R&D Fair Showcases IIT Madras' NeoBolt

NeoBolt (motorized add-on that converts the NeoFly wheelchair into a road-worthy vehicle) was showcased at the All IITs R&D Fair IInvenTive (https://iitshowcase.com/). NeoBolt clips on in seconds, converting the NeoFly manual wheelchair into a road-worthy scooter. With a range of 25 km and a top speed of 25 kmph, NeoBolt empowers users to commute to work, school, hospital, shops, etc., in rural and urban areas. Combined with accessible metros, the NeoBolt enables users to go faster and further than ever before. Tested for Indian road conditions, the device is powered by a battery and is currently used by over 800 wheelchair users across India. NeoBolt simply changes several inaccessible places for wheelchair users into accessible ones, giving a fair chance for persons with disability and the elderly to live active lives and perform their community roles. ‪@neomotionlife‬ ‪@IITMadrasOfficial‬ ‪@iitmaa5075‬ ‪@r2d2iitm‬
