Here is a summary of just some of AiroRider’s benefits and features
AiroRider solves all the problems of current conventional mobility scooters by allowing both indoor and outdoor use, whilst also giving the user the choice to either sit or stand and a lot more.
Health Benefits- Ability to choose and change body position between sitting, high-sitting, perching or standing;
- Greater activity leads to better blood circulation and digestion, reduced susceptibility to weight gain, obesity, osteoporosis and diabetes;
- Helps maintain muscular strength and integrity;
- Reduced feelings of being stigmatized as able to remain at eye-level with those around them;
- Increased sense of general wellbeing;
- A great boost for both mental and physical health.
- Users of the AiroRider have the ability to see, observe and interact with surroundings better, able to converse and interact at the same eye-level as others around them as well as do more of what those who can stand take for granted such as reach a supermarket shelf or a light switch.
A BBC TV programme (‘Trust Me, I’m a Doctor’) highlighted a study by The University of Chester following many health benefit claims by the UK, USA and Australia of standing more and sitting less: The big standing up experiment
The well-respected organisation JustStand.org details many health benefits associated with sitting less and standing more: The human body is designed to move
The ‘Better Health Channel’ of Australia describes the many dangers that can result from for sitting for prolonged periods and that by changing body positions, altering posture and standing more can substantially reduce the susceptibility to these dangers in their article ‘The Dangers of Sitting: Why Sitting is the New Smoking’
The above are just a few references; many other media articles have highlighted that the ‘sitting disease’ is on the increase - and AiroRider helps to combat this, especially for those who are most at risk such as the elderly and less-able.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments ‐ Robust and sturdy construction, generous ground clearance, large wheels to cope with the outdoor terrain.
- Manoeuvrability ‐ Due to its twin motors and omnidirectional wheels, the AiroRider is able to move in any required direction, turns on its own axis, and will fit through any standard-sized doorway.
- Control ‐ The AiroRider is easily operated (both speed and direction) using an ergonomic joystick-type controller, with quiet and smooth power delivery from twin motors and the lithium-ion battery pack.
- Safe & Stable ‐ Low-profile platform, low centre of gravity, speed automatically reduces on turning, drastically reducing any shift in centre of gravity, keeping the AiroRider safe & stable.
- Ability to fold and dismantle ‐ the AiroRider can be separated into lightweight, manageable sections for ease of transportation and storage of the AiroRider e.g. car boot or in the home.
