This Adaptive Beach & Urban Wheelchair redefines mobility by combining functional adaptability with stylish aesthetics.

At the core of this innovation is an origami-inspired foldable tire structure, which dynamically adjusts its contact surface with the ground. This design optimizes traction and stability on both soft sand and firm pavement, addressing a common challenge faced by conventional wheelchairs.

Origami Inspired Foldable Tire Structure

Origami Inspired Foldable Tire Structure

The tyres dynamically expand or retract to adapt to different terrains. By increasing surface contact on soft ground, such as sand, they prevent sinking, while on firmer surfaces, they minimize rolling resistance for a smoother ride. This ensures that users can navigate both beach and urban environments with ease and confidence.
