Segway for disabled

I recently heard about an electric wheel chair called Omeo, sort of a segway type. looks pretty impressive. not suitable for me unfortunately, but what a great device. Epic Dragon, feast your eyes on this NDIS it's approved apparently.

Good find, Mario.

Apart from your stairs, is there something else that makes these unsuitable for you, Mario? I reckon you could throw a line in from that.

I’ve tried normal Segways a few times and I’m not much good on them.

I was going up a steep hill in San Francisco, lost it, spun around and started charging down hill. Scared the bejesus out of me.

can imagine the fight with ndis for anyone wanting one of those!

With a few mods and suitable pony, you could get into harness racing with it!

John, the stairs wont be an issues a platform lift is going to be installed . When the builders pull their finger out.

No good for me as it relys on weight shift on the seat. My ability to move safely is deteriorating, If l was to involuntarily slouch forward and not be able to regain my position it would probably become a dangerous runaway express..
