Key Features
Automatic Self-Balancing
Powered by a proprietary intelligent control platform, the robot maintains continuous self-balancing, constant speed, and full power. It can smoothly start and stop—even on slopes—ensuring a stable and secure ride at all times.
Interchangeable Front Wheels
A versatile front-wheel system allows users to choose wheel designs suited to various travel needs. The three-step quick-change mechanism can be operated single-handedly, without assistance.
Adjustable Seat Height and Tilt
The seat height is adjustable within a predefined range to accommodate various table heights—ideal for work, daily life, and social situations. The seat can tilt up to 16° forward and recline up to 25°, with smooth adjustments in both directions for maximum user comfort and support.
Foldable and Detachable Design
Engineered for portability, the mobility robot can be quickly disassembled into four parts without the need for tools—making it easy to fit into a car boot. It also features one-touch folding via a five-link mechanism, and foldable armrests and backrest to minimise storage space.
