What happens when you combine a wheelchair and a Segway? The Ogo is born.
The Ogo is a new, tech-savvy approach to personal transportation. The vehicle was developed with help from the disabled community to create the most desirable and efficient transportation vehicle for maximum independence.
Unlike generic wheelchairs, the Ogo can go off-road, is hands-free and is steered by the body weight of the user. Similar to a Segway, the Ogo acts as an extension of the user's body. All you have to do is lean in the direction that you want to go in.
The Ogo strives to provide people with a new form of mobility for greater movement, freedom and independence. It's the Ogo team's priority to keep the prices low so anyone in need can afford it.
The Ogo is going into production in 2017, and will begin accepting pre-orders soon.
