Doorstepclimber - the wheelchair

A quick look at the wheelchair we will be modifying.

Brand name: Handicare
Model name: Midway

This is a front wheel powered wheelchair. Powered by two motors that are directly connected to the wheels. The back wheels can rotate freely, making the wheelchair very flexible, and because it turns by moving the front wheels in opposite direction, it's turning point is between it's front wheel.

Here is an exploded view if the carrier part of the chair

The seat part can be equipped with various movable and adjustable parts to make the chair fit. Like an adjustable angle for the chair and an adjustable back. Also a lift is available. These things shouldn't affect the construction we are making, cause that wil be directly connected to the carrier part.
