#IITMadras develops India’s first indigenous motorised wheelchair vehicle #NeoBolt for differently-abled people, which can be used not only on roads but even on uneven terrains.
It is much cheaper than imported options with similar features. Has a maximum speed of 25 kmph and travels up to 25 km per charge. It empowers wheelchair users with a convenient, safe and low-cost mode of outdoor mobility when compared to cars, auto-rickshaws or modified scooters.
#NeoBolt is powered by a Lithium-Ion Battery that will give 25 km for every charge. #NeoBolt was developed by a team led by Prof. Sujatha Srinivasan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Faculty Head, TTKCenter for R2D2 IIT Madras (#TTKR2D2), #IITMadras, and has been commercialised through a startup called ‘NeoMotion.’
The startup has been co-founded by Prof. Sujatha Srinivasan and #IITMadras alumnus Swostik Sourav Dash, CEO, NeoMotion.
