About Whirlwind Wheelchair
Whirlwind Wheelchair International is a San Francisco-based group developing user-focused solutions for mobility. Their Roughrider wheelchair is a rugged, long wheelbase design optimized for the unique needs of the physically impaired in the developing world. The design, which has been in use for decades, has specific durability and usability requirements that must be considered during production, fitting, and ongoing use. The San Francisco team of Project H has partnered with Whirlwind to develop an anti-tip bar and quick-release axle for the Roughrider that will increase user maneuverability and allow medical professionals to more easily adjust the Roughrider for each user. Additionally, Project H is helping Whirlwind to transform their long wheelbase model into a US market version with an adjustable base. This adjustable length would provide the sturdiness of a long wheelbase model and the maneuverability of a short wheelbase model.
