What is the ibot® Personal Mobility Device?
The ibot® Personal Mobility Device (PMD) is a multimodal electric wheelchair designed with accessibility in mind. Known by many as the “stair climbing wheelchair”, the ibot® PMD is more than just a stair climbing machine. With six available modes in one device, the ibot® PMD is built to help make sure you can get where you need to go.
What Makes the ibot® PMD Different Than Other Electric Wheelchairs?
Eye Level View
Experience mobility, social interaction, and the world around you at the height you choose.
The ibot® PMD combines balance and motion to provide a unique eye level experience in mobility.
Terrain Following
The ibot® PMD’s 4-Wheel Mode also allows you to conquer steeper inclines and a wide variety of terrain with its terrain-following technology. The device automatically adjusts seat angle to the slope so you will feel stable the whole way.
Obstacle Climbing
For many wheelchairs, a few steps or a curb might as well be a mountain to climb. Not for the ibot® PMD. With Stair Mode you can ascend or descend stairs on your own or with the help of a trained assistant, depending on your ability. In 4 Wheel Mode you can climb curbs up to six inches!
Integrated Design
Sealed electronics, batteries, and motors mean your travels don’t need to stop just because of a little rain or standing water. Outdoor muddy or sandy activities? No worries, simply hose down the ibot® PMD before heading back inside. One device for your indoor and outdoor activities.
