Please let us know as soon as your seating evaluation appointment is scheduled so a representative of Mobius Mobility can book time to join. From there we set up a time for fitting and training. 

Contact us at 1-833-346-4268 or at our contact page for more information.

Can I borrow an ibot® PMD for a week to make sure it works for me before buying one?

We provide demos at our facility in Manchester, NH, and at expos and events we attend frequently. We also host in-service/demo days in various locations across the country. Please visit our Where to Find Us page to see where the ibot® PMD will be next.

Is customer service/tech support available 24 hours a day?

Yes! We have a 24-hour service line: if you need immediate ibot® assistance, call (833) 346-4268 and dial option 9.

Our regular hours of operation are currently Mon-Fri 9:00am-5:00pm ET with major holidays being observed. 

Routine service requests should be directed to (833) 346-4268 (dial option 2). Our Mobius Mobility Service Technicians will address your call as quickly as possible. 

Where is the ibot® PMD manufactured?

The ibot® PMD is proud to be manufactured, assembled, and built in the USA by Mobius Mobility, in the historic Millyard of Manchester, New Hampshire! 

Does the ibot® PMD really climb stairs?

Yes! But note, the ibot® PMD does not climb stairs on its own. The user, or their trained assistant, climbs stairs by shifting the chair’s center of gravity in the direction you want to go. It takes some training and technique, but it’s not about strength. The ibot® PMD does much of the work for you. Check out some of our user stories to see stair climbing in action. 

Do you need trunk control to use the ibot® PMD?

The ibot® PMD is controlled through a joystick. Unlike the Segway or a seated Segway, users are not required to use balance or trunk control to move the device. To use the ibot® PMD you need to be able to drive using a standard joystick, as we do not currently offer specialty controls. Positioning and supports needed will be considered during your evaluation. 

What will training consist of?

Training usually takes 1-2 days and can occur at our facility in Manchester, NH, at a certified training facility, or in your home/community. Training time does vary depending on your needs and circumstances. Training modules will cover device components, operation and environments of use in all modes, and maintenance. 

Does the ibot® PMD accept custom seating?

Yes! The iBOT uses Motion Concepts seating, which accepts of a variety of seating and positioning components from Motion as well as other brands including Ride Design, Jay/Sunrise Medical, BodyPoint, Roho and more to fit your individual needs.

I need to demo the ibot® PMD before my therapist/payer will let me proceed – how can I make this happen?

Please contact us at 1-833-346-4268 or at info@mobiusmobility.com. Demos are offered at our facility by appointment. We also offer demo opportunities across the country at expos and individual facilities. We are happy to let you know when we will be in your area. 

Can I purchase an ibot® PMD from my local medical store?

The ibot® PMD can be purchased directly from Mobius Mobility in the United States and via distributors in Europe. Qualified veterans can receive an ibot® PMD through the VA. Contact your VA medical team to determine your eligibility to receive an ibot® PMD through our contract with the VA. Reference contract FSS #36F79721D0202.

Can I rent an ibot® PMD for an upcoming trip?

Unfortunately, no. This is a prescription medical device that requires fitting and training, so rentals are not an option.

I am an original ibot® user, do I have to come to training?

Yes. Training is required for all users of the ibot® PMD. The ibot® PMD has been updated since the ibot® 4000, and training is required by the FDA. For many previous users, training on the new ibot® PMD will go quickly due to the similarities.

Is the ibot® PMD approved for airline travel with the lithium-ion batteries?

Yes! The batteries meet the criteria of the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria. We provide each user with an Airline Travel Card to instruct airline staff on how the device should be handled and stowed with batteries in place.

How long does it take to go through the process start to finish to purchase an ibot® PMD?

Typically, once your order has been submitted, it takes approximately 45-60 days for your ibot® PMD to be built and ready for your training.
