Motorized Wheel Chair

Watch this demonstration video of the Levo C3 motorized wheelchair. I had mentioned the Levo C3 wheelchair in my previous article on High Tech Wheelchair Advancements. This video demonstrates its technical abilities adding so much mobility with curb climbing and full traction features, plus much more.

I’ll be doing a full review of this new motorized wheelchair in the near future. Stay tuned.

All I can say so far about the Levo C3 is: Incredible! This wheelchair is the transformer of transformers, very robotic and an asset to own.

The technological revolution has finally reached the world of motorized wheelchairs and it’s probably here to stay with the release of the newest models from Permobil, Levo and the dashboard controls for power chair users from Dynamic Controls. I’d have to say that hopefully these advances in the home care industry are here to stay, improving it and one day becoming more affordable.  However, the price for the most advance motorized wheelchairs is still pretty high. But you can investigate further to see if funding, assisted devices programs or health care insurance will cover these new models.  The benefits that come with these mobility devices are a must-have and make further investigation definitely worth it.

What I’m talking about is the recently released Permobil motorized wheelchair which offers a lot but also comes at a pretty steep cost to the consumer.  Priced at $55,000, this hi-tech four wheel drive all terrain mode is certainly bound to find some lucky owners. Funding is available and Permobil can assist in funding queries.  The website is at www.permobil.com.

Levo, a manufacturer from Switzerland, has rethought out the motorized wheelchair.  Levo has a wheelchair model, the LEVO C3, which moves from seated position to stand up position in a matter of seconds. It’s got four wheel drive and can climb up curbs of just over four inches and up 30% grades.  The LEVO C3 also includes R-Net drive, Bluetooth, knee supports and much more.  Incredibly innovative technology!  For more information on Levo products, check out their website at levousa.com.

Dynamic Controls, another innovative company has recently released an iPhone app, a power chair accessory that places a dashboard control panel with a speedometer and a battery charged indicator for your motorized electric wheelchair.  This iPhone app by Dynamic Controls allows you to connect to an iPhone or iPad bringing modern technology to your finger tips at the touch of a button.  You can get this app at iTunes for free currently, but it will eventually sell for approximately $100.  I suggest that you get the app while it’s still free.  It is compatible with Dynamic Controls Shark, DX, and DX2 control systems, and iPhone 4.  Since the iPhone 5 is about to come on the market in early October, you will have to inquire at the website to find out more about its compatibility when finallly released.  Find out more about the Dynamic Control iPhone app at their website www.dynamiccontrols.com/iportal.  Seems like this will become a much sought after wheelchair accessory you’ve got to have.

Ensuring the best in personal mobility, I’m pretty impressed with the latest technological advances in mobility for the consumer.  These technological advances in the world of motorized wheelchairs narrow the gap and provide a more daily active life to users with the best in power chair technology.
