Micro-adjustable suspension done right. RoChair's suspension is designed to dampen the bumps and jolts of everyday riding, and keep the chair running true– all without sacrificing performance.
Lifting your body in and out of your chair induces peak strain forces on your shoulders and wrists.
Because RoChair’s 20-inch wheels are located under the seat transfer is a breeze. In park-mode just swing up one of the arm rests and slide right on in. You’ll find lots of clearance to swing your leg on over. Talk about easy transfer.
An estimated 90% of all wheelchairs are push-rim propelled, a physically straining form of ambulation that can lead to repetitive strain injuries in the arms and, eventually, to secondary impairments and compounded disability.
RoChair provides a bio-mechanically efficient and non-injurious means of self-propulsion.
Stop taking pain killers for your joints. Leave your gloves at home.
Traditional push-rim propulsion is tough. Tough on the shoulders, wrists, and hands.
The RoChair employs an ergonomic, efficient, and compact front-and-center mounted lever drive system providing propulsion on both forward and backwards strokes.
Turn the handlebars like a bicycle to steer, extend the lever up to employ more power, twist the grip shift to change gears and pull back all the way to engage powerful disc brakes.
RoChair’s innovative new geometry and biomechanics make it the most accessible manual mobility device ever. Whether you're a para, quad, or just have difficulty walking it’s possible to ride RoChair.
With the handlebar front-and-center, adjustable seating positions, and sculpted arm rests the RoChair design offers built-in support to keep you safe and sitting up straight.
Using the handlebar to propel, steer, shift, and brake is a dream for those with limited hand or upper body strength.
Where special accommodation is required accessories are available.
The ROTA powertrain converts reciprocal (push-pull) linear motion into unidirectional rotary output. With one push-pull of the adjustable length lever arm RoChairʼs front wheels rotate up to 2 revolutions dependent upon the selected gear.
The RoChair gives riders the option of 8 gearing ratios that can be shifted at low velocity or input force. But we didn’t stop there. Depending on how much input force you need, you can extend the 24-inch telescoping lever arm. Hills - no problem.
RoChair provides a less strenuous means of propulsion than a traditional push-rim wheelchair, and offers significant mechanical advantage. This enables riders to enjoy traveling quickly and easily over considerable distances of variable terrain, camber and grade.
With a small footprint and fully articulated steering mechanism, RoChair provides the maneuverability essential for you to navigate through your home, office, classroom, public transport, shopping centers, and restrooms.
When you get stuck in a tight situation and need to reverse, spin, or shunt nothing works better than giving your front wheels a quick push. RoChair comes standard with push-rims on the front wheels.
RoChair was designed to be compatible with your life. In drive-mode you can row yourself to your destination at speeds up to 5 mph. When you reach your destination just stow the propulsion lever and roll in under your office desk or a table at your favorite restaurant.
Impervious to bumps in the road and ruts in the trail the RoChair will have you thinking about where you want to go rather than where you can’t.
The 20-inch front wheels makes riding over uneven ground comfortable and easy. Anti-tip wheels are included.
The ROTA powertrain delivers tremendous power to the front wheels. With your center of gravity optimally located traction is provided to both front and rear wheels.
On variable terrain, camber, or grade, no problem. RoChair's large front wheels and independent rear-wheel suspension work great.
The RoChair steers just like a bicycle. Turn the handlebar and the rear wheels turn. It couldn’t be any simpler.
With the RoChair you have incredible maneuverability.
RoChair turns in its own footprint just like your everyday chair.
Big function in a small footprint. That’s what the RoChair is all about. The RoChair is just 24 inches wide.
Standard doorways in a new home are typically 36 - 32 inches wide. Both ADA requirements and Specially Adapted Housing Minimum Property Requirements specify a minimum hallway width of 48 inches, with a minimum doorway width of 36 inches to allow full wheelchair accessibility.
Mobility has never looked this good.
Because ROTA designs both the powertrain and ride for RoChair, it's possible to address and improve things like vehicle performance, handling, ergonomics, and design.
RoChair is engineered to be ANSI/RESNA compliant, the standard for the mobility industry.
RoChair fully dissembles in seconds. If you were thinking about a road trip save some room for your new best friend.
All four wheels have quick release hubs. The seat folds up like magic.
Both seat base and back cushions attach with Velcro®. Perfect if you need to throw them in the wash after your ride.
