What touched me is Elizabeth saying 'seeing Adam walking with his wife.'

How fantastic! Love the vision and drive behind this. I hope this is able to impact many lives in a positive way!!

What an awesome concept - but can it also climb stairs, and have a stand up feature to increase blood flow and equilibrium of the client?

This is amazing! I wonder how much of the hardware and control software is open-source. I could see many people covering a bowling ball with plastic patches and making their own contraptions.

This is the best thing since sliced bread, “build it and they will come” surly a commercial operator would jump at the chance to produce this.

Looking forward to be available and use one! Great work!

Looks great! Its really good to see not only a review from a person who uses a wheelchair in their everyday life but they were the instigator of this tech! 😊
