This Is Ogo – A Revolutionary Self Balanced Two-Wheeled Mobility Device To Assistance Disabled People
People who brand role of traditional wheelchairs are daily confronted amongst a number of issues. Moving piece constantly looking downwards to avoid the small-scale front end wheels sinking into the frequent holes too ever having both hands busy (often getting dirty) tin Pb to frustration.
Not to cite the work of the rain, which compels wheelchair users to instruct moisture because of the impossibility of asset a unproblematic umbrella? Also dealing amongst slippery grounds, lilliputian steps or lilliputian slopes tin entail considerable risks. Ogo directly solves all these issues every bit it’s a self-balanced 2-wheeled completely hands-free mobility device which could help many disabled persons to a greater extent than or less the world.
Lead yesteryear Kevin, squad Ogo is a small, talented grouping of people, dedicated to Ogo's vision. The Ogo is award-winning, engineering too demand for it is growing every day. It was originally developed to a greater extent than or less Marcus’ needs.
How it was started?
Kevin too Marcus met when Marcus was education Kevin’s daughters at Otaki College. They constitute that they both shared beloved of champaign archery, too it was over this mutual passion that their friendship actually grew. Their local Kapiti Club offers a peculiarly unique experience, incorporating native bush too wood areas every bit good every bit opened upwards grassland.

Kevin observed Marcus,a paraplegic of 12 years, struggling through the stone oil terrain inwards his conventional wheelchair exhausting his unloose energy too stamina. Just wanting to instruct inwards easier for Marcus, Kevin, an engineering scientific discipline pattern maker yesteryear trade, prepare himself a challenge; to revolutionize personal shipping yesteryear producing mobility amongst liberty of movement! … journeying started for the Innovative production Ogo…!

The unique characteristic of the Ogo is the active moving spot command system, which makes it rattling intuitive to role - completely hands free! Based on good proven self-balancing engineering too a lot of kiwi ingenuity, they conduct hold created something novel too exciting. The user is able to displace yesteryear precisely leaning inwards the management they desire to travel. When you lot are inwards the Ogo you lot are using your meat muscles to move, plow too remain inwards balance.

The Ogo has a unique active-seat control, too industrial plant yesteryear the operator leaning inwards the management they desire to travel. If you lot lean forward, the Ogo volition displace forward; if you lot lean back, the Ogo volition displace back; if you lot lean to i side the Ogo volition plow inwards that direction. At times when you lot don’t desire the spot steering, in that location is a small-scale pollex controlled joystick selection that tin go mounted on the left or correct side.
By changing to our all-terrain wheels, the Ogo becomes an off route monster that tin go precisely most anywhere. Able to tackle soft sand, gravel, stone oil terrain too inclines, the Ogo is smaller, lighter too faster than most other powered mobility devices. Look frontwards to experiencing the liberty too exhilaration the Ogo tin offering every bit the Ogo squad takes personal shipping to a whole novel level!
Paraplegics, quadriplegics, quad amputees too people amongst many other disabilities conduct hold been able to role the Ogo effectively. Until now, the Ogo has been developed for lower-level spinal injuries.
However during the final 5 months of testing amongst varying levels of disabilities they’ve realized amongst a few pattern adjustments, it tin help many, many others. So yesteryear fundraising for the novel prototypes they tin confirm that they conduct hold the ultimate machine earlier they go into production subsequently inwards the year.
The novel prototypes volition conduct hold force push clitoris controls for repose of starting upwards too powering down, every bit good every bit automatic nigh downwards if the passenger gets off the seat. The 5 testing prototypes volition go tested inwards the primary centres of New Zealand. There, they volition go available for people to effort out too exam which give them a valuable feedback.
The self-balancing organization forcefulness to hold a constant too rattling subtle command of the centre of gravity. Therefore it requires a continuous activation of the postural muscles of the trunk which must rapidly response to external too internal variations.
This offers some benefits: it provides for the mightiness to command too hold a expert posture of the trunk inwards a seated position, encouraging the recovery of the physiological lumbar lordosis. It besides provides the unaware patient amongst existent do of postural biofeedback.
Please view too back upwards this projection yesteryear visiting at Indiegogo – Let’s brand afforfable Ogos a reality! (Source: Ogo Technology)
