ABOUT PIBOX
PiBOX consists of a twin-motor self-recharging continuously through the movement of wheelchairs.
The goal is to help people with reduced mobility who use wheelchairs become more independent by being able to climb small steps and ramps, thus overcoming architectural barriers in an economical and simple way.
The user, through the movement of his arms, will recharge the ferrous lithium battery located at the bottom of the chair.
PiBOX connects to an app that reports your daily strokes, encouraging you to exercise, battery level, SOS button, distance traveled, and more.
Using an NFC chip, anyone can access the rescue data the user wishes to provide in the event of an accident, such as blood type, age, medical conditions like diabetes, etc.
The PiBOX model is available for 20% of the price of a conventional electric wheelchair, and its installation is so simple that the user can do it themselves on any conventional wheelchair in 5 minutes.
WHY PIBOX?
