I really don’ know what became of these rather unique wheelchair prototypes.

I’m hoping someone can shed some light on their fate. If nothing else they make for some interesting and cool eye candy.

The Transformable Wheelchair

The Transformable Wheelchair is a concept that transcends the functionality of wheelchairs. Designed by Caspar Schmitz, the wheelchair is made completely from durable polyurethane which is a strong plastic elastic in nature. The most special feature of the wheelchair is the transformation capability of the wheels. The circular structure of the wheels in traditional wheelchairs makes navigation of stairs impossible for wheelchair users. However, the wheels of this concept wheelchair can convert to an ellipsoid structure by applying pressure vertically on the handlebar. This allows the user to wheel himself up the stairs on his own.

Elevating Wheelchair

Jake Eddie has designed the Elevating Wheelchair which can help the person either sit or stand independently.

Wheelchair is adjustable in 2 modes, sitting and standing. Challenges perceptions of wheelchair users.
