Dutch company Revolve Mobility unveiled Revolve Air, a fully foldable active wheelchair, in Feb 2021 followed by a crowdfunding campaign in Sept 2023.
Eight years in the making and priced at £4,092 (converted from $4,999), it is especially suitable for air travel, fitting into overhead compartments and saving 60% space when folded.
It weighs 7 kg and supports up to 100 kg, featuring 24-inch foldable wheels with a unique collapsing mechanism.
The project secured £33,642 on Kickstarter, 4x its stated goal, yet the company cancelled the crowdfunding project in October 2023 saying they remain committed to its development through other avenues.
