recommended.
Without carrying or heavy lifting, the IBEX TranSeat 700H comfortably descends and ascends stairs. The IBEX decreases the physical demands placed on operators, lowering the risk of muscle strain, hernia, and back pain.
