Abstract
The ‘Kangan Roo’ is an innovative electric wheelchair design that can automatically contract and extend its wheelbase while in use. By lengthening the wheelbase it becomes a sturdy outdoor electric wheelchair that can ride up and down curbs of up to 15cm in height. By shortening the length of the wheelbase it becomes a neat and compact electric wheelchair, with the reduced turning circle making it suitable for indoor use.
Designed in Australia by Colin Johanson. Driven by Jonathan Jowers and filmed by Mark Duckworth, both of CATEA, Georgia Tech, Atlanta.
