Help us Create an Affordable Electric Wheelchair

Donation protected

We need your help to provide mobility independence to the disabled community!
Our team is creating an alternative to electric wheelchairs that saves the user and their families tens of thousands of dollars. 

After 6 months of persistence and hard work, we have developed a fully functional prototype device that makes ANY manual wheelchair fully electric. We call it the ProPulse.




Product testing is extremely costly, especially for a team of recent college graduates. Your contributions, no matter how large or small, will allow us to fund prototyping and testing expenses. Our goal is to introduce the ProPulse to the disability community by March 2020, but we can't do it without your help. Join us in our mission to provide undenied mobility to the world.

The ProPulse began as a Mechanical Engineering project at the University of Central Florida. However, after hours of speaking to wheelchair users, we realized that there is a serious need for this device. 

Disabled individuals have been left with few options to get access to powered wheelchairs. The high cost and long wait for electric wheelchairs has affected hundreds of thousands of people. Right now, there are over 52,000 Go-Fund-Me campaigns related to funding wheelchairs.  

Most of the time, insurance companies consider wheelchair users "not disabled enough" to receive a powered wheelchair. These individuals are faced with two options: either long term damage to their shoulders, or lose their independence and rely on a caregiver to push them. Even with the help of insurance, wheelchair users face a minimum of $45,000 in bank loans to pay for their wheelchair-accessible transportation. 

We need your help to change this. Together, let's give affordable independence and freedom of mobility back to wheelchair users worldwide.
