The Moon Wheel
One small wheelie for man, one giant wheelie for man kind
The Moon Wheel is a progressive suspension anti-tip system for wheelchair users.
​
As part of one day MIT Assistive Tech Hackathon, our team prototyped this system. We call this the Moon Wheel because it "lowers the gravity" for a wheelchair user as they navigate the world. We are a team of 5 engineering students from Olin College of Engineering and one co-designer, Erik, who brought this idea forward.
​
A big thank you to the volunteers and sponsors of the 2020 MIT Assistive Technology Hackathon.
